If you experience an engine failure in a single-engine aircraft after takeoff, you should
establish the proper glide attitude.
If you are going to conduct a flight partially under VFR and partially under IFR, you should
file two flight plans, one for each portion of the flight.
The International Flight Plan, FAA Form 7233-4, is used
for domestic and international flights under VFR and IFR.
The line from point C to point B of the wind triangle represents
groundspeed and true course.
The most important rule to remember in the event of a power failure after becoming airborne is to
immediately establish the proper gliding attitude and airspeed.
To minimize the side loads placed on the landing gear during touchdown, the pilot should keep the
longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion.
The angular difference between true north and magnetic north is
magnetic variation.
When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed will
nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgment of gliding distance and landing spot.
What should be expected when making a downwind landing? The likelihood of
overshooting the intended landing spot and a faster groundspeed at touchdown.
VFR approaches to land at night should be accomplished
the same as during daytime.
