required instrument acronyms
does anybody remember the acronyms for the required instruments and what they stand for?
I seem to remember one: Moofactar
M
O (OAT?)
O
F (Fuel indicators)
A (Altimeter)
C (Compass)
T (Timer?)
A (Attitude indicator)
R (Radio?)
but I definatly can't remember the night one.

Yay, foud it:
Manifold pressure guage
Oil temperature guage
Oil pressure guage
Fuel qantity indicators
Aairspeed indicator
Compass
Tachometer
Altimeter
Radiocommunication
and
Fuses
Attitude indicator
Tturn coordinator
Directional Gyro
Altimeter (sensitive)
Pitot Heat
Postion/anticollision lights
Instrument lights
Landing light (if carrying pax)
OAT guage
Vertical speed indicator

Oil temperature guage

Ok, I found this:
http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/gener ... 9/menu.htm
But where does it say that you must have memorized all the CARs? Isn't that why we carry around the CAP GEN?

Like bar left, ball right heading indicator decreasing, compass free and swinging?EchoNovemberAlpha wrote:Sorry a bit new to these... When do you use these...
Can understand the latter is for Night ops...but MOOFACTAR..??
Any acronyms for Inst checks on taxiing...
Cheers
Then VOR/ADF/GPS?

Yep...that's what i was referring to...any acronyms for it..?Like bar left, ball right heading indicator decreasing, compass free and swinging?
Then VOR/ADF/GPS
I know it's more or less the 'left to right/ top to bottom' thing on the standard instrument panel...but any acronyms or easy to remember tips..??
Cheers...
PS.."Bar left"
You wanna do both a left turn and a right turn before takeoff.
I just go left to right across the panel, just like I do a pre-takeoff or pre-landing check.
My callout would be:
Left turn: "turn left, ball right, attitude indicator steady, heading decreasing, compass swinging, ADF increasing"
Right turn: "turn right, ball left, attitude indicator steady, heading increasing, compass swinging, ADF decreasing"
Note the turn right/left call is the same with both a turn co-ordinator (wings) and needle (turn and slip) because they both indicate the direction of yaw.
This really isn't as hard as you're making it out to be.

Thats easy, its exactly the way I was taught.bob sacamano wrote:But that is.Hedley wrote:My callout would be:

And for MOOFACTAR, I think one O is OAT and one is Oil temp/pressure
ST
The only three things a wingman should ever say: 1. "Two's up" 2. "You're on fire" 3. "I'll take the fat one"
The clock is only required for power-driven aircraft too.Nappy wrote:if you strip it the bare minimums, it is AACC = Airspeed ind., Altimeter, Compas, Clock. If you have an engine, you have to add tach, oil press and temp... appart from that, you don't need a manifold pressure gage nor radios if you're flying from an atf.
Check CAR 602.60:Nappy wrote:"The clock is only required for power-driven aircraft too"
I just looked through the cars... now section 605.14 for VFR powered flight says nothing for a time piece.. and actually neither does the others sections... so is it still required??
602.60 (1) No person shall conduct a take-off in a power-driven aircraft, other than an ultra-light aeroplane, unless the following operational and emergency equipment is carried on board:
...
(f) a timepiece that is readily available to each flight crew member;
....

[quote]ADF increasing"[quote] or 'decreasing' as the case may be.
I must be having a brain fart, because for the life of me, I can not remember ever seeing that as a checklist item. Are you talking about an RMI or an HSI?
Seems to me it might be hard to get an ADF signal on the ground at some airports and that an increase or decrease would be dependent on the relative position of the plane to the station.
Explain this to an old guy will you.
Perhaps I misunderstood your original question also. Are these memory items, that is do you have to know all these nowadays for an exam or flight test? If it is so, does anyone have the reference for the standard requiring this bit of knowledge?
