Across
  1. 6. “critical surfaces” includes wings, control surfaces, rotors, ___ horizontal and vertical stabilizers
  2. 9. the main cause of this event is holding an airplane on the ground on the takeoff roll, by using forward control pressure to build up faster than normal groundspeed before rotating
  3. 11. ground effect is caused by the reduction of ___ drag when flying slowly, near the surface of the earth
  4. 12. there are 6080 feet in a ___ mile
  5. 13. vortices move laterally at about ___ knots
  6. 14. a hazard with parallel runways is a ______; laterally moving vortices may position themselves over a parallel runway and cause hazards
  7. 16. when fueling, consider that nylon and other synthetic clothing are susceptible to the generation of __ electricity
  8. 17. proficient use of performance charts requires lots of _____ with the charts
  9. 19. an aircraft approaching into a 20 kt headwind that reduces to no wind, experiences an initial decrease in speed due to ______; it will be a brief lag before the aircraft reacts to the change in wind
  10. 20. we know that air density decreases with temperature; it also decreases with _____
  11. 22. this is the term for an aircraft that bounces back and forth between main wheels and nose wheel
  12. 26. air density ____ with temperature
  13. 30. in a crosswind condition, the lateral movement of the ____ vortex will be decreased
  14. 33. at high elevation airports, an airplane needs a _____ runway to take off safely
  15. 34. this is the term used for impeding formation of ice, snow, and frost; it is applied prior to flight
  16. 35. high level of water vapour (and therefore less available air for combustion) results in a ___ mixture
  17. 36. this is the term for when an aircraft gains excessive height in the flare, and may also be approaching a stall
  18. 38. the number of minimum minutes that vortices generally persist
  19. 40. good tire ___ is important to reduce hydroplaning likelihood
  20. 42. when a tire loses contact with the pavement as a result of deep water, it is as a result of ____ hydroplaning
Down
  1. 1. if dangerous terrain near an airport requires a tailwind component landing, remember the illusion of a ___ than normal landing, and reference the airspeed indicator
  2. 2. “critical surfaces” in the case of a rear mounted engine, includes the ___ surface of the fuselage
  3. 3. at high elevation airports, an airplane’s rate of climb will be ___ than at a lower elevation
  4. 4. charts are giving _____ case scenario numbers; most aircraft are not in perfect condition and therefore the information is not entirely accurate
  5. 5. a tailwind departure will decrease the ____ of climb after takeoff
  6. 7. who is responsible for wake turbulence avoidance?
  7. 8. this altitude is defined as pressure altitude corrected for temperature
  8. 10. this is the condition in which a tire is moving on a wet surface
  9. 15. this is the term used for removing ice on an aircraft with a cold solution that has a very low freezing point
  10. 18. turbulent air over an ice contaminated wing means it will stall at a ___ angle of attack
  11. 21. this is the term for when an aircraft makes contact with the runway, but then is propelled back in the air
  12. 23. the best corrective action for a difficult balloon or bounce on landing is to ______
  13. 24. at high elevation airports, the true airspeed is faster, resulting in _____ ground speed
  14. 25. when referring to performance charts, remember that factors such as underinflated tires, dragging brakes, dirt on wings will have a ____ effect on performance
  15. 27. this specialty type of landing is not advisable if concerns of hydroplaning exist, as it is desirable to lower the nose as soon as possible after touchdown in this case
  16. 28. this is not a major factor in computing density altitude, but it does effect engine power (high level of water vapour reduces amount of air available for combustion)
  17. 29. when landing after an aircraft that causes wake turbulence, your approach path should be ___ than the other aircraft
  18. 31. this lighting system can have 2 or 3 bars, to indicate the correct approach path
  19. 32. at high elevation airports, the landing ____ is longer as a result of a higher ground speed
  20. 37. a general rule about collision avoidance is to turn on the ___ light below 2000’ AGL in terminal areas and aerodromes
  21. 39. do not fill fuel tanks all the way to the top, if the fuel is ___ and the hangar is warm, due to expansion of fuel
  22. 41. if an aircraft is not grounded during fueling, static electricity may cause a danger of _____, if a spark is generated
