Q

When reviewing the 781 Forms at the aircraft, what are the three different red symbols and what do they mean?

A

Red Dash: Overdue inspection, may or may not warrant grounding based on severity. Has to be Exceptionally Released (P. 5)
Red Diagonal: Discrepancy exists with one or more pieces of equipment, but not sufficiently urgent or dangerous enough to warrant grounding. Has to be Exceptionally Released (P. 5)
Red X: Grounding, unsafe or unserviceable until corrected (P. 4)

Q

When do you need to file an alternate?

A
  • A compatible instrument approach procedure is not available at the destination airfield or
  • Wx forecasts indicate, +/-1 hr ETA at the destination airfield, including TEMPO conditions, are < 2000-3 or Forecast crosswinds out of limits (“1-2-3”)

  • Wx observations are not reported
  • Alternate not authorized (Trouble A)
  • Any other notes that disqualify the airfield in the IFR Alternate Minimums section
    and

“airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which aircraft flight is prohibited”

AFMAN11-202V3 4.27.7

132
Q

What is a restricted area?

AFMAN11-202V3 4.27.8

133
Q

What is a danger area?

A

“airspace of defined dimensions, within which activites dangerous to aircraft flight may exist at specified times”

AFMAN11-202V3 4.27.9

134
Q

Flight Characteristics

What is Slipstream effect?

A

The thrust generated by the rotation of the propeller induces a phenomenon called corkscrew slipstream effect that strikes the wing root, fuselage, and tail surfaces with constant force proportional to power setting and airspeed

Ref?

135
Q

Flight Characteristics

What is P-Factor?

A

An effect of the propeller - AOA is higher on the downward blade than the upward blade causing the aircraft to yaw left

Ref?

136
Q

Flight Characteristics

What is Torque Effect?

A

It is a reaction equal and opposite the torque of the rotatingh propeller. The T-6 tends to roll to the left as a result of torque when power is increased. Also, the aircraft tends to roll right as power is decreased

Ref?

137
Q

Flight Characteristics

What is Gyroscopic Effect?

A

Sometimes call Gyroscopic Precessions, occurs when a force is applied to displace a spinning mass resulting in action on a plane 90 degrees from where it was applied. I.E.:
If the nose is yawed left, nose also pitches up
If the nose is yawed right, nose pitches down
If the nose pitches up, nose yaws right
If the nose pitches down, nose yaws left

Ref?

138
Q

Flight Characteristics

What is Adverse Yaw?

A

It is the tendency of the aircraft to yaw away from the direction of aileron input. I.E.: as the stick is moved left, the right wing creates more lift, but also more induced drag on that same wing, which creates a yaw towards that wing.
