Possible Subversive
Being lost is not an emergency in itself, it could develop into one though.
Wow! Thanks everyone for your insightful answers....now I am more confused than ever.:buck:
Seriously though: thanks for the answers.
Now: another question or two.....
1. Even on wikipedia I cant find the meanings of the following (and it's not in my "cleared for takeoff" student book either):
Vmc, Vsse, Vxse, Vyse, VLo, VLe
2. Not related to my open-book test, but is there a good website regarding density altitude calculations and such?
Well, you are a lawyer, isn't that assumed
I can imagine many scenarios where a solo student would have to divert, but it would not be an emergency. Let me give you a scenario and ask you a question. You have endorsed a student for a solo cross country, when he approaches his destination airport he learns that an airplane before him has landed gear-up and closed the runway, so he diverts to an airport that is not on his cross country endorsement.
Now my question, can he take-off to either continue on his cross country or return home without another endorsement, or is he "grounded" until you or another instructor gives him another cross country endorsement?
I'm sure you have a FAR-AIM republication among your materials. Look at FAR 1.21. Even on wikipedia I cant find the meanings of the following (and it's not in my "cleared for takeoff" student book either):
Vmc, Vsse, Vxse, Vyse, VLo, VLe
Vlo is maximum landing gear operating speed. Or, the speed you can fly around with the landing gear out. Vle is landing gear extension speed. Or, the maximum speed you can extend the landing gear.
Here's an online density alt. calculator:

Here's an E6B emulator:

You should be comfortable calculating things on the E6B. You can get DA from the E6B, so bust out the manual and see what you can do with it.
Co-Pilot. It's the only reasons I ever have regrets about moving to Windows Mobile.T
2. Anyone know of FREE palm pilot applications for flying?
