Knowledge Requirements for Atmospheric Pressure

In plain language

To operate in Level 1 complex operations, you must understand how high and low pressure systems, convergence, and divergence move air, and how temperature affects pressure changes with altitude and overall air density and aircraft performance.

Requirement as structured

The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to explain air movement from pressure systems, temperature effects on pressure change with height, and temperature effects on air density, performance, and efficiency.

Original regulatory text

The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Explain the movement of air resulting from high and low pressure systems, convergence, and divergence. - Explain the effects of temperature on the rate of change in pressure with height. - Explain the effect of temperature on air density, performance, and efficiency.
