- 2. Private Pilot Study Guide Acronyms Types of Airspeeds Indicated – The speed read from the instrument panel Calibrated – Indicated corrected for position and installation error of pitot Equivalent – Calibrated corrected air flow error at greater than 180 kts True – Equivalent corrected for pressure and temperature. Ground – True corrected for winds Types of Altitudes Indicated – The altitude read from the instrument panel Pressure – Indicated corrected for non standard pressure Density – Pressure corrected for non standard temperature Absolute – Altitude above the ground level True – Altitude above sea level Engine System 4 cylinders Carburetor Horizontally opposed cylinders Air cooled Normally aspirated (no turbo or super charger) Direct drive Lycoming Types of Hypoxia A - Altitude – Hypoxic – Not enough oxygen B - Blood – Stagnant – Blood not circulating C – Cells – Hypemic – Cells aren’t carrying the oxygen molecules D – Drugs – Histotoxic – Body tissue is poisoned by drugs and alcohol This study guide was compiled by Matt Ayer.

It is not depicted. Special use airspace Warning – International waters – No permission needed Alert – High concentration of flight activity – No permission needed Restricted – Unusual activity – Must have permission Military Operating Area – Seperates IFR and military traffic – No permission needed Prohibited – Area of national security (White house) – Never enter Controlled firing area – Not depicted – No permission needed This study guide was compiled by Matt Ayer.

- 5. Private Pilot Study Guide Weather Theory 3 factors to create thunderstorms 3 stages in a thunderstorm • Unstable air • Cumulus (Updrafts, formation of cloud) • Lifting action • Mature (Rain begins, anvil shape, updraft and • Moisture downdraft) • Dissipating (Downdrafts, microbursts) 6 types of fog 4 types of clouds • Radiation (Calm clear nights, ground cools) • Cirrus (High altitude, made of ice crystals) • Advection (Warm air moves over cold • Stratus (Low, horizontal formation) surface, land moving from land to sea) • Cumulus (Small white puffy clouds) • Upslope (Air moves upward on a slope cooling to its dew point) • Cumulonimbus (Towering thunderstorm clouds) • Ice fog (Frozen crystals are suspended in air) • Freezing fog (Supercooled water droplets suspended in air until freezing on a surface) • Steam (Cool air mixing with warm, moist air causing saturation) Weather Services Metar Airmets – valid 6 hours • Issued hourly (+55) • Sierra (mountain obscurations and IFR) • valid until the next • Tango (Moderate turbulence and • 2 types surface winds greater that 30 knots) 1. Standard • Zulu (Light icing and freezing levels) 2. Speci (Unscheduled observation due to weather) Sigmets – Valid 4 hours Convective Sigmets • Severe or greater turbulence • Severe thunderstorms • Severe or greater icing • Surface hail ¾ inches or greater in • Volcanic ash diameter • Sand/ Dust Storms • Surface winds greater than or equal to 50 kts • Tornadoes • Embedded thunderstorms • Lines of thunderstorms • Precipitation affecting 40% or more of an are of 3000 sq. miles This study guide was compiled by Matt Ayer.
