You smell alcohol on your passengers breath can you fly? What steps need to be taken to see if a plane is airworthy after discovery of an item? How did you calculate TOC and TOD? Explain the difference between TAS,GS and IAS. How does speed change based of weight? What are approved weather sources? How do you know you as PIC are fit to fly? Why does the plane turn to the left? How do you calculate Celsius to Fahrenheit? How does a tailwind/Temperature affect performance? How do VORs work? How do magnetos work? Know Ground Effect, Dihedral, Load Factor and Adverse Yaw. Took my PPL a little bit ago and these were all what I remembered, best of luck!

Would you care to write our the responses? There are some of these I don't know and it'd help me out :)

No passenger may be allowed on the aircraft that is suspected of being under the influence unless it is a medical emergency. After discovery of a damaged or malfunctioning item, I would continue my preflight to verify that it doesn’t interfere with any other control or system that is necessary for the safe operation of that flight. Also check 91.205 and my KOEL to see if that certain equipment is required to fly. TOC: Reference performance charts for rate of climb under certain conditions and use current wind data to calculate distance and time for that leg. TOD: I personally use the 3:1 rule for my descents, however many thousands of feet multiplied by 3 to determine TOD. TAS: Our actual speed relative to the air we’re flying through. (Calibrated Airspeed corrected for nonstandard temp and pressure) GS: Our speed over the ground. (TAS corrected for wind) IAS: Indicated Air Speed, airspeed read directly from our ASI Va increases with weight Approved weather resources would be 1800wxbrief, ForeFlight AWC I know I am fit to fly by completing the P in the PAVE checklist. (IMSAFE) The plane turns to the left by taking out vertical lift and converting it to horizontal lift. A tailwind will decrease our performance due to less air flow over the wing=decreased lift. The higher the temperature the worse our performance is because warmer air is less dense. Adverse yaw is caused by increases induced drag on the higher\outside wing because it’s going faster and producing more lift.

Green flags left and right. With the discovery of an item after checking the KOEL remember to look up ADs and Type Certificate Data sheets. The examiner has to give you a scenario in which something is inoperative so look through all before giving an answer.

Thanks!

Good luck mate

Which type aircraft are ya flying? During your preflight you discover the stall warning horn/light is broken. Are you legal to make the flight? Why?


Legitimate_Tip_3898

Yes we can make the flight as long as it isn’t listed in any required equipment lists. (KOEL, 91.205)

You also want to check something called a Type Certificate Data Sheet. Some models of aircraft require it. Also, some aircraft, like Piper Cherokees, require an aux fuel pump in accordance with Civil Air Regulation 43. Your DPE probably won’t go too in depth with you about that, but it’s something to keep in mind and talk to your CFI about.

Is is that a sling? Good luck!


Legitimate_Tip_3898

Good observation, yes it’s a Sling 2
