REVIEW practice test scores - WHAT DID YOU LEARN?
                 REMEMBER: Consistently doing assigned practice tests is the KEY to passing the final FAA Written Exam!

INTRO:  Aerodynamics Quiz

BIG TOPIC #1: Altimeters & Settings
                            -- Standard Day
                            -- Standard Lapse Rate
                            -- Altimeter changes - 29.92 to 30.17

      1. Indicated, True, Absolute, Pressure & Density Altitudes (learn to use this chart)
        1. Remember:  INDICATED A/S is the ONLY a/s the aircraft knows and understands; but DENSITY ALTITUDE is the ONLY altitude it knows!

BIG TOPIC #2:  Altitudes
                            -- 5 Types of Altitudes
                            -- MSL vs AGL
                            -- Density is the ONLY altitude the aircraft understands
                            -- Density & Pressure Altitude Chart
                            -- Review distinction between density (good performance) and density altitude (poor performance)

Little Topic: Load Factors = "G" force (Fig. 73)

Miscellany:  Cruising altitudes for built-in separation:  "East is least, West is best;" VFR add 500'

HOMEWORK:  Next set of practice questions: H300, H301, H302, H303, H540, H911, H917, H919, H921 - 20 q's
                                                                                                         -- take it over and over until you achieve 100%; then send a screenshot to Colonel for credit
