Tutorial: FAA Exam: When Is Supplemental Oxygen Required?
Nels_Anderson posted an article in Featured
FAA Exam: When Is Supplemental Oxygen Required? By thecorporatepilotdad If flying in an UNPRESSURIZED airplane at 13,000 feet, is oxygen required, and if so, when is it required? What about passengers? Are they required to use oxygen or can it just be supplied to them? This question deals with supplemental oxygen when flying in an unpressurized aircraft. The altitudes listed in FAR 91.211 state altitudes as CABIN ALTITUDES, but the question is in regard to unpressurized aircraft, so MSL altitudes are used. FAR 91.211 (Supplemental Oxygen Requirements) state when oxygen is required. Instead of reading the regulation, here is a visual representation on when oxygen is required. Without the use of oxygen at higher altitudes, hypoxia becomes a concern. A simulated effect of hypoxia is show on screen as well as information on where to get high altitude training in an altitude chamber to learn more about a person's effects of hypoxia. This video details a question from the FAA Instrument Knowledge exam (AKA Instrument Written) in a series of videos showing questions and explanations of FAA written questions with topics that pertain to pilots and and even users of Microsoft Flight Simulator looking for a more realistic experience. All facts in this video are subject to change. This video is intended as entertainment and any regulation used in videos should be fully understood by the viewer and regulations are subject to change.

FAA Exam: Rate Of Descent Required By thecorporatepilotdad This video shows how to determine the rate of descent required to become established on the glide slope on an ILS approach. The climb and descent table is used, but also two methods for figuring the estimated rate of descent to maintain a 3 degree glide path is also shown. These methods are demonstrated with the use of Microsoft Flight Simulator as a visual aid. This is one of the types of questions on the FAA Instrument Written exam. Note: In general, an ILS has a glide slope and a RNAV (GPS) approach has a glide path. These two words were used interchangeably on the test question. thecorporatepilotdad Youtube channel The Corporate Pilot Guys Podcast About The Author This video is produced by thecorporatepilotdad.

FAA Exam: When To Switch VOR Frequencies? By thecorporatepilotdad Here is the first in a series of videos that give explanations of the FAA instrument written exam questions. Each video will be short and cover just one topic. Where would the VOR changeover point be made flying from JNC to MANCA flying southbound on V187? When should VOR frequencies be switched? Whether playing Microsoft Flight Simulator or studying for the FAA Instrument Written exam, the subjects apply to both areas. This is a possible question that can be asked on the FAA instrument knowledge exam. What is a VOR changeover point (COP)? The three times a VOR changeover point occurs are discussed in the video. VOR changeover points occur when: A changeover symbol is shown on the map Halfway between two VORs in the absence of a COP symbol If there is a bend in the airway The video is illustrated with low enroute charts and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
