Thanks for all the help I think I got it now, just another quick question: An Aircraft is loaded to its max certified takeoff weight of 7,450 lbs.

Hi, I am currently working through the Sharper Ege Commercial Pilot exam prep, but I can't seem to figure out this question: Your Altimeter indicates an altitude of 7000 feet, with an altimeter setting of 29.42 (based on a station at sea level) while flying above a ridge which is 5000 AMSL. The outs...

Hi I am confused about forward slips, my instructor says that you need to turn into the wind (so if the wind is from the 10 o clock position, then it would be left aileron up with right rudder) same inputs as a side slip. But I went up with a different instructor and he said that you need to yaw int...

Hey,
At a busy controlled field, where is an appropriate place to do your run up?

I trained at an uncontrolled field, and there is always space near the hold short point to do the run up, but at the controlled field I dont want to hold people up.

Thanks

Hi, can someone explain to me about winter baffles, I know in the 172 they go in around -5 degrees, but is that ground temp? What if say your destination is warmer, would this have a big affect on the aircraft? Does is have to be installed colder than -5, or would it be ok to put them in when it is ...

Hi, I have a few questions about the 172. When you are doing a run up a 1700 rpm and the mag check gives a large drop in rpm, would you just run it at say 2300 rpm for a few minutes, then try again? If it stops running rough I would assume it would be safe to depart? And during the run up, when you ...

Thanks,

I was looking at a few books, "Severe Weather Flying", "Fair Weather Flying", and also the Killing Zone which I thought looks interesting,

Has anyone read any of these?

Hi, I was wondering if someone could provide the title of some good reading material that have to do with weather, especially winter flying, and I was also wondering if anyone knows of a good website I can order canadian training publications from?


Thanks for the help

Thanks for all the reply's, how many hours should you typically build up before starting the commercial?

Hi,

I am wondering what the typical path is after you aquire a PPL, should you build your hours up then take a night rating, or take the night rating soon after the ppl, then build your hours and eventually take the CPL?

I guess I should have mentioned it, but the airport im talking about is CER3, so if any one is familiar with it maybe they can verify if it is class E?

Thanks for the quick reply, it doesn't actually say E700 on the map, just on the legend for the jagged line, but I assume it would be class E then

Thanks for all the great reply's, basically im trying to determine what class of airspace for a certain airport, and it is surrounded by some jagged line which on the legend says "E700", but on the actuall map it has B12500 within surrounded area. And also say you are flying at 5500 through airspace...

Hi, I am just studying my VNC, and have a couple questions,

When it says something like B12500 ASL, does that mean it is class B above 12,500 ASL, and below would be class G?

Does anyone know of a website where they give good information on VNC charts, like sample questions?

Thanks

All I can think of is the suction gauge would not be in the green, and your turn checks would show error,...

For uncontrolled airports you can cross of the field at 500 above circuit alt, than join the downwind, but what is there is someone in the circuit already say in downwind, how can you join?

Thanks for all the great suggestions, I think I have it figured out now

Hi, thanks for all the replys, but im confused, like say the pressure altitude for the ground is 2300, and for cruise the pressure altitude is 5800, im kinda confused on how to figure it out because the values under the pressure altitude heading increase by 1000's, so would I choose whatever is clos...

Hi, I im stuck trying to find the fuel to be used during a climb and enroute portion of flight. I know for the start it is 1.1 gallons for start, and taxi.

Thanks for all of the reply's and yes I am a new student, I just have two more questions, what does a 270 degree turn look like?

Hi, I was just wondering if I can get some help with Communication Failures? If your outside of a control zone would you fly a triangular pattern while squawking 7600? Then would you fly over the field at 1000 ft about airport elevation and join the downwind? How would you tell which is the active r...
