Q

Describe the electrical system

A

The Archer is equipped with a 28-volt DC electrical system and a 24-volt lead acid main battery. Electrical power is supplied by a 70-amp, engine driven alternator. A voltage regulator maintains a constant 28-volt output from the alternator.

Q

Describe the stall warning system

A

It is an electric stall detector located on the leading edge of the left wing. The stall warning horn is activated between 5 and 10 knots above stall speed. In G500 Archers, the horn emits a continuous sound.

Q

Describe the fuel system

A

The Archer, which uses 100 low lead avgas (blue), is equipped with two 25-gallon fuel tanks. One gallon is unusable in each tank. There is one engine-driven and one electrically-driven fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is used for all takeoffs
and landings, and when switching tanks.

Q

Explain how to change fuel tanks in cruise flight

A
  1. Electric fuel pump on
  2. Fuel selector from “L” to “R” or from “R” to “L”
  3. Check fuel pressure
  4. Electric fuel pump off
  5. Check fuel pressure
20
Q

How is steering accomplished on the ground?

A

By using rudder petals

21
Q

What is the range of travel on the nose wheel?

A

20 degrees both ways

22
Q

What type of braking system is used braking system by the Archer? Where is the brake fluid reservoir?

A

The Archer is equipped with hydraulically-actuated disc brakes on the main landing gear wheels. Braking is accomplished by depressing the tops of the rudder pedals.

The brake fluid reservoir is installed on the top left front face of the firewall.

23
Q

What type of flaps does the Archer have?

A

Manually operated Slotted Flaps. Reenergizes the laminar flow over the top of the wing.

24
Q

What are the flap settings on the Archer?

A

Flap settings are 0°, 10°, 25°, and 40°,
and are spring-loaded to return to the 0 ° position.

25
Q

What are the maximum taxi, take-off, and landing weights?

A

Taxi - 2,558 lbs
Takeoff - 2,550 lbs
Landing - 2,550 lbs

26
Q

What is the maximum baggage capacity?

A

200lbs

27
Q

Define Vx and Vy

A

Vx is the best angle of climb, Vy is the best rate of climb

28
Q

What aircraft equipment checks are required under FAR Part 91?

A

(1) Airspeed indicator.
(2) Altimeter.
(3) Magnetic direction indicator.
(4) Tachometer for each engine.
(5) Oil pressure gauge for each engine using pressure system.
(6) Temperature gauge for each liquid-cooled engine.
(7) Oil temperature gauge for each air-cooled engine.
(8) Manifold pressure gauge for each altitude engine.
(9) Fuel gauge indicating the quantity of fuel in each tank.

Q

What documents are required to be on the aircraft?

A
  1. Airworthiness certificate
  2. Registration certificate
  3. Operating manual
  4. Weight & Balance

Verify radio has power, if no power to radio, squawk 7600.

31
Q

Does the PA-28 have an alternate static source?

A

An alternate static source is located inside the cabin under the left side of the instrument panel, for use in the event of static port blockage

32
Q

How is the alternate static system activated? What actions are required to ensure the most accurate reading?

A

By using the alternate switch in the cabin.
When using the alternate static source, the storm window and cabin
vents must be closed and the cabin heater and defroster must be on.

Q

How many fuel pumps are on the aircraft?

A

Two, one engine driven and one electronically driven.

38
Q

When is the electric fuel pump to be used?

A

The electric fuel pump is used for all takeoffs and landings, and when switching tanks

39
Q

What are the various positions of the fuel selector control?

A

“L”, “R”, and “OFF”

40
Q

In the event of an electrical failure, what pilot actions are necessary to
ensure continued operation of the standby attitude indicator?

A
41
Q

If the standby power button on the attitude indicator is not pressed within one minute of electrical failure, what will happen?

A
42
Q

How do you determine a standard rate turn on an aircraft with a G500
system?

A

Magenta line next to HSI heading as I turn will hit second dash mark

43
Q

In the event of an AHRS failure, which indications will no longer be displayed on the PFD? Which indications will still be visible on the PFD?

A
44
Q

Which approaches can be accomplished with an AHRS failure?

A
45
Q

What instrument approaches are available with the PFD inoperative? With the MFD inoperative? With a total PFD/MFD failure?

A
