Q

How do you carry out a Manual Start?

A

MANUAL start:

1) PMS set to MANUAL.
2) Booster pumps ON and moves the STARTER switch to MAN.
3) When the oil P rises the ignition is set to IGN.
4) Move the throttle slowly forward until the ITT increases. As the ITT peak moves the throttle slowly to idle.
5) When the engine reach idle (Ng (67% ± 7%), with the throttle above the idle stop, the pilot must return the starter, ignition and fuel pump switches to AUTO.

Q

What is a Manual Start?

A

MANUAL START - Throttle manually controls the rate of increase of fuel flow to the engine and therefore the rate of rise of the ITT. If the throttle is moved forward too quickly, the ITT could exceed limits or the engine could surge. Shut-down the engine if the ITT fails to rise (no light up), exceeds limits or if the Ng stabilizes below idle.

Q

How does the Fire Alert System work?

A

If there is a fire or overheat in the engine compartment, red FIRE warnings are given in both cockpits on the DWP and MFD. A fire around the engine expands the gas in the fire detector element. The gas pressure increases and operates a switch in the detector to complete a circuit and operates the fire detection relay.

Q

Definition of chicken fuel.

A

‘Chicken Fuel’ is the minimum fuel computed from the furthest point of the navigation route, where the aircrew must initiate the chicken fuel recovery profile when it is assessed that he/she will go below ‘Chicken Fuel’ before reaching the furthest point.
(SOP 8-1 – Navigation)

Chicken fuel is calculated from the furthest point directly back to Pearce.

Why do we set 40-50% power setting on brakes during Power Checks? sect 9.12(canopy)
Holding brakes and selecting 40% TQ ensures: - Normal engine indications and safety pin positions are checked and correct. -CAPS come on at 38% - Provides rapid engine acceleration to MAX power - To ease directional control after brake release. (Section 8 - Operational tips PG.10)
26
Length of MDC chord and how do you activate the external CFS Handle?
15ft/ 4.572m Move the fluorescent cover to reveal the release button. Push the button to release the handle Pull the handle away from the a/c
27
Why instructor max crosswind is limit by 24kts?
AFM (Section 4 Part 2: Normal Procedures airspeed limitations) State that MAX demonstrated crosswind component = 24kts Value recommended by Pilatus Effects of crosswind speeds beyond 24kts on airframe unknown, hence use safe recommended limit set by Pilatus
28
How many ways are there to release the leg restraints?
Two ways 1)The quick release catch 2)crocodile clips We do not use the quick release during strap-out as the leg restraints may get stuck.(difficult to reattach quick release catch)
29
Why BATT more than 23.6V @ startup?
If BATT 1 voltage is below 23.6, BATT 1 should be recharged before attempting engine start. If engine starts at low BATT 1 voltage, the BATT BUS voltage may drop below the level required to keep the avionics that it supports online.
30
What are the X and Y channels on TACAN UFCP?
X channel when you're looking at ground based NAV aids. Military uses the Y freqs a lot for formation distance info. Set two channels 63 apart and you can pick up a distance from each other (29 & 92). Source: google (???)
31
When do we do FIRHAD checks?

39
How to calculate total wave height for flying over water?(16/3) Due to effectiveness for S&R operations SO B-4
Square root[ (sea state)^2 x (swell height^2) ] In oceanography, a sea state is the general condition of the free surface on a large body of water – with respect to wind waves and swell – at a certain location and moment. The swell height we give is an average of the largest 1/3rd of all waves. Something very much like the average set wave. It's measured from the trough (very lowest point) to peak (very highest point) of each wave.

47
Definition of BINGO and JOKER fuel word for word?
“Bingo” Fuel is the fuel state at which the mission in the area will be terminated and will allow for a normal recovery via low level at 200 KIAS to land before reaching minimum fuel. “Joker” Fuel is a fuel state nominated by QFI or Formation Leader to assist in sortie management. (SOP 2-15 – General Flying)
48
Emergency and Minimum fuel quantity and what do these values mean.
Emergency Fuel - 110 lbs at FAF / IP Allows 1 missed approach and land visually at the same airfield before reaching aircraft minimum safe operating fuel state (50lbs). Minimum Fuel - 230 lbs at FAF / IP Allows 1 missed approach and divert to land before reaching emergency fuel. Sufficient for either VRIAP to Gingin or Radar Vectors for INST APP finals to Perth. (SOP 2-15 – General Flying) One Circuit Fuel- 60lbs The minimum planned fuel is 230 lbs at FAF/IP, which allows for one missed approach and divert to land before reaching emergency fuel. Sufficient for either VRIAP to Gingin or Radar Vectors for INST APP finals to Perth (SOP 8-1 - Navigation) The minimum fuel at the IP/FAF is 230 lbs (add 100 lbs for solo). (SSG Chapter 25 – MEDIUM LEVEL NAVIGATION 4.1.3 Pg 5 )

Circuit Area (CIRA) Pearce and Gingin CIRAs are from surface to 3,500ft AMSL. (SO B11-1)
51
What is Merlo Release?
The Merlo Release is civil airspace that is released to Pearce when Perth is operating on RWY 03 or 06 (northeast plan). The Merlo Release comprises civil airspace above R153 A and B, and that portion of the PTH TMA within 9 TAC, SFC-A040. When Pearce is operating to RWY 36, the Merlo Release facilitates instrument approaches on the 7 TAC arc, and positioning for visual approach via initial. When Perth is operating on RWY 21 or 24 (southwest plan) the Merlo release is not available, and instrument approaches to RWY 36 will be denied or delayed. The Pearce ATIS will then include the phrase ‘Merlo Release not available.’ Under such circumstances the Gnangara Release is still available. Perth VOR (PTH) Terminal Control Area (TMA) (SI-OPS 3-4 – Pg 4
52
Flexible descent purpose?
Flexible descent – Speed, power and airbrake as required. You must plan for a proper descend from FL150 to 8000/7000ft as required. You must achieve the required altitude before you reach the Class C/E airspace boundary. Use 240KIAS for all descends. If it appears that you will not achieve the required height by the airspace boundary use a flexible descend. (SSG Chapter 25 – MEDIUM LEVEL NAVIGATION 6.7 Pg 12 )
53
What is the value of the pressure when the EO2 gauge is in the "green"?
EO2 psi is roughly charged to 1800 psi In between the green zone. Not too high psi to cater for gas expansion and not too low to maintain the green section.
54
Average area elevation?
Our area elevation is roughly 2000ft AGL.
55
LEARNING POINT 1
All DXOs, except Mr Leng(DANGLE), are not 8G cleared. Training G limit:7G If 7G is exceeded, sortie can be continued provided all occupants are 8G qualified. If limit is exceeded for a 2nd time, terminate sortie and RTB. SXO informed.
56
LEARNING POINT 2
If the propeller has not started you can walk near the red line.
57
What is the firing sequence for the ejection seat? Why is it designed this way?
Ejection seat: Front seat will go left and the rear seat will go right due to the underseat rocket motor. The front will go after the back to minimize risk of inadvertent collision during ejection due to the forward motion of the aircraft the air resistance may cause the front to be in the path of the back ejector if the front ejects first.
