Operations Flashcards
What are the downwind checks for a normal approach and landing?
Carburettor heat on
Brakes checked for pressure and park brake OFF
Undercarriage down and locked
Mixture RICH
Fuel selection, contents and pressure and pump ON
Hatches and harness secure
On a normal approach base leg, what is the flap setting and when?
25 degrees (2 stages) when speed below 100kt
What is the target airspeed for a normal approach on base?
80kt
What is the target airspeed during a normal approach on final?
70kt, may reduce to 65kt over boundary
During a normal approach when do you deploy full flap?
At 70kt on base
What is the best rate of climb with no flaps?
79kt full power
What is the airpeed for a normal and cruise climb (2500RPM)?
80kt and 90kt
What are the settings for obstacle clearing climb?
Full throttle, two stages of flap 52kt
What is power setting and speed for a normal circuit?
2300RPM, 100kt
What are the checks to perform before attempting a stall?
Height - sufficient to recover by 3000ft above terrain
Area - not built up
Security- no loose articles in cabin and harnesses secure
Engine- fuel selection, contents, mixture RICH, carby heat, engine instruments
Look out- 360 check and check all clear through 90 degrees after stall
What are stall speeds with no and full flap?
49kt and 43kt
What is the climb speed for a short field takeoff?
52kt
What is the first thing to do on engine failure?
Carby ht ON
Maintain height
Fuel- pump ON, mixture rich, change tank
Trim for 70kt
During a forced landing, and after CMFT and field selection, what is the next thing to do?
Fuel- check tank selection, contents, Pressure, Pump ON, Primer pump locked
Mixture- RICH, carby heat ON
Oil- Temp, Pressure
Switches- check magnetos, return to BOTH
Throttle- check through range (during practice repeat at 500ft intervals)
What is the last set of tests to perform during a forced landing?
Brakes-check for pressure and OFF
Unlock door, both catches
Switches- all OFF
Harness- secure, passengers braced
What are speed, power and flap settings for a precautionary search?
What else should be set?
70kt, 2000RPM, 2 stages Pump ON (and check fuel selection and contents)
Describe a short field landing
Commence with a normal full flap approach, at 200-300ft gradually reduce speed to 55kt using elevator, use elevator and power for a brief holdoff. On ground, cut power, lower nose wheel and apply brakes
What is the maximum crosswind component for landing?
17kt
If the engine fails just after takeoff, what is the first thing to do?
Lower the nose
What do you do with flaps if the engine fails just after takeoff?
Never raise flaps! Use flaps as required for emergency landing.
What are the speeds for:
1) flapless glide descent
2) full flap glide descent
3) full flap normal descent
4) slowest normal approach (eg short field)
1) 70kt
2) 63kt
3) 60-70kt 55kt
4) 55kt
What are:
1) normal RPM range
2) climb RPM
3) cruise RPM
4) max RPM
1) 2200-2450
2) 2500
3) 2300
4) 2700
What is Vno
Normal speed - 2300RPM and 100-105kt
What is Vmax x/w
Max crosswind component 17kt
