Performance: 75kts
What is the Passenger safety brief?
SECS
HARRT check
Height, set the altimeter to desired height (above 2500ft 3nm outside ymmb, below 2500ft within 3nm of ymmb)
ATIS, 120.9 and listen
Radio, set radio to frequency needed
Runway, CDI helps with inbound/outbound, set CDI in direction of runway accounting for tge error (runway 17L means you would set 164 °)
Transponder, click XPDR–> VFR to set squawk code to 1200 for glass g airspace or 3000 for class D
Before landing checks
B- check brakes U- undercarriage O- oil temp and pressure is green M- mixture is rich, magnetos on both F- fuel pump is off, fuel quantity, fuel selector on both A- autopilot is disengaged H- hatchess and harnesses
Line up checks
M- mixture is rich and magnetos on both
F- fuel selector on both, fuel pump is off
L- lights (strobe lights when entering, taxi lights when taking off)
I- ice protection (pitot heat) as required
T- transponder code is set
What are the VMC conditions in class D airspace?
Flight visibility at least 5000m
Horizontal distance from cloud at least 600m
Vertical distance from cloud is minimum 1000ft when above or 500 ft when below it
What components maoe up a usual aerodrome?
Apron (parking bays, maintenance area) Manouvering area (includes taxiway, runway)
The locations of these depend on the aerodrome:
Windsocks
Aerodrome reference point
Helipad
What is the go around procedure at class D aerodromes with parallel runways?
- Commence climb to circuit altitude
- Position the aircraft on the actice side and parallel to the runway (eg. On the left of runway 35L)
- Maintain seperation from other aircraft
- Follow ATC instructions or re enter the circuit from upwind
What do you do when detonation is occuring at or after the spark of engine.
Richen mixture to allow fuel to cool cylinder walls through evaporation
Throttle back to reduce cylinder pressure
Increase airspeed to help cool engine
What do you do when theres high oil temps in aircraft?
You have to cool down the plane
Lower nose of plane
Reduce power
Open cowl flaps
HHELLL Check before entering a practise stall?
H- height sufficient to recover by 3000ft H- hatchess and harnesses secure E- engine FMOST checks. F- fuel selector BOTH O- check oil T's and P's S- switches, magnetos on BOTH T- throttle friction loosened L- location. In a suitable area not in built up areas. L- loose articles secure L- lookout (360 degree turn)
Now you can begin climbing to get in a stall!
