Day Currency Requirements (General Currency)

It requires that within the preceding 90 days, a pilot must have conducted at least three takeoffs and landings in the same category, class, and type of aircraft they intend to operate as the sole manipulator of the flight.

An APproach with Vertical guidance (APV) is, simply put, the vertical element of a RNP approach. The only navigation sensor supporting RNP APCH is GNSS. This will either be GPS with ABAS or GPS with SBAS.

14 CFR § 91.103, Preflight Action directs pilots to become familiar with all available information concerning a planned flight prior to departure, including NOTAMs. Pilots may change their flight plan based on available information. Current NOTAM information may affect: Aerodromes.

A Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) is a radio frequency pilots use to communicate with each other. When an airport doesn't have a control tower (or the tower isn't open), pilots will use a CTAF frequency. So, pilots will talk to each other instead of talking to a person on the ground who provides instructions.

Aviation gurus, from flight instructors to designated pilot examiners to flight school publications, constantly recite the 50/70 Rule as follows: “If you haven't reached 70% of your takeoff speed by the time you've reached 50% of the length of the runway, you should abort your takeoff." That's verbatim from Boldmethod, ...

In aviation, the rule of three or "3:1 rule of descent" is a rule of thumb that 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) of travel should be allowed for every 1,000 feet (300 m) of descent. For example, a descent from flight level 350 would require approximately 35x3=105 nautical miles.

Pilots may use WAAS-enabled GPS systems for LNAV, but WAAS is not mandatory. WAAS equipment is mandatory for LP.

Localiser Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) is defined as an Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV); that is, an instrument approach based on a navigation system that is not required to meet the precision approach standards of ICAO Annex 10 but that provides both course and glidepath deviation information.

LNAV/VNAV: Lateral Navigation/Vertical Navigation

Unlike LPV approaches, LNAV/VNAV approaches don't have increasing angular guidance as you approach the runway.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, no person may operate a civil aircraft without complying with the operating limitations specified in the approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, markings, and placards, or as otherwise prescribed by the certificating authority of the country of registry.

§ 91.103 Preflight action. (2) For civil aircraft other than those specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, other reliable information appropriate to the aircraft, relating to aircraft performance under expected values of airport elevation and runway slope, aircraft gross weight, and wind and temperature.

Automatic Terminal Information Service Procedures.

the UNICOM frequency is unique, equals to 122.800MHz and is used throughout the world. English language should be used for all messages.

Airport Weather Advisor™ AWOS III. The AWA™ AWOS III (AWOS 3) is an FAA Certified, ICAO/WMO Compliant Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) for Meteorological Reporting at Any Size Airport.

§ 121.439 Pilot qualification: Recent experience. (a) No certificate holder may use any person nor may any person serve as a required pilot flightcrew member, unless within the preceding 90 days, that person has made at least three takeo ffs and landings in the type airplane in which that person is to serve.

Okay, the rules say that three takeoffs and landings in 90 days are sufficient for a pilot to be technically current in an airplane. The landings do not need to be made to a full stop-unless in a conventionally configured airplane-so touch and goes are acceptable to meet the rule.

Simply put, the 90/10 Rule asks that you set emotions aside and let the facts inform your choice. Be honest with yourself as you look critically at your wants versus your needs. Assess what is required to fly the missions you execute most often, and these are your must-haves regardless of the purchase.

FAA regulations require a fully loaded (every seat occupied) commercial airliner to be able to evacuate all passengers in 90 seconds in an emergency, with 50 percent of the emergency exits inoperable or obstructed. This rule dictates how many emergency exits an airliner will have.
