All crew must have
51
Oxygen requirements 15000
All passengers must be offered oxygen and crew must have it
52
Oxygen requirements 5000 night
Required oxygen
53
Hypoxia
Deficiency of oxygen in blood
54
Hypoxic hypoxia
Body is unable to process oxygen rich blood
55
Hypemic hypoxia
Carbon monied bonds blood because it heavier than oxygen to the red blood cell
56
Histotoxic hypoxia
Body not having enough oxygen because of drug and alcohol
57
Stagnant hypoxia
Blood not being able to circulate through the body due to G force
58
Hyperventilating
Taking in too much oxygen which doesn’t balance with the blood
59
What type of engine
Textron Lycoming
60
Engine abbreviation I-O-360
``` L- lycoming H- horizontally opposed A- air cooled N- normally aspirated D- direct drive 360- 360 cubic inch of displacement ```
61
How many cylinders in engine
4
62
How many spark plugs
8 | 1 on top and 1 on the bottom
63
How many magnetos
2
64
Explain the electrical system
28 volt system 24 volt battery 60 amp alternator (direct current)
65
What type of landing gear
-Fixed tricycle gear -main gear is tubular sprung steel - nose gear is oleo strut (compressed air and hydraulic fluid) Taxi- compressed air Land- hydraulic fluid
66
What is lift
Lift is the upward is the acting force created by the wing (airfoil) as it moves through the air
67
What is weight
Weight is the downward force that is always towards the center of the earth and opposed by Lift
68
What is thrust
Thrusters the force or energy generated by the propeller the same way as a wing produces lift and it is the forward force that opposes drag
69
What’s is drag
Drag is the rear word acting force which resist the forward movement of an airplane through the air
70
Slow flight
``` 1500 agl or above Pick a landmark to go to Reduce power Add flaps Increase speed and pitch Adjust power and pitch to maintain speed and altitude Trim ```
71
Power off stall
``` Reduce power to idle Slowly increase pitch Right rudder Relive back pressure e Power full ```
72
Steel turns
``` Pick a point 90 kias Begin turn 45 degrees Apply back pressure Maintain turn while looking at nose half of horizon Being roll out 30 degrees before heading ```
