Answer 2

2,205 lbs to 2,534 lbs: 68 knots
2,535 lbs to 2,645 lbs: 73 knots
2,646 lbs and up: 76 knots

Question 3

Answer 3

2,205 lbs to 2,534 lbs: 68 knots
2,535 lbs to 2,645 lbs: 73 knots
2,646 lbs and up: 76 knots

Question 4

In a power off emergency landing, with flaps in the takeoff position, what speeds should you aim for?

Answer 4

2,205 lbs to 2,534 lbs: 66 knots
2,535 lbs to 2,645 lbs: 72 knots
2,646 lbs and up: 74 knots

Question 5

In a power off emergency landing, with flaps in the landing position, what speeds should you aim for?

Answer 5

2,205 lbs to 2,534 lbs: 63 knots
2,535 lbs to 2,645 lbs: 71 knots
2,646 lbs and up: 73 knots

Question 6

What is the risk from having a rough running engine?

Answer 6

Loss of the propeller

Question 7

What is the procedure for a rough running engine?

Answer 7

Fuel pump on
Switch fuel tanks
Check engine instruments
Check throttle
Check RPM lever
Enrichen the mixture
Open the alternate air source
Try the left or right magneto
Try various combinations of throttle/RPM/mixture settings

Question 8

What is the procedure for low oil pressure warnings?

Answer 8

Check the oil temperature
*If oil is in the green, continue to monitor as it may be a pressure sensor malfunction
*If oil temperature & cylinder head temp is rising, reduce engine power to minimum and prepare for a forced approach AND/OR shut off engine immediately and execute a forced approach

Question 9

What is the procedure for high oil pressure warnings?

Answer 9

Check oil temperature
*If oil temperature is normal, continue to monitor as it may be a pressure sensor malfunction
* Check cylinder head temperature and exhaust gas temperature levels. If neither one is high, continue to monitor as it may be a pressure sensor malfunction
*If cylinder head and exhaust gas temperatures are both high, check oil pressure. If oil pressure is low, follow the low oil pressure procedure. If oil pressure is normal, enrich the mixture and reduce power

Question 10

What is the procedure for high cylinder head temperatures?

Answer 10

Check the mixture setting, and enrichen mixture if necessary
Check oil temperature
*If oil temperature is also high, then check oil pressure
*If oil pressure is low, follow the low oil pressure procedure
* If oil pressure is normal, reduce power and land ASAP

Question 11

What is the procedure for High RPM?

Answer 11

Check throttle friction
Check oil pressure
*If there is a loss of oil pressure, the propeller governor will set a high RPM. Regulate the RPM with the throttle and follow the steps for loss of oil pressure
* If oil pressure is normal, pull the RPM lever back and listen for an associated drop in RPM. If the tach does not change in spite of an audible drop in RPM, service the aircraft. If there is no audible drop in RPM, regulate the RPM with throttle and understand you have a defective governor system.

Question 12

What is the procedure for a Loss of RPM

Answer 12

Fuel pump on
Check fuel selector
Check throttle friction
Propeller lever full forward and listen for a rise in RPM
*If there is no audible rise in RPM, it is probable that the governor system is defective. Regulate the RPM with the throttle and land at the nearest appropriate airfield, be prepared for an emergency landing
*If the indication does not change in spite of an audible rise in RPM, it is probable that the RPM indication is defective, and service the aircraft

Question 13

What is the procedure for an Engine Fire When Starting?

Answer 13

Fuel selector off
Cabin heat off
Apply brakes
Full throttle
Master switch off
Ignition switch off
Open canopy
Evacuate airplane

Question 14

What is the procedure for an Engine Fire During Takeoff?

Answer 14

If takeoff can still be abandoned:
Throttle to idle
Cabin heat off
Apply brakes
Follow engine fire when starting procedure

If takeoff can not be abandoned:
Cabin heat off
If altitude permits, land on the airfield
Fuel selector off
Fuel pump off
Master switch off
Emergency windows open if required

Question 15

What is the procedure for an Engine Fire In Flight

Answer 15

Cabin heat off
Select appropriate emergency landing field
Fuel selector off
Throttle max power
Fuel pump off
Master switch off

Question 16

What is the procedure for an Electrical Fire?

Answer 16
