FIRST PART PILOT EXAM

Web Development
A halo around the moon
Warm front approaching - Lowering of cloud base - Cirrus, cirrostratus, altostratus, nimbostratus - Surface wind backing.
Web Development
Stalled Wing
When the airflow is no longer moving over the top surface of the wing.2/3 lift has gone.
Web Development
V.M.C below 3,000ft A.M.S.L
Airspace Class G. Clear of cloud, in sight of the ground, Flight visibility 1500 meters.
Web Development
Q.N.H, Q.F.E
Questionble Nautical Height - Questionble field elevations
Web Development
Cold Front
Clouds Cumulonimbus, cumulus, cu-nimbus. Drop in temp, wind veer, fall in pressure to rise once front has past.
Web Development
CAVOK
Ceiling and Visibility Ok, no cloud at all below 5000 feet and vis greater than 10km (6 miles)
Freeflight Brighton

SECOND PART PILOT EXAM

Web Development
AIAA
Area of Intense Aerial Activity. These are marked on a chart as as a blue line made up of diamond shapes, there will also be an indication of its name and altitude restrictions. As paraglider pilots we can fly in these areas but an even better look out is required than normal as you should expect other aircraft to be around.
Web Development
D306/10.0
Danger area, with designation 306 upto an altitude of 10,000 feet AMSL
Web Development
MATZ dimensions
Military Aerodrome Traffic Zone: 3000feet up 5nautical miles radius plus 5nm long runway 4nm wide.
Web Development
LOW PRESSURE
Rotates anti clockwise in the northern hemishere.
Web Development
HIGH PRESSURE
Rotates clockwise in the northern hemishere.
Web Development
Buys Ballots Law
Buys Ballot's law states that, in the Northern Hemisphere, if a person stands with his back to the wind, the atmospheric pressure is low to the left and high to the right. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is reversed.

Wind Veers.
When Surface winds turn clockwise.
Web Development
ICAO Barometric pressure 0 km MSL

Web Development
Cold Front
Clouds Cumulonimbus, cumulus, cu-nimbus. Drop in temp, wind veer, fall in pressure to rise once front has past.
Web Development
CAVOK
Ceiling and Visibility Ok, no cloud at all below 5000 feet and vis greater than 10km (6 miles)
Freeflight Brighton

FOURTH PART PILOT EXAM

Web Development
VMC ABOVE 3,000FT
When above 3,000ft or 1,000ft above terrain, whichever is higher: 1500m horizontally and 1,000 ft vertically from cloud; Flight visibility 5km below 10,000ft and 8km above 10,000 ft.
Web Development
ACTIVE COLD FRONT
Stratus cumulus - cumulonimbus
Web Development
APPROACHING WARM FRONT
C.A.N Cirrus - altostratus - Nimbostratus - Surface wind backing - Night before Halo around the moon and or Sun.
Web Development
LOW PRESSURE
Rotates anti clockwise in the northern hemishere.
Web Development
Air Flow
An areofoil shaped wing has 2/3 on top of the wing. This is known as Low pressure.
Web Development
Bernoulli priceiple
Liquid passed through a ventuiri tube would increase the flow and reduce the pressure. Same as a areofoil wing. As of 2021 this idea has been challenged.
