CFI Pop Quiz #314 - parachute?

[Chris Burgess]

When must each occupant of an aircraft wear an approved parachute?

A) When flying over water beyond gliding distance to the shore.
B) When practicing spins or other flight maneuvers for any certificate or rating.
C) When an intentional maneuver that exceeds 30 degrees noseup or nosedown relative to the horizon is made.

[mark treidel]

'C' is correct. Reg. #91.307(c)(2). hang onto your straps!! Spins & maneuvers are exempt for testing purposes. As for over the water - as far as I'm concerned; you're on your own, good night!!

Or D; whenever you fly anythn besides a gyro.

[JByrd]

Ceeeee.

Studied that tonight in the FAR's portion of the private pilot ground school.

Si...Ceeeee....(C)

[Chris Burgess]

bir"D"y, I wish!!! but "C" is the correct answer. It says "aircraft", yep, that's us, and 91.307 says "aircraft" also. It is referring to carrying a passenger. Seems a little funny since some gyro's are almost 30 degrees nose down in an autorotation.

When must each occupant of an aircraft wear an approved parachute? (C) When an intentional maneuver that exceeds 30 degrees noseup or nosedown relative to the horizon is made. Reference 14 CFR FAR 91.307

So your sayn every time i fly i'm supposed to have a chute Chris???
The machine's in a 90* bank with a 75* nose down att when ya do'n a low level 180*power off landing. Maybe i should be carry'n two chutes, just to be sure.:rolleyes: :D

In Oz Birdy, any time we exceed 60 degrees of bank or change the pitch attitude by 60 degrees or more from the horizon we are operating illegally I'm afraid.

Paul you have got to be joking right??? christ that would mean that most of us would be illegal a couple of minutes after leaving the ground, dont think i should show any one, some of my picys then, hmmmm, with you on this one Birdy:rolleyes:

[Aussie_Paul]

I quote the ASRA secretary in Oz. Read the &*^%$ Operations Manual you guys.

I am surprised at how many people in Oz do not know the rules that we are supposed to abide by.:o

Aussie Paul.:)

Not joking Bones. See previous post!!!!

[birdy]

You seem to forget Paul, one fundamental difference between you and us, we make the rules.:D
The only time we gota refer to the opps is if we go over n 500' , over our boundry or carry a passenger .
And i'v never set meself a limit on bank or dive angles....................yet.:rolleyes:

[bones]

Ok then i agree with the regs then, (in case ASRA guys are reading).....
But between me and you, i lost count of the times i had to look half way along my rotors to see the ground, hard to see through them when they are loaded up....:D
