Question 21

How an engine produces power

Answer 21

4 stroke -
Intake - draws fuel and air in
Compression - piston compresses air fuel mixture
Power - electric spark ignites fuel air mixture expanding to push piston up
Exhaust - piston compresses to expel remnants

Question 27

Flap Operating Range Cessna 172

Answer 27

33-85 KIAS

Question 28

Left Turning Tendencies

Answer 28

All four left-turning factors are greatest when the airplane is at full power and low airspeed. Torque Reaction Slip Stream Precession P Factor

Question 29

Torque Reaction

Answer 29

The torque of the engine causes a left rolling tendency. For each and every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As viewed from the cockpit, the crankshaft on an American-made engine rotates clockwise. The opposite reaction is for the airframe to roll to the left.

Question 30

Slip Stream

Answer 30

The propeller propels air currents around and about the airframe in a clockwise direction (as viewed from the rear). The airstream strikes the left side of the vertical stabilizer and rudder, yawing the nose of the airplane to the left.

Question 31

Precession

Answer 31

Gyroscopic precession from the rotation of the crankshaft and propeller causes the airplane to yaw to the left.

Question 32

P Factor

Answer 32

In nose high attitudes, a left-turning tendency results from the fact that the descending propeller blade takes a bigger bite out of the air than does the ascending blade, which is on the left. This P-factor adds to the left-turning tendency when the airplane is in a nose-high attitude.

Question 33

Answer 33

Altitude presented on altimeter adjusted for atmospheric pressure

Question 34

Question 44

Arrival for runways lower than 20

Answer 44

1) Report over or West of O'Shaughnessy Dam: advise Tower of intentions; either full stop or touch-and-go (closed traffic). 2) Tower will instruct OSU traffic to enter left base for 09L or 09R, as appropriate. 3) Proceed South from O’Shaughnessy so as to remain over or West of the Scioto River.

Question 45

Arrival for runways higher than 20

Answer 45

1. Report over or near the town of Powell (Race Track): advise Tower of intentions; either full stop or touch-and-go (closed traffic). 2. Tower will instruct OSU traffic to enter right base for 27L or 27R, as appropriate. 3. Proceed Southeast from Powell so as to fly right base over the Olentangy Freeway (Route 315). 4. Tower will sequence and clear traffic for 27L or 27R. 5. Runways 32 and 23 may also be used as part of this arrival procedure depending on wind and traffic
