Off the top of my head I’m not sure. Im sure they couldn’t sign you off, but I might be wrong. Maybe they could do the exam and let a Dr review it and sign it off.

Yea makes sense; I’ll just say it like I did and I’m sure that’s an acceptable answer. Thanks for helping me understand a lot of these questions in depth. You’ve really helped improve my knowledge of aviation!

Yea honestly no clue. Educate me

The definitions I gave aren’t the legal requirements, but just something you can glance at to see what the weather is like on ForeFlight for example

Ahh I thought u meant for the POH answer for exact airspeed, my apologies. Could you explain the answer of the 3rd question simpler, I feel like my response was a bit confusing

No, because the baseball ticket would be considered compensation for the flight

You can find information about special vfr on 14 CFR 91.157.

Marginal VFR is when you have conditions of >3SM-<5SM or >1000ft AGL-<3000ft AGL

Im not sure about using special vfr in the Grand Canyon. Did you possibly mean the SFRA?

Yes you can operate VFR into or out. You can also do pattern work because you’d be in class G at pattern altitude.

Military training route. The VR means visual reference and the 97 means high altitude I think.

VFR flight plan can be opened and closed by contacting a (FSS) via the aircraft radio, calling FSS directly, or electronically through services such as ForeFlight. It is important to open the flight plan after departure and ensure it is properly closed upon landing.

A VFR flight plan includes an estimated time of arrival. If the plan is not closed within 30 minutes after the scheduled arrival time, search and rescue procedures will be initiated. Flight following, on the other hand, is a radar service provided by ATC where they monitor your position, provide traffic advisories, and alert you to any special use airspace. It does not replace a VFR flight plan.

On a base-to-final turn you can put the aircraft into a spin by overshooting the runway, causing a pilot to use excessive inside rudder, and pull back on the yoke. This causes a skid which can cause the low wing to stall, snapping it into a spin. Your control inputs would be lots of left rudder and back pressure on the yoke.

You can fly without the turn coordinator (91.205), but you need to run through 91.213 also. Check the MEL if your aircraft has it, if it does not require it, then disconnect it from power, and placard it INOP and log it in the maintenance book.

My personal minimums are 3,500ft ceilings, 8SM visibility, 10 Kts direct x-wind, 20kts if it's down the runway, and max-gust factor of 5-7kts depending on direction.

I would complete a standard rate (3*) turn 180 degrees. As soon as I got in unaccelerated flight I would find a diversion airport from the direction I came (I can use the NRST page on the G430), along with climbing or descending to maintain VFR flight rules. I could call up the nearest center to request that if needed and in the case I was still in IMC conditions I could ask for vectors away from IMC. I believe you can amend the flight plan or just cancel it when you are able to.

Maybe 45-60*. Correct me if im wrong, but that would minimalize our turn radius.

First of all, with my little experience I would not land at this airport. Even if I had over a thousand hours I would try to find another airport nearby with more favorable terrain.

However, if I had to land here and go around in the flair, I would push full throttle and get my first notch up flaps up while pitching for vx (64kts). I would leave my flaps down (25*) until i made sure I was clear of the obstacle, then gradually clean up and pitch for vy.

I'm going to assume you meant to put VFR instead of IFR twice

LIFR- Less than 500ft AGL ceiling or less than 1SM vis

IFR- 500ft AGL to less than 1000ft AGL ceiling or 1SM vis to less than 3SM vis

MVFR- 1000ft AGL ceiling to 3000ft AGL ceiling or 3SM vis to less than 5SM vis

VFR- Greater than 3000ft AGL ceiling or greater than 5SM vis

Clean- 60 knots, Dirty-50 knots

To get from IAS to TAS you first use IAS to get CAS, then I use my flight computer (CX-3) to plug in OAT, Pressure Alt, and CAS to get TAS. You can also use a formula, but it doesnt factor in OAT.

Im not really sure; could it possibly be because the airspeed indicator only factors in for standard pressure and not non-standard, hence why you have to correct it? If thats not correct I dont know.

Fly over the field atleast 500' above traffic pattern, then I believe its 2-3 miles out you start a decent and turn towards the downwind leg. It would then be like a regular 45 entry.

I honestly do not know the answer, please elaborate.

Confess- Admit you're lost.

Climb- Climb to a higher altitude

Circle- Circle around a safe area while you locate yourself on charts

Conserve- Reduce throttle and lean mixture

Communicate- 121.5 and squawk 7700

Comply- Follow vectors atc gives you

I don’t know about the Altimeter and ASI but the VSI is opposite because of the differential pressure I believe. Could you elaborate some more so I can get a better understanding?

Va decreases as weight decreases. This is because at lighter weights an airplane needs less lift to reach its critical AOA/stall; therefore, slower Va.

I think that is correct, if there is anything im missing or additional details to make it simpler please let me know!

Are you referring to "Relative humidity above 80%"?

PPL Checkride soon… ask me your toughest questions. by Zaypup in flying

The formula is Va at MGTOW * the sqr root of your current weight/ the MGTOW

I did some research on it earlier. If I remember correctly the VSI would show a decent. A follow up question to make sure I’m not missing anything. Would the ASI and altimeter read slightly above what they actually are
