What are the required reports for equipment malfunctions under IFR in controlled airspace?
Front
Any loss of navigation equipment ex. VOR
GPS anomalies
Complete or partial loss of ILS receiver
impairment of air/ground communications

What are two alternate static ports? What will the instruments do when either alternate is used?
Front

Back
explain Rigidity in space
Front
The gyro will remain rigid in space while spinning at a high rate. This allows the airwcraft to move around gyro without changing the gyros position in space.
Back
When is it required to check RAIM?
Front
GPS RAIM should be confirmed for the intended route using current GPS satellite information.

"Personal Minimums" How can they help control risk?
Front
Know the difference between what is "legal" and what is "smart" and "safe".
The pilot can set personal minimums based off of proficiency and experience.
