Question 20

Vmc Demo

Answer 20

1. Clearing turns.
2. Flaps-up, gear-up.
3. Mixtures–Enrichen, Props–Fwd, Fuel Pumps–On.
4. Slowly close left throttle while maintaining heading and altitude.
5. Slow to 100 KIAS (approx. 10 KIAS above VYSE).
6. Slowly increase right throttle (operating engine) to full power. Use
   rudder to maintain directional control and bank up to 5 ̊ towards the
   operating engine.
7. Increase pitch attitude slowly, decrease airspeed at approximately 1
   knot per second until full rudder is applied to maintain directional
   control.
8. Recover at first sign of:
   A. Loss of directional control.
   B. First indication of stall (stall horn or buffet).
9. Recover promptly by simultaneously reducing power sufficiently on the
   operating engine while decreasing the angle of attack as necessary to
   regain directional control within 20 ̊ of entry heading.
10. Continue recovery by increasing power slowly on operating engine
    while maintaining an AOA that allows for airspeed to increase to a point where directional control can be maintained with a minimum loss of altitude.
11. Accelerate to 82-88 KIAS.
12. Bring throttles slowly together to 20” MP.
13. “Cruise Checklist.”

Question 21

Emergency Descent

Answer 21

1. Throttles–Slowly reduce to idle.
2. Props–Full Forward.
3. Mixtures–Adjust.
4. Gear-Down, accelerate up to a max speed of 140 KIAS (ATP use 120 KIAS)
5. Cowl Flaps–As Required.
6. Maintain 140 KIAS (ATP 120 KIAS) during descent.
7. Notify ATC as appropriate.

Question 22

Steep Turns

Answer 22

1. Clearing turns as specified by the Examiner.
2. Set power to maintain 120 KIAS throughout maneuver.
3. Set bug to entry heading.
4. Maintain selected altitude ±100’.
5. Maintain 120 KIAS or a safe airspeed not to exceed VA.
6. Adjust power as necessary during maneuver.
7. Perform 360 ̊ turn to the left maintaining at least 50 ̊ bank ±5 ̊.
8. Roll out on entry heading ±10 ̊.
9. Perform 360 ̊ turn to the right maintaining at least 50 ̊ bank ±5 ̊.
10. Roll out on entry heading ±10 ̊.

Question 23

Slow Flight

Answer 23

1. Clearing turns.
2. “Gear Down Before Landing Checklist.”
3. Extend full flaps 40 ̊.
4. Slow to just above stall warning (approximately 60-65 KIAS).
5. Adjust power as necessary to maintain airspeed while maneuvering.
6. Accomplish straight-and-level flight, climbs, turns, and descents as
   required, without activating a stall warning.
7. Recover with max power.
8. Retract flaps slowly to 0 ̊.
9. Accelerate to 82 KIAS (VX), maintain altitude or climb as specified by
   Examiner.
10. Retract gear, accelerate to 88 KIAS (VY).
11. “Cruise Checklist.”

Question 24

Power Off Stall

Answer 24

1. Clearing turns.
2. “Gear Down Before Landing Checklist.”
3. Extend full flaps 40 ̊.
4. Establish a stabilized 400 FPM descent at 75 KIAS.
5. Maintain selected heading, or establish 15 ̊-bank turn as specified by
   Examiner.
6. Slowly reduce power to idle while increasing pitch attitude to induce
   stall (approx. 12 ̊).
7. Acknowledge stall cues and recover promptly at the first indication of
   an impending stall.
8. Simultaneously reduce angle-of-attack, set max power, and level wings.
9. Retract flaps slowly to 10 ̊.
10. Accelerate to 82 KIAS (VX), establish a positive rate of climb.
11. Retract flaps to 0 ̊.
12. Retract gear, accelerate to 88 KIAS (VY).
13. “Cruise Checklist.”

Question 25

Power On Stall

Answer 25

1. Clearing turns.
2. Set takeoff or departure configuration as specified by the Examiner:
   A. Takeoff configuration (Gear Down, Flaps 0 ̊).
   B. Departure configuration (Gear Up, Flaps 0 ̊).
3. Mixtures–Enrichen, Props–Fwd, Fuel Pumps–On.
4. Slow to 80 KIAS, liftoff speed.
5. Maintain selected heading or establish a 15 ̊-bank turn, as specified by
   the Examiner.
6. Transition smoothly to approx. 15 ̊ pitch-up while increasing power to 18” MP.
7. Acknowledge stall cues and recover promptly at the first indication of
   an impending stall.
8. Simultaneously reduce angle-of-attack, set max power, and level wings.
9. Accelerate to 82 KIAS (VX), establish a positive rate of climb.
10. Retract gear (if extended), accelerate to 88 KIAS (VY).
11. “Cruise Checklist.”

Question 26

Accelerated Stall

Answer 26

1. Clearing turns.
2. Flaps-up, gear-up.
3. Mixtures–Enrichen, Props–Fwd, Fuel Pumps–On.
4. Slow to 100 KIAS.
5. Slowly reduce power to idle.
6. Establish a coordinated 45 ̊ bank turn.
7. Maintain altitude to induce stall.
8. Recover at the first indication of an impending stall.
9. Reduce angle-of-attack, level wings, and set max power.
10. “Cruise Checklist.”
