What is your minimum and maximum altitude to perform a controllability check?
8000 ft AGL and 20,000 ft MSL
True or False? Minimum controllable airspeed is the airspeed at which full-scale deflection of the control surfaces are required to maintain controlled flight.
false
If performing an emergency descent after structural damage, what is the max airspeed you can descend at?
Limit max airspeed to the current airspeed or as appropriate.
What is the maximum airspeed of the T1?
330 KIAS or .78 IMN
if flap damage is known or suspected, what are your initial actions and what checklist should you accomplish?
Do not move the flaps/maintain current setting. Accomplish a controllability check
illumination of the Flap asymmetry light indicates what?
A difference of more than 7 degrees between the main flap
The flap indicator shows the position of what flap?
the right main flap only
Why should the FLAP circuit breaker be pulled in the event of a flap system malfunction?
This removes power from the flap handle and prevents further flap actuation due to air loads or switch proximity.
If your flap indicator reads 17 degrees accompanied by the FLAP ASYM annunciator and you have a rolling tendency to the left, which flap is extended the most? How many degrees is the other flap extended to, approximately?
A roll to the left indicates that the right flap is extended to most. The FLAP ASYM indicates that there is a difference of 7 degrees between flaps, so the left flap is extended approximately 10 degrees.
According to the IFG, whom do you coordinate with to get a chase ship?
SOF or ATC
What should you do if you find yourself in a spin?
Simultaneously reduce power to IDLE, apply full rudder opposite spin direction, forward elevator control and neutral roll control. Apply nose down trim and retract the speed brakes if they are extended.
Should you ever test for full rudder deflection during the flight control check in chocks? Why or why not?
No, it could be damaging to the linkage
Where can I find probable spin characteristics, or more info on spin recoveries in the T-1A?
Section VI of the T.O. 1T-1A-3 (extra: spin dependent on CG location. more likely to spin with an aft CG. in a spin the indicated airspeed is unreliable)
Why do we not operate the defog blower and/or windshield heat systems at the same time as the electric heat systems while using external power?
Operating these systems in combinations while using the GPU causes an excessive amperage pull which could result in overheating the ground plug and receptacle
Below what temperature is a GPU required for engine start?
Below 5°F (-15°C)
What engine start and takeoff considerations should be applied when encountering visible moisture with an OAT/SAT of 5*F?
Engine start should be delayed until takeoff can be accomplished within 10 minutes to keep ice build up to a minimum. If ground time exceeds 10 minutes, slowly advance the throttles to a power setting as high as practical (dependent on conditions) for 10 seconds with engine anti-ice on. The procedure must be repeated at each 10-minute interval. If RCR precludes advancing engines to a minimum of 70+/-1% N2, takeoff should not be attempted.
True or False…During cold weather starts, be extra vigilant to not allow the oil pressure to exceed maximum limits?
False. Oil pressure may temporarily exceed maximum limits until the oil temperature warms sufficiently to give normal indications.
What considerations need to be taken in regards to checking flight controls on the ground during cold weather ops?
Check control surfaces and trim tabs for proper operation. Operate all control surfaces several times to determine if operation is normal and not hampered by ice or cable tension due to extreme low temperatures. Once engines are started, cycle flaps and speed brakes to circulate warm fluid throughout the system and check reaction and operation. Due to lack of airflow, speed brakes might not fully retract.
What considerations should crews take if takeoff is made on snow or slush covered runways when temperatures are at or near freezing?
Cycle the landing gear at a safe altitude (and airspeed) to shed any ice accumulation.
At what temperatures and altitudes is icing most likely to occur on aircraft surfaces during flight?
Most severe icing occurs in visible moisture or precipitation at outside temperatures between 0 oC and -10 oC. Dangerous icing may be encountered at temperatures below -10 oC. The probability is increased at altitudes below 20,000 ft.
