24
Q

Describe the electrical system.

Study These Flashcards
A

The Archer is equipped with a 28-volt DC electrical system and a 24-volt lead-acid battery. Electrical power is supplied by a 70-amp, engine-driven alternator. A voltage regulator maintains a constant 28-volt output from the alternator. An over voltage relay is located on the forward left side of the fuselage behind the instrument panel. Alternator output is displayed on a digital ammeter on the instrument panel.

25
What are the indications of a failed alternator?
“ALTERNATOR INOP” annunciator or zero reading on ammeter
26
Will the engine continue to run with the alternator and battery master switches turned off?
Yes, engine ignition is provided through the use of two engine driven magnetos which are independent of the aircraft’s electrical system and each other.
27
Describe the stall warning system.
Electric stall detector on leading edge of left wing, emits continuous sound alarm when between 5-10 knots above stall speed
28
Describe the fuel system.
One engine driven and one electrically driven fuel pump. Electric fuel pump is used for all takeoffs, landings, and when switching tanks
29
Explain how to change fuel tanks in cruise flight.
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
30
Describe the landing gear system. How is steering accomplished on the ground? What is the range of travel on the nose wheel?
- Fixed, tricycle type gear with oleo (air/oil) struts for shock absorption - The nose wheel is linked to the rudder pedals - 20’ each side of center
31
What type of braking system is used by the Archer? Where is the brake fluid reservoir?
Hydraulically actuated disk brakes on main landing gear wheels, Top left front face of the firewall
32
What type of flaps does the Archer have? | What are the flap settings on the Archer?
Slotted, manual flaps, spring loaded to return to 0’ position, four positions (0’, 10’, 25’, 40’)
33
What are the maximum taxi, takeoff, and landing weights?
2,558 lb
34
What is the maximum baggage capacity?
200 lb
35
Define Vx and Vy.
Vx - best angle of climb - (shortest ground distance covered to a specified altitude) Vy - best rate of climb - (shortest time to a specified altitude)
36
What aircraft equipment checks are required under FAR Part 91?
Annual - 24 months (91.409(a)) VOR - 30 days (91.171) Inspection - 100 hour (91.409(b)) Altimeter, static, encoder - 24 months (91.411) Transponder - 24 calendar months (91.413) ELT - Battery - after ½ battery life, or after 1 hour of cumulative use (91.207(c)) and Equipment - 12 months (91.207(d))
37
What documents are required to be on the aircraft?
``` Plane: A - Airworthiness Certificate R - Registration Certificate R - Radio Station License (International flight only) O - Operating Handbook W - Weight and Balance E - External Data Plate D - Deviation Card ``` Pilot: P - Photo ID P - Pilots License/Certifications M - Medical Certificate
38
Explain lost communications procedures.
VFR - Squawk 7600, remain VFR and land as soon as practicable IFR - Squawk 7600, Fly: - Route: Assigned, Vectored, Expected, Filed - Altitude: Minimum IFR, Expected, Assigned
39
Explain the pitot-static system. Does the PA-28 have an alternate static source? If so, how is it activated and what actions are necessary to acquire the most accurate reading?
Yes, the alternate source is located inside the cabin under the left side of the instrument panel. When in use the storm window and cabin vents must be closed and the cabin heater and defroster must be on to reduce the pitot-static error.
40
Explain the pitot-static system. | What instruments are pitot-static?
Airspeed indicator, altimeter, and the vertical speed indicator
41
Explain the pitot-static system. | Where is the pitot-static port located?
On the pitot head installer on the bottom of the left wing
42
What is the fuel capacity? How many gallons are unusable?
25 gal tank in each wing = 50 gal total, 1 gal unusable in each tank = 2 gal unusable, 48 gal useable fuel
43
What grade fuel is to be used in the PA-28?
``` 100 low lead avgas (blue) 100 avgas (green) - acceptable but not recommended as mixing the two will cause the fuel to turn clear and may be confused with water or jet fuel ```
44
How many fuel pumps are on the aircraft?
Two, 1 engine driven pump and 1 electrically driven pump
45
When is the electric fuel pump to be used?
All takeoffs, landings, and when switching tanks
46
What are the various positions on the fuel selector control?
“R”, “L”, “OFF”
47
In the event of an electrical failure, what pilot actions are necessary to ensure continued operation of the standby attitude indicator?
Press the “STBY PWR” button within 60 seconds of the failure.
48
If the standby power button on the attitude indicator is not pressed within one minute of the electrical failure, what will happen?
The gyro may not be oriented to the airplane depending on the time elapsed prior to pressing the STBY PWR button. Press the STBY PWR button while the amber LED is blinking for best results.
50
How do you determine a standard rate turn on an aircraft with a G500 system?
By using the reference lines and the magenta line that appears above the heading indicator and slip skid indicator at the top of attitude indicator
52
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?
Removed: The sky/ground presentation will be removed A red X appears across the attitude direction indicator (ADI) Yellow “ATTITUDE FAIL” and “HDG” alert messages appear on the PDF A “TRK” message appears to the right of the ground track at the top of the compass rose Rate-of-turn information is unavailable “HDG LOST”, “HDG FAULT’, and “TRK TRAFFIC” alert messages appear on the MFD ``` Remain: Airspeed Altitude Vertical speed Compass rose (supplied by GPS, “TRK”) Ground Track (supplied by GPS, “TRK”) ```
53
Which approaches can be accomplished with and AHRS failure?
Precision (ILS) and non-precision (GPS, localizer, and VOR) approaches
53
What instrument approaches are available with the PFD inoperative? With the MFD inoperative? With a total PFD/MFD failure?
PFD - only GPS non-precision approaches MFD - with the PFD functioning normally, all approaches available PDF/MFD - only GPS non-precision approaches
53
How long does the internal battery last when providing power to the standby attitude indicator? With the loss of the ADC, which lost instrument does not have a backup? What should you do to compensate for the lack of information?
- 1 hour of normal standby attitude indicator operation. - There is no backup for the VSI (vertical speed indicator) - Using the attitude indicator, power settings, and air speeds can produce consistent rates of pitch attitudes
