Q

What is an experimental airworthiness certificate?

A

A certificate is issued to operate an aircraft that does not have a type certificate or does not conform to its type certificate yet, but is safe to fly.

Q

For an aircraft to be considered airworthy, what two conditions must be met?

A
  1. The aircraft must conform to its type design.
  2. The aircraft must be in condition for safe operation, referring to wear and tear.

Q

How does a pilot determine if an aircraft conforms to its approved type design and is safe to fly?

A

For type design: Determine the maintenance, and alternations have been properly performed. Ensure the aircraft is registered in the U.S.. Ensure all required inspections, maintenance, preventive maintenance, repairs, and alterations have been done and documented.
For safe operation: conduct a preflight inspection

Q

What is a Supplemental Type Certificate?

A

Issued by the FAA, it is approval of a major type design change. Authorizes a change to either the airframe, engine, or some other component. Issued when alternations are not made or authorized by the Type Certificate Data Sheet.

Q

What are the four factors that contribute to torque effect?

A
  1. Torque reaction of the engine and propeller
  2. Gyroscopic effect of the propeller
  3. Corkscrewing effect of the propeller slipstream
  4. Assymetrical loading of the propeller, (P-factor)
17
Q

What are several factors that affect lift and drag? (5)

A
  1. Wing area
  2. Shape of airfoil
  3. Velocity of air
  4. Air Density
  5. Angle of attack
18
Q

What are the different operation categories?

A

Normal
Utility
Aerobatic

19
Q

When are spins most likely to occur? (4)

A
  1. Engine failure on takeoff during climbout
  2. Cross controlled turn from base to final (over correcting after overshooting final at low speeds)
  3. Engine failure on approach to landing (pilot tries to stretch glide too much)
  4. Go around with full nose up trim
20
Q

What causes adverse yaw?

A

When turning to the right, the right wing dips. Therefore the left wing has more lift, therefore more drag. That increased drag is pulled the plane on the x-axis that direction.

21
Q

What is Arm?

A

The horizontal distance in inches from the reference datum line to the center of gravity.

22
Q

How is performance adversely affected on an aircraft when overloaded? (10)

A
  1. Higher takeoff speed
  2. Longer takeoff run
  3. Reduced rate and angle of climb
  4. Lower max altitude
  5. Shorter range
  6. Slower cruise speed
  7. Reduced maneuverability
  8. Higher stall speed
  9. Higher land speed
  10. Longer landing roll
23
Q

What affect does a forward center of gravity have on an aircraft? (4)

A
  1. Higher stall speed; due to increased wing loading
  2. Slower cruise speed; increased drag, and greater angle of attack to maintain altitude
  3. More stable
  4. Greater back elevator pressure required
24
Q

What are the weights per gallon of water, fuel, and oil?

A

Water: 8.35 lbs
Fuel: 6 lbs
Oil: 7.5 lbs

25
Q

What factors affect an airplane during takeoff and landing? (5)

A
  1. Air density
  2. Surface wind
  3. Runway Surface
  4. upslope or downslope of runway
  5. Weight
26
Q

What affect does density altitude have on takeoff and landing performance? (4)

A

An increase in density altitude (thinner air)
1. Increased takeoff distance
2. Reduced rate of climb
3. Increase airspeed
4. Increased landing roll distance

27
Q

How does air density affect aircraft performance? (4)

A
  1. Lift produced by the wings
  2. Power output of the engine
  3. Propeller efficiency
  4. Drag forces
28
Q

What factors affect air density?

A

Humidity, tempature, elevation

29
Q

How many miles can I glide in piper archer?

A

Look at POH
