  2. OR...... MNEMONICS, FORMULAE AND OTHER AVIATION TRIVIA

  3. Introduction • REVIEW • MANY SUBJECTS QUICKLY • WEATHER • AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE • WEIGHT AND BALANCE • NAVIGATION • STUFF

  4. WEATHER WISE • STANDARDS: SEA LEVEL PRESSURE 29.92 TEMPERATURE 59F/15C • CONVERTING TEMPERATURES EASY WAY: C to F/Double + 30 Example: 15 C 15 x 2=30 + 30 = 60F (59)

  5. FORMULA • C = 5/9 X (F - 32) Example: 15C = 5/9 x (59 - 32) 5/9 x 27 5 x 27=135 div. 9 = 15

  6. FORMULA • F=(9/5 X C) +32 Example: 59F=(9/5 x 15) + 32 9 x 15 = 135 135 div. 5 = 27 27+32 = 59F

  7. TEMPERATURE LAPSE RATE • NORMAL: 3.5deg F per 1000’Altitude Example: 75F on ground WHERE (APPROX.)IS FREEZING LEVEL? 75 - 32 = 43 degrees to drop to freezing 43 divided by 3.5 = 12.3 freezing level approx. 12,500 AGL

  8. HEIGHT OF CLOUD BASE • Ceiling Definition: Lowest Level of clouds described as broken, overcast, not thin or partial. TO CALCULATE: SURFACE TEMP - DEW POINT DIVIDED BY 4.4F or 2.5C

  9. CLOUD BASE FORMULA Surface temperature minus dew point Example: 77F-53=24div4.4=5.45(5500AGL) 33C-25=18div2.5=7.2(7200AGL)

  10. CLOUDS • STRATUS CLOUDS: • SURFACE (LOW TO GROUND) • SMOOTH AIR • STABLE SYSTEM • SHOWERY PRECIPITATION

  11. CLOUDS • CUMULUS CLOUDS • CHOPPY AIR • CLEAR VISIBILITY • CHIMNEY LIKE DEVELOPMENTS

  12. FOG • EXPECT WHEN ? WHEN TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT SPREAD OF 2 DEGREES OR LESS

  13. VISIBILITY • WHEN SURFACE IS JUST VISIBLE OVER NOSE OF AIRCRAFT, GROUND VISIBILITY IS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE FOR EVERY 1000 FEET OF ALTITUDE.

  14. CALCULATING VISIBILITY EXAMPLE: When cruising at 5000 AGL, ground is visible over nose....surface visibility is roughly 5 miles.

  15. PRESSURE PATTERNS • NORTHERN HEMISPHERE • HIGH PRESSURE:CLOCKWISE CIRCULATION • LOW PRESSURE: COUNTER CLOCKWISE CIRCULATION

  16. HIGH PRESSURE • MEMORY AIDE: Use Thumb up, fingers travel clockwise (high) • UseThumb down, fingers travel counter clockwise (low).

  17. PRACTICAL USE • On Extended Flight from East to West • Fly North of Low • and South of High

  18. SURFACE WEATHER MAPS • ISOBARS • Lines of equal pressure • bars barometer • ISOTACHS • Lines of equal wind velocity • tach into the wind

  19. SURFACE WEATHER MAPS • ISOTHERMS Lines of equal temperature therm thermometer

  20. AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE • ENGINE FAILURE (FLR) Fly the aircraft Look for a place to land Restart attempt

  21. PRESSURE CHANGES • 1 INCH OF PRESSURE = 1000 FEET • example: actual altimeter 29.94 • aircraft’s setting 29.69 • error in altitude .25 • 250 feet in error (1000 x .25)

  22. TEMPERATURE CHANGES • FROM HIGH TO LOW LOOK OUT BELOW • Colder than standard temperature or pressure will place aircraft lower than the altimeter indicates.

  23. ALTITUDES • TRUE: Height above sea level • ABSOLUTE:Height above terrain • PRESSURE: Height above standard data plane at 29.92 • DENSITY: Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature.

