The standard pressure region is airspace that includes the Northern Domestic Airspace and all airspace above 18,000ft within the Southern Domestic Airspace. When flying in the Standard Pressure Region, your altimeter [...]
The pitot-static system needs to be checked and calibrated every 24 months for IFR flight.
Every 12 months the compass must be checked and calibrated. This is due to the magnetic deviation the compass experiences, which is caused by electromagnetic interferences within the flight deck.
While the gyroscopic axis remains fixed in space, the earth continues to rotate, causing the approximate 15° drift per hour. This is why we need to adjust the heading indicator to [...]
Angle of bank = (TAS in knots / 10) + 7 OR Angle of bank = (TAS in mph / 10) + 5
The standard criteria that departing aircraft will adhere to in order to assure obstacle clearance include: Cross the departure end of the runway at or above 35ft Make no turns until [...]
Rate of climb = (climb gradient x ground speed) / 60 There is also a chart in the CAP GEN that will help you determine your rate of climb.
