    g. Request “standard briefing”
43
Q

In pattern, what are proper airspeeds and flap positions for downwind leg, base leg and final approach?

A

Downwind 90 kts (go to 10* flaps at 45* from abeam of landing threshold) base leg 80 kts (a/k/a 1.4 x V(so) which is 1.4 x stall speed in landing configuration unless too windy or too far from landing threshold) AND go to 20* flaps then lower flaps to full flaps and final approach 72 kts (a/k/a (a/k/a 1.3 x V(so) which is 1.3 x stall speed in landing configuration)

44
Q

Runways sloping up or down can cause illusions. What is the illusion that can occur if a runway slopes down?

A

The illusion is that the airplane looks low – and the danger, therefore, is of landing long (because you are actually higher off the ground than the airplane looks).

45
Q

Runways sloping up or down can cause illusions. What is the illusion that can occur if a runway slopes up?

A

If the runway slopes up, then airplane looks higher off the ground than it truly is – and the danger is then setting the airplane down short of intended touchdown point.

46
Q

Runway widths can cause illusions. What is the illusion that can occur if a runway is narrower than you are accustomed to?

A

A narrow runway can make it feel as though the airplane is high (in other words, the “smaller” looking runway makes pilot think it is farther away (down). Danger, then, is landing short.

47
Q

Runway widths can cause illusions. What is the illusion that can occur if a runway is wider than you are accustomed to?

A

A wider-than-normal runway may give the pilot the feeling that he/she is closer to the runway (lower altitude) than reality–and the airplane will look LOWER than it really is. Danger then is landing long.

48
Q

What is the checklist for checking whether magnetos are working?

A
  1. Set RPM at 1800
  2. Turn magnetos from “both” to “R” two clicks over) and RPM should drop no more than 150.
  3. Turn back to “both”, then to “L” (nearest click over)–shld be less than 150 drop in rpm.
  4. AND R and L less than 50 RPM from each other
49
Q

In an airplane engine with carburetor, if you suffer a loss of RPM, what is possible cause and what step(s) should be taken?

A

Could be indication of carburetor ice – remedy by turning on carb heat and getting to warmer or drier air. (favorable conditions for carb ice are high humidity and temps below 70 degrees F.

50
Q

How do you check magnetos at end of a flight, to make certain the magnetos are grounded, before shutting off the engine?

A
  1. Set throttle at idle
  2. Briefly turn ignition off, then back to “Both”
  3. Engine should quit momentarily, othewise, the p-leads may be broken or disconnected and you may have a “hot prop”!
  4. When engine is off, put keys on dash for all to see! (Engine in any position but “off” can fire!)
51
Q

On the bottom of the Cessna 172, the pre-flight inspection requires the pilot to check what three things under the engine area?

A

Two fuel drain valves and one fuel strainer.

52
Q

A Cessna 172 Skyhawk should never have fewer than ___ quarts of oil on short flights nor fewer than ___ quarts on long flights. Fill in the two blanks.

A

5 quarts and 8 quarts of oil

53
Q

At any time, if a circuit breaker has popped out, what may the pilot do?

A

Pilot may reset a popped circuit breaker one time if there is no evid of smell or smoke.

54
Q

Regarding environmental systems, if you suspect exhaust manifold leak (carbon monoxide), what should you do?

A

Turn off the heat and get fresh air into the cabin and THEN LAND!

55
Q

What does SRM (Single-Pilot Resource Management) consist of?

A
  1. Task management
  2. Automated management
  3. Risk management (RM) and Aeronautical decision-making (ADM)
  4. Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) awareness
56
Q

What is ADM (Aeronautical Decision Making)?

A

A systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in responding to circumstances.

57
Q

What are the four primary elements (it is an acronym) of ADM?

A 
PAVE:
Pilot
Aircraft
Environment
External pressures
58
Q

What FAA Advisory Circular number addresses ADM?

A

FAA Adv Circ 60-22

59
Q

As a part of SRM, what changes must be identified by the pilot that show the pilot’s “situational awareness” (it is an acronym)

A 
CARE:
Consequences
Alternatives
Reality
External pressures

Order of priorities: Aviate, Navigate, Commun

60
Q

What FAA Advisory Circular addresses CFIT (Controlled flight into terrain) awareness?

A

FAA Adv Cir 61-134 (or is it “34”?)

61
Q

As part of SRM, there are 5 P’s that reflect a practical application of SRM. What are the 5 P’s?

A 
5 P's:
Plan
Plane
Pilot
Passengers
Programming
62
Q

As part of SRM, there is an acronym IM SAFE. What does this stand for?

A 
IM SAFE:
Illness
Medication
Stress
Alcohol
Fatigue and food
Emotion
63
Q

What are the required equipment items for VFR flight?

A

TOMATO FLAMES: Tachometer/Oil Temp gauge/Magnetic Compass/Altimeter/Temp Gauge (liquid-cooled eng only)/Oil Press Gauge/Fuel Indicator each tank/Landing Gear Position Indicator/Airspeed Indicator/Manifold Press Gauge/ELT (not if training w/in 50 NM of airport)/Safety Belt-Harness/ Strobe Light (after 1996) “FLAPS” AT NIGHT: Fuses (3 ea)/Landing Light (only for hire)/Anti-Collision Light (strobe)/ Position Lights (Nav)/ Source of Electricity (Alt & Batt)

64
Q

Regarding aviation physiology, at what altitude should supplemental oxygen be available (verify if “available” is correct standard, or should it say “used”)?

A

Above 10,000 MSL during day and above 5,000 MSL at night.

65
Q

How do you establish a “slide slip” and when might you use it?

A

Used to correct for wind, such as in landing in a crosswind. Put airplane into bank agst wind, but use opposite rudder to keep airplane oriented down the runway for a straight landing.

66
Q

What is a “forward slip” and how is it different than a “slide slip”?

A

A forward slip is presumably only used if you don’t want to use, or don’t have, flaps to establish some drag and, thus, reduce some elevation.

67
Q

What color are runway markings and what color are markings of taxiways and non-runway surfaces?

A

Runway markings – white

Taxiway and other – yellow

68
Q

What are the three “types” of runways, for purposes of landing an airplane?

A
  1. no instrument approach (visual runways)
  2. non-precision instrument approach runways
  3. precision instrument approach runways.
