  pilots must have a thorough understanding of the right-of-way rules as they apply to aircraft versus other vessels. Seaplane pilots are expected to know and adhere to both the U.S. Coast Guard’s (USCG) Navigation Rules, International-Inland ... collision avoidance rules as they apply to aircraft on the water. A seaplane is considered a vessel when on the water for the purposes of these collision avoidance rules. In general, a seaplane on the water must keep well clear…

  Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) a. For reasons peculiar to military or naval operations (unusual siting conditions, the pitching and rolling of a naval vessel, etc.) the civil VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) system of air navigation was considered unsuitable for military ... naval use. A new navigational system, TACAN, was therefore developed by the military and naval forces to more readily lend itself to military and naval requirements. As a result, the FAA has integrated TACAN facilities with the civil VOR/DME program…

  first Sunday in November, the sun is directly above the 75th meridian at noon, Central Daylight Time. These time zone differences must be taken into account during long flights eastward—especially if the flight must be completed before dark. Remember ... hour is lost when flying eastward from one time zone to another, or perhaps even when flying from the western edge to the eastern edge of the same time zone. Determine the time of sunset at the destination by consulting…

Fire Zones Powerplant compartments are classified into zones based on the airflow through them. 1. Class A zone—area of heavy airflow ... similarly shaped obstructions. The power section of a reciprocating engine is usually of this type. 2. Class B zone—area of heavy airflow past aerodynamically clean obstructions. Included in this type are heat exchanger ducts, exhaust manifold shrouds, and areas…
