What is the minimum airspeed we can fly?

What is Vs, Vs0 and Vs1?

What factor increases the takeoff distance? (4H - High/Humid/Hot/Heavy)

Does 4H increase landing distance as well? (Yes, because when we’re high, TAS =/= IAS (TAS is higher
than IAS at high altitude, so the landing distance required increase)
Airspeed Relation - IAS/CAS/TAS
Altitude Relation - IA / PA / DA

Weight and Balance

What is RCO? FISE?

Radio comms failure at Lytton - what can I do?

Where will you divert for fuel? Medical? Minor repair?

What are SIGMET and AIRMET? example?

Ceiling in METAR/TAF is in AGL or ASL?

Wind in METAR/TAR is in True or magnetic?


How often is the GFA issued?

Any important NOTAMs?

If my personal minima is 10000’ ceiling in ASL, what would the Metar indicate in CYKA?
