Practice sessions allow you to quickly use what you learn, and are optimized to help you learn quickly, no matter how much time you have. End-of-chapter tests make sure you fully understand aviation weather, and make sure you're ready for your checkride. The course breaks down aviation weather into sections on: METARs TAFs Pilot Reports Graphical Area Forecast (GFA) Winds Aloft Forecasts AIRMETs, SIGMETs, and Convective SIGMETs A final test makes sure you're ready to go, whether it's for your private pilot checkride, a biennial flight review, or simply helping you keep up-to-speed. While the course breaks practice sessions into small increments as you learn, the Bonus Quiz Chapter groups practice questions into major groups. You can quickly review questions covering broad topics, helping you practice for a checkride or keep your skills sharp. Best of all, you can practice whenever you have time. Even if you only have five minutes, you can answer a few questions and pick back up later. The Bonus Quiz Chapter includes sections on: This 21 minute video simulates part of a private pilot checkride oral, covering the questions your examiner will ask about weather reports and forecasts.
This just doesn't sound like a real world question, just one of those to see if you know those formulas that don't mean anything once you are flying the aircraft. Kind of like the formula to figure out many miles per minute you are flying at a certain mach speed. 10-07-2009, 05:34 PM # 7 atprn On Reserve Joined APC: Apr 2006 Position: Laid off Posts: 10 This site has lots of formulas Aviation Formulary V1. 44 10-08-2009, 11:06 AM # 8 Burrito Bandit Line Holder Joined APC: Dec 2008 Position: Wrong Posts: 55 Originally Posted by ctd57 That's what I automatically thought of, the climb gradient chart in the front of the NACO TERPS.

I just find it faster than messing with a EA6B in flight. Mostly it's just basic formulas anyways.
Feeling a little unsure about aviation weather reports and forecasts? We've all been there. Whether you're preparing for a checkride, or trying to figure out what the ceilings are going to be at your destination, reading weather reports and forecasts can be challenging.

I solved for x which is climb rate, using tan (4. 5 deg)= x /119 kts, then convert to fpm using the result times 6040 ft/ 60 min. There is a pretty good website for aviation math here. It's hard to do math problems flying, and probably not advised, but this will help. Last edited by Cubdriver; 11-29-2007 at 06:07 PM. 11-29-2007, 07:23 PM # 5 Thanks folks.
