Unit 2 Flashcards
(20 cards)
Which propeller adverse effect is caused by asymmetrical aerodynamic loading of the propeller blades
P factor
To recover from a stall you must
Reduce the angle of attack
The indicated air speed (IAS) is greater when
Executing a steep turn
During a spin to the left
Both wings are stalled
To recover from a spin
Reduce the angle of attack and apply rudder in the opposite direction of the spin
Which flight instruments will not display proper indications if the STATIC port is blocked
Airspeed, Altimeter, VSI
True Airspeed (TAS) is used to calculate
Time enroute to the destination
The low limit of the airspeed green band represents the speed at which
The airplane will stall with flaps fully extended
As density altitude increases, the airplane
Performs worse
While departing from an airport, you set your altimeter setting at 30.15 in.Hg. Upon arrival at your destination, you forgot to reset your altimeter to the reported local setting of 30.00 in. Hg. If your destination airport elevation is 500 ft, what will your altimeter indicate when you land?
650 ft
What is the allowable altimeter error from field elevation during your preflight checks
+/- 75 ft
Magnetic variation is caused by
The difference in the location of Magnetic and True North
In the Northern hemisphere, if you start a turn to the East, from a heading of 360 the magnetic compass will initially show a turn towards:
The west
If the master switch is selected OFF during flight:
The engine will continue to operate normally
Carburetor icing is most likely to develop during low power operations:
When humidity is high and temperature is between 20-70 degrees Fahrenheit
What is a cause of Detonation
Low grade fuel
A magneto operational check is accomplished by
Grounding the opposite magneto
When calculating takeoff performance, if interpolation is not desired, calculate the performance for
Higher temperature and/or pressure altitude
Taking off into a headwind results in
Using less runway and gaining more altitude in a shorter distance
Your weight and balance calculations result in the following:
AP gross weight 2,250 lbs
Total moments 87,750 lbs-in
If the center of gravity limits are 38-47.4 inches, how will your airplane perform?
Takeoff ground roll will be longer, and the airplane will be more stable
