    the decrease it deems appropriate from the total number of hours established.

    What are the attributions and limitations of a Private Pilot?


    - Attributions: act, but without payment, as a pilot in command or copilot of the
    appropriate aircraft category.
    - Instrument flight instruction received doesn’t give the owner of a private pilot
    license the rating to fly aircrafts in IFR.

    Which are the systems of the aircraft?

    What happens if the pitot tube/static port gets clogged?

    What’s arm?
    Arm (moment arm)—the horizontal distance in inches from the reference datum line
    to the CG of an item.

    What’s Datum?
    Datum (reference datum)—an imaginary vertical plane or line from which all
    measurements of arm are taken. The datum is established by the manufacturer.
    Once the datum has been selected, all moment arms and the location of CG range
    are measured from this point.

    What’s Moment?
    Moment—the product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm. Moments are
    expressed in pound-inches (in-lb). Total moment is the weight of the airplane
    multiplied by the distance between the datum and the CG.

    Weather Services

    Tell me the kinds of observations.


    METAR (Aviation routine weather reports) valid only when issued but can be used as
    reference until a new one is issued 55 minutes later.
    PIREPs (Pilot weather report)

    Tell me about the kinds of forecast


    TAF (Terminal aerodrome forecast) valid for a 24-hour or 30-hour time period. Issued
    4 times a day (0000Z, 0600Z, 1200Z, 1800Z).

    What does FM, TEMPO, PROB mean?


    FM = “From” change within an hour expected
    TEMPO = “Temporarily” fluctuation of weather expected to last less than an hour
    PROB = “Probability” of precipitation or thunderstorm occurring in the coming hours.

    What’s an AIRMET and a SIGMET?


    Airmet =Airman’s meteorological information reports moderate icing or turbulence,
    sustained surface winds of 30kt or greater, and ceiling lower than 1000ft, visibility of
    less than three miles

    SIGMET = Significant Weather Report.

    5 hazardous attitudes and their antidotes

    Anti Authority (don’t tell me what to do) – follow the rules, they are usually right
    Impulsivity (do it fast) – not so fast, think first
    Macho (i can do it) – taking chances is foolish
    Invulnerability (it won’t happen to me) – it could happen to me
    Resignation (what’s the use?) – i’m not helpless, i can make a difference

    What’s hypoxia and what types are there?

    Hypoxia is described as the lack of oxygen in the body.

    - Hypoxic Hypoxia: when the body cannot get enough oxygen as a whole.
    Caused by the low oxygen levels in high altitudes.
    - Hypemic Hypoxia: when the blood cannot take up an enough amount of
    oxygen to transport. Can be caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.
    - Stagnant Hypoxia: is when oxygen rich blood in our lungs cannot circulate.
    Caused because of an excessive acceleration of gravity.
    - Histotoxic Hypoxia: when the cells are not able to receive the oxygen
    circulating in the blood. Caused because of the consumption of alcohol, drugs
    or other narcotics.
