Q

What are the tow sources of buffet in the T-6?

A
  1. Turbulent airflow from the top of the wing hitting the empennage of the aircraft causing rudder and elevator to shake.
  2. The stick shaker, which activates about 5-10 knots above stall speed

21
Q

The recovery procedures for the overshooting (nose-low) final turn stall should be applied in precise order

A

False. They should be applied simultaneously

22
Q

What are the two types of final turn stall?

A

Undershooting (nose-high)

Overshooting (nose-low)

23
Q

An undershooting (nose-high) final turn stall is most likely to be encountered if the aircraft is flown too tight on downwind or there are strong overshooting winds.

A

False. That is an overshooting final turn stall

24
Q

The landing attitude stall demonstrates what can happen if you get too slow on final or flare too high
for landing

A

True

25
Q

What airspeed do you use for the setup to a closed pullup stall?

A

140 KIAS

26
Q

What is the principal concern in ELP stall training?

A

Maneuver realism and operational applicability

27
Q

What are the three types of ELP stalls?

A

Clean glide stall
High key to low key stall
Low key to runway stall

28
Q

How many feet of altitude should it take to recover from a clean glide stall?

A

300 feet

29
Q

What is entry airspeed for the clean glide stall exercise?

A

125 KIAS

30
Q

What should you lower the pitch to for high key stall recovery and what is the outside picture?

A

8* nose down

Prop arc on the horizon

31
Q

How many feet of altitude should it take to recover from a high key to low key stall?

A

800 feet

32
Q

To recover from the high key to low key ELP stall do what?

A

Maintain turn and lower the nose, to trade altitude for airspeed

33
Q

What should you lower the pitch to for low key to runway stall recovery and what is the outside picture?

A

8* nose down

Prop arc on the horizon

34
Q

How many feet of altitude should it take to recover from a low key to runway stall?

A

900 feet

35
Q

Initiate recovery from the low key to runway ELP stall when?

A

When approach to a stall is noted and/or at stick shaker activation (which ever is first)

36
Q

A full slip at 125 KIAS with power idle will give you what descent rate?

A

Excess of 2000 fpm

37
Q

What happens to stall speed in the out-of-balance condition (ie. a slip)?

A

It increases

38
Q

What happens if you reverse the controls following a slip?

A

You may depart controlled flight

39
Q

How much altitude should you have remaining when exiting a slip (in practice)

A

300 ft before establishing level flight

40
Q

To initiate an intentional slip from wings level flight do what?

A

lower one wing while applying opposite (top) rudder

41
Q

What is the pitch, airspeed and power setting for slow flight (flaps T/O or LDG)?

A
8* nose high (when configured)
80-85 KIAS (LDG flaps)
85-90 KIAS (T/O flaps)
45% torque
(15 AOA)
42
Q

What is the pitch, airspeed and power setting for slow flight no-flaps?

A

10* nose up
90-95 KIAS
40% torque

43
Q

How much rudder should you expect to use when practicing 15-20* bank, level turns in slow flight?

A

4 inches right rudder for right turn

1/2 inch right rudder for left turn

44
Q

During slow flight, quickly increasing power to MAX with no other control inputs will cause the nose
to track ______ and ______, causing airspeed to decrease and the aircraft to approach a stall.

A

up; left

45
Q

When flying several stalls in a series the Pre-Stalling/Spinning/Aerobatic checklist does have to be repeated after each stall.

A

False, it does not need to be repeated

Q

Stall AOA is ______ for a given airfoil while stall airspeed is ______.

A

A

49
Q

Intentionally slipping the aircraft can be used to do what?

Increase