  24. AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE • Airspeeds • ICE TEA I Indicated Airspeed C Calibrated E Equivalent T True

  25. AIRSPEEDS • Add 2% of indicated for each 1000’ of altitude • Example: 150KIAS at 5000’ MSL • 2% of 150=3 • 3X5 (1000’s of feet)=15 • 150+15=165K approximate TAS • Give

  26. ALTIMETERS • ACCEPTABLE ERROR = +/- 75 FT. • PITOT STATIC TEST: 24 CAL. MO

  27. TIRE HYDROPLANING • square root of tire pressure X 9 example: 100 psi tire square root is 10 10 x 9 = 90 K approx hydroplaning speed

  28. AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE • V SPEEDS • Vne: do not exceed • Va: maneuvering speed • Vle: gear extended speed • Vlo: gear operating speed • Vfe: flap extended speed

  29. AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE • Vso: Stall speed in landing configuration • Vs1: Stall speed in clean configuration

  30. WEIGHT AND BALANCE W A M • WEIGHT X ARM=MOMENTS

  31. WEIGHT AND BALANCE • Total Momemts divided by Total Weight= Center of Gravity TMTGCG

  32. WEIGHT AND BALANCE • ARM=MOMENTS DIVIDED BY WEIGHT • WEIGHT=MOMENTS DIVIDED BY ARM

  33. WEIGHTS • 100LL and 80 Oct= 6lbs gallon • Jet A= 6.72 lbs. per gallon • 100LL=Blue • 80Oct=Red • 100Oct=Green • JetA=Clear

  34. FORMULA • Jet Fuel Weight Calculation: Request 1000 lbs of Jet A Drop Last Zero 100 Divide in half 50 Add both 150 gal equal 1000#Jet A

  35. NAVIGATION • ALTITUDES TO FLY EAST IS ODD

  36. DIRECTIONS • EAST IS ODD • EAST ODD PLUS 500 VFR • WEST EVEN PLUS 500 VFR • IFR SAME ONLY DROP 500

  37. TRIVIA • IFR ABOVE FL 290 • EAST IS 290/330/370/410/450/490 • WEST IS 310/350/390/430/470/510

  38. NAVIGATION • VARIATION EAST IS LEAST AND WEST IS BEST • Subtract Easterly variation and add • Westerly variation

  39. COMPASS TRICKS • ANDS • ACCELERATE NORTH • DECELERATE SOUTH MOST APPARENT ON EAST OR WEST HEADINGS.

  40. COMPASS TRICKS Why? • Due to the dip of the earth’s magnetic field. The aft end of the compass card tilts upward when accelerating and tilts downward when decelerating.

  41. COMPASS TRICKS • LAGS NORTH/LEADS SOUTH If you are on a northerly heading and turn East or West, compass lags your turn. If you are on a southerly heading and turn East or West, compass leads your turn. Leads and lags by degrees of latitude of your location, i.e., CLE 41 deg. North.

  42. TIME TO STATION • 60 X MINUTES BETWEEN BEARING CHANGE • DIVIDED BY DEGREES OF BEARING CHANGE

  43. TIME TO STATION EXAMPLE • 60 X 4 (TIME TO FLY 10 DEG. BEARING CHANGE) • DIVIDED BY 10 DEGREES BEARING CHANGE • 240 DIVIDED BY 10=APPROXIMATELY 24 MINUTES TO STATION

  44. DISTANCE TO STATION • TAS X MINUTES BETWEEN BEARING CHANGE • DIVIDED BY • DEGREES OF BEARING CHANGE

  45. DISTANCE TO STATION EXAMPLE • 125 ktas X 2.5 MINUTES (TIME TO FLY 5 DEGREES BEARING CHANGE) • DIVIDED BY • 5 DEGREES BEARING CHANGE • 125 X 2.5=312.5 • DIVIDED BY 5 = • 62.5 NM APPROX TO STATION

  46. NAVIGATION • ADF ORIENTATION True Bearing to Station=TH+Rel Bearing Mag Bearing to Station=MH + RB Relative Bearing=MB - MH

  47. COURSE True Course +/- WCA= TH TH +/- Mag Variation=MH MH +/- Deviation=Compass Hdg. Mag Variation: Off the chart Deviation: Compass Corr. Card

  48. STUFF • AIRSPACE A Above FL 180 B Busy Airport C Crowed Airport

  49. AIRSPACE • D Directly above Control Tower and its approach path • E Everything else Controlled • G Ground to Controlled

  50. LIGHTS • VASI • RED OVER RED YOU ARE DEAD • WHITE OVER WHITE HIGH AS A KITE
