- Chapter 9: Flight Manuals and Other Documents › Aircraft Documents › Certificate of Aircraft Registration
Aircraft Documents Certificate of Aircraft Registration Before an aircraft can be flown legally, it must be registered with the FAA Aircraft Registry. The Certificate of Aircraft Registration, which is issued to the owner as evidence of the registration, must ... carried in the aircraft at all times. [Figure 9-8] The Certificate of Aircraft Registration cannot be used for operations when: • The aircraft is registered under the laws of a foreign country Figure 9-8. AC Form 8050-3, Certificate…
- Chapter 3: Aircraft Construction › Aircraft Design, Certification, and Airworthiness › A Note About Light Sport Aircraft
Note About Light Sport Aircraft Light sport aircraft are not designed according to FAA airworthiness standards. Instead, they are designed to a consensus of standards agreed upon in the aviation industry. The FAA has agreed the consensus of standards ... acceptable as the design criteria for these aircraft. Light sport aircraft do not necessarily have individually type certificated engines and propellers. Instead, a TC is issued to the aircraft as a whole. It includes the airframe, engine, and propeller. Aircraft…
- Chapter 3: Aircraft Construction › Lift and Basic Aerodynamics
Weight pulls the aircraft downward because of the force of gravity. It opposes lift and acts vertically downward through the aircraft’s center of gravity (CG). Lift opposes the downward force of weight, is produced by the dynamic effect ... wing, and acts perpendicular to the flight path through the wing’s center of lift (CL). An aircraft moves in three dimensions and is controlled by moving it about one or more of its axes. The longitudinal, or roll, axis…
- Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Aircraft Design Characteristics
Aircraft Design Characteristics Each aircraft handles somewhat differently because each resists or responds to control pressures in its own way. For example, a training aircraft is quick to respond to control applications, while a transport aircraft feels heavy ... controls and responds to control pressures more slowly. These features can be designed into an aircraft to facilitate the particular purpose of the aircraft by considering certain stability and maneuvering requirements. The following discussion summarizes the more important aspects…
- Chapter 9: Flight Manuals and Other Documents › Aircraft Documents › Aircraft Maintenance
Flight safety relies in part on the condition of the aircraft, which is determined by inspections performed by mechanics, approved repair stations, or manufacturers that meet specific requirements of 14 CFR part 43. A Special Airworthiness Certificate is issued ... aircraft certificated in other than the Standard classifications, such as Experimental, Restricted, Limited, Provisional, and Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA). LSA receive a pink special airworthiness certificate; however, there are exceptions. For example, the Piper Cub is in the LSA category…
- CHAPTER 5. PART 107 SUBPART B, OPERATING RULES (SMALL UAS) › 5.9 VLOS Aircraft Operation › 5.10.1 Small Unmanned Aircraft Operations Near an Airport—Notification and Permissions
remote PIC must yield right-of-way to all other aircraft, including aircraft operating on the surface of the airport (§ 107.43). Remote PICs are prohibited from operating a small unmanned aircraft in a manner that interferes with operations and traffic ... patterns at airports, heliports, and seaplane bases (§ 107.43). Small unmanned aircraft must always yield right-of-way to a manned aircraft. A manned aircraft may alter its flightpath, delay its landing, or take off in order to avoid a small…
