Q

what holds the gear in the down positions

A

springs assist in gear extension and in locking the gear in the down position.

once down and locked, J hooks engage, springs will maintain force on each hook to keep it locked until it is released by hydraulic pressure

25
what is the purpose of the anti-servo tab and what does it do
provided longitudinal stability and trim. it moves in the same direction as the stabilator but with increases travel
26
what is the purpose of flaps
increase chord line which increases the AoA- creating more life and also more drag. increase rate of descent without increasing airspeed
27
what is the flap settings for takeoff
0 to 25 degrees
28
what is the ground restriction for the use of pitot heat
3 minutes
29
what is the purpose of the scupper drains
its around the filter neck of the fuel tank. it is used to collect spillage of fuel during servicing. the fuel is drained to the ground through a drain line rather than flowing into the aircraft structure
30
when can you not cross feed the engines
on takeoff shutdown of engine can't Xfeed at the same time
31
why should you check the fuel flow when you turn off the fuel pump
to ensure that the engine is still receiving fuel to operate within limits
32
what is the voltage of the electrical system alternator
28 volts
33
what is the load meter
it shows the total percentage of the load that is placed on the electrical system
34
what is the ammeter
it shows the positive and negative change and if the alternator is supplying enough electricity
35
what is the purpose of the busbar
convenient place to attach stations for electrical power distribution
36
what are the different buses
Hot battery bus Essential bus Lighting bus Emergency bus Non-essential bus Avionics bus
37
what is on the emergency bus
PFD Avionics, AHRS, ADC Nav. 1 Comm 1 Audio Panel Engine Indications Standby instruments
38
where do you plug in the external power source
aft right of the aircraft
39
how many volts can you hook up with external power
24 to 28 volts of direct current *you must have all electrical equipment off before applying or removing the external power
40
how much fuel does the heater use and from which tank
0.5GPH when turned on which gets pulled from the left engine
41
How do you turn the heater on
turn cabin heat switch on slide air intake open slide temp knob to desired temp
42
how do you turn the heater off
on the ground: switch cabin heat to fan for 2 min. turn off then slide air intake off air: switch cabin heat to off, leave air intake open for 15 seconds and then slide off
43
what is the purpose of the unfeathering accumulator
store engine oil under pressure form the governors, which is released back to the governors for propeller unfeathering when the propeller lever is moved out of the feathering position
44
how long does it take to feather
10 to 17 seconds
45
how long does it take to unfeather
8 to 12 seconds
46
what is the purpose of the anti-feathering pins
to prevent the propellers from feathering on shutdown, to prevent over stress on the starter when starting ** operated by centrifugal force
47
what is Vyse and what is that number
best rate of climb with one engine operating **88Kias
48
what is the purpose of cowl flaps
regulates cooling air for the engines
49
what is the proper main gear strut length
2.60in +/-0.25in
50
what is the proper nose gear strut length
2.70in +/-0.25in
51
how many times can you engage the starter if the engines does not start
6 times starter cranking periods are limited to 10seconds with a 20second rest between each attempt. must wait 30 min after the 6th attempt
52
what do you need to do when you operate alternate static source
storm window and vents must be closed, heater and defroster must be on you are using cabin pressure instead of outside pressure. the altimeter error should be less than 50 ft
53
below what RPM will the props not feather and why
below 950 RPM due to the anti feathering pins will lock (engage)
54
at what fuel quantity will indicate a CAS warming and caution
CAS caution : less than 10 gallons in either tank CAS warning : less than 5 gallons in either tank
55
what quantity of fuel actives the fuel EIS warning and caution indications
EIS warning (instrument turns red) fuel below 10g total EIS caution (instruments turn amber) fuel below 20g total
56
How many times can you reset a circuit breaker and how long should it wait to reset it
1 time and wait at least one minute before the reset the breaker
57
after a dual alternator failure how long will your standby instruments last
aspen standby: 1 1/2 hours 30 min on primary battery 30 min on emergency battery 30 min on internal battery 442 and 443 Garmin G5: 5 1/2 hours on main battery 30 min on emergency battery 4hr on internal battery 445 and 446

com1 nav1 auto pilot gps1 traffic
59
what do you lose if you have a MFD failure
com2 nav2 gps2
60
what happens when you have a PFD failure
the PFD does not automatically revert onto the MFD. you have to manually hit the red button
61
what happens if you have a MFD failure
the MFD will automatically switch to revisionary mode onto the PFD
62
when and how should you lean the mixture during cruise flight
recommended above 5000ft best economy mixture: move mixture control aft until peak EGT until EGT is 125F rick of peak value
63
what is the maximum crosswind component
17kt
64
what is the wing design of the Seminole
sime-tapered design
65
is alternate air filtered
no. it is air that is heated and usually used to de-ice induction icing in the fuel injection servo inlet
66
how do you tell if the ADC has failed
there will be a red X over the ALT, airspeed and the VSI
67
how do you tell if the AHRS has failed
a red X will be displayed over the attitude and heading indicators
68
what altert do you get for warning caution advisory
warning: flashing red, repeating triple chime caution: flashing amber non-repeating double chime advisory: non-repeating single chime
69
how do you know if a database has expired
it will be displayed in yellow on the FD on start up
70
what maintenance must you do to keep your GPS usable
obstacles is 56 days navigation is 28 days
71
can you fly IFR is any of the standby instruments are not working
no IFR is prohibited
72
what type of landing gear does the Seminole have
hydraulically operated fully retractable tricycle landing gear
73
what stops the hydraulic pump after the gear is fully up or down
down limit switches stop the flow of current to the motor of the hydraulic pump when extended stops when the PSI reaches 1800PSI +/-100PSI
74
what determines if the landing gear is in the down position
gives three green circles
75
what is our battery rated at
24volts 13.6amps
76
what makes up the alternator
1. pully connected to the fly wheel which is connected to the crankshaft 2. front housing compartment 3.bearing & retainer 4. rotor assembly (big spinning magnet that crates AC current) 5. ring of coils 6. diode and plate assembly (diode lets electrons flow in one direction (only positive current) 7. rectifier (converts AC to DC) 8. voltage regulator (28 volts, shuts off at 32 volts) 9. back housing compartment 10. another bearing
