Q

What are the left turning tendencies and how do they work

A

P-Factor is caused by the descending blade having a higher angle of attack then the ascending blade

Spiral Slipstream caused by the propeller wash spins around the aircraft and applies force pushing the rudder to the right making the aircraft go left

Torque newtons third law every action has a equal and opposite reaction force from the crankshaft causes the aircraft to rotate in the opposite direction

Gyroscopic Precession a force applied to gyro (propeller) applies 90 degrees later

Q

What are characteristics of AFT and Forward CG

A

AFT CG:
Decreases lateral stability (less leverage)
Increased cruise speed (More forward pressure)
Decreases Stall speed (Forward pressure Applied)
Difficulty recovering from stall (poor lateral stability)

Forward CG:
Increased Lateral Stability (More leverage)
Decreased Cruise Speed (More back pressure)
Increased Stall Speed
(Higher AOA to remain level altitude)

Q

What is density altitude

Study These Flashcards
A

Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature

22
Q

How does humidity effect density altitude

Study These Flashcards
A

Humidity is less dense then air, humidity increases density altitude

23
Q

What are the effects of aircraft performance with increased density altitude

Study These Flashcards
A

Decreased engine performance and aerodynamic performance

24
Q

What are Special use Airspaces

Study These Flashcards
A

Airspaces that have special rules for flight under that airspace

25
How do you turn on pilot controlled lighting
7 times for bright, 5 times for moderate, 3 times for dim
26
What are VFR cruising altitudes
360-179 odd thousands plus 500' | 180-359 even thousands plus 500'
27
What are common transponder codes
1200 VFR 7500 Hijack 7600 Radios Out 7700 Emergency
28
What is the emergency frequency
121.5
29
How do you activate a flight plan
Contact FSS through radio or Ground
30
How do you get a VFR flight following
Contact Approach or Departure Frequencies and request flight following
31
What is happening when runway lights are blocked on final approach
That defines there is an obstacle on the runway and a go-around should be made
32
What are the right of way procedures
The right of way rules for category of aircraft are: Balloons, Gliders, Airships, Aircraft Converging, the aircraft on the right has the right of way Aircraft in Distress have the right of way over all Approaching Head on, both aircraft divert right Overtaking, aircraft being overtaken has right of way Two aircraft on Final, the lowest has right of way Aircraft Landing, has right of way
33
What are the symptoms and corrective action of hypoxia
Symptoms: Headache, Poor Reaction, Poor Judgement, Euphoria, visual impairment, drowsiness, lightheaded, tingling, numbness, blue skin coloration, limp muscles Prevention would be supplemental oxygen (hypoxic hypoxia), remain good health (histoxic hypoxia), don't overload G's (stagnant hypoxia), keep clear of chemicals that affect hemoglobin (hypemic hypoxia)
34
What are the symptoms and corrective action of hyperventillation
Symptoms: Increased Breathing Rate, Headache, Poor Reaction, Poor Judgement, Euphoria, visual impairment, drowsiness, lightheaded, tingling, numbness, clamminess, spasms Corrective Action: breathe slowly, breathe into a bag, or talk aloud
35
What are the symptoms and corrective action of carbon monoxide poisoning
Symptoms: Headache, Poor Reaction, Poor Judgement, Euphoria, visual impairment, drowsiness, lightheaded, tingling, numbness, blue skin coloration, limp muscles Close Cabin Heat, Increase Airflow throughout cabin, and land as soon as possible
36
What are the symptoms and corrective action of spatial disorientation
Symptoms: Motion Sickness, Body's analysis of visual vs. vestibular senses incorrect Corrective Action would be to calm the Vestibular Senses, Correct Visual senses with Vestibular senses, increase air flow, and decrease discomfort of vestibular senses
37
What to do in situations of ear and sinus blockage
Return to safe altitude pressure level, slow descent rate with ear canal being constantly opened and closed
38
What are the oxygen requirements
12,500 - 14,000 Oxygen if operating at altitudes for 30 minutes or more 14,000 - 15,000 Oxygen for all aircrew members 15,000 + Oxygen for all aircrew and passengers
39
What are the regulations on substance use
Can't use alcohol within 8 hours of a flight Can't fly with a BAC over 0.04 Can't operate an aircraft while under the influence (hangovers include) Can't use any drug or alcohol that'll affect safety
40
Will the aircraft keep running if the alternator and battery are both dead
Yes, the aircraft will continue to run by mechanical means
41
Why are there two magnetos
To increase reliability | To have a more even fuel/air burn
42
What flight instruments would stop working if electrical system failed
Turn Coordinator, OBS, Oil Temperature Gauge, Ammeter, Tachometer, Flight Hour Recorder, Fuel Gauge
43
What would be indications of an alternator belt overheating
smell of burning rubber, (if it breaks electrical units fail, battery ammeter in negatives due to no charge received)
44
What is the fuel system of the aircraft and how does it work
Gravity Fuel System, uses gravity to send fuel from the fuel tank to the aircraft
45
What causes engine roughness and what are corrective actions
Carburetor Icing causes engine roughness and corrective action carburetor heat Damaged Components causes engine roughness and corrective action would be to land as soon as possible Improper Mixture Control causes engine roughness and corrective action would be to adjust to density altitude Detonation causes wear/damage to engine, overheating, engine failure, preignition, engine roughness. Corrective Action Climb at slower rate, decrease throttle, and increase cooling Preignition causes engine roughness and high engine temperatures corrective action enrichen fuel to air mixture, lower throttle, and increase cooling Using Improper fuel can cause engine to overheat or cause preignition, Corrective Action use proper grades of fuel allowed by manufacturers
46
what causes carburetor icing happen and what are corrective actions
Carburetor icing is caused by induction icing this could be fuel icing, throttle icing, or ram air icing. Corrective Action would be to add carburetor heat and leave area of visible moisture
47
What should you do in the event of an alternator failure
Try resetting the alternator if this doesn't work, Turn alternator off and only use necessity electrical systems and land as soon as possible
48
What happens when pitot tube or static port is blocked
Pitot Tube blocked ASI reads zero Pitot Tube and Drainhole blocked ASI reads high in climb and low in descent Blocked Static ASI reads low in climb and high in descent Alternate Static makes ASI and Altimeter read high Broken VSI glass makes everything read high and VSI reverse readings
49
What indicates stall or spins
High Angle of attack, Aircraft Shaking, Stall warning Horn/Light, and loss of control
50
What would you do if you entered a flat spin
Change center of gravity due to axis of spin being near the CG, and perform spin/stall recovery procedures
51
Who must you contact to enter a airspace
the controlling air traffic tower of that airspace
