Q

Communication failure in IMC

A

squawk 7600
- check volume
- check your comm/mic selection
- check frequency
- switch to previous ATC frequency & ask again for frequency

MEA : min en-route altitude (fly the highest)
~ expected
~ assigned

Route: fly in order
~assigned
~ vectored
~ expected
~ filed

Q

Disorientation and Illusions in IMC

A

Runway width:
narrower = higher
Wider =lower

Graveyard spin in IMC : prolonged coordinated, constant-rate turn may experience the illusion of not turning. When returning to level flight, pic will experience turning in the opposite direction.

Somatogravic illusion : nose-up attitude (experienced on takeoff) pic may push the aircraft into a nose-low or nose-dive attitude.

Corolis illusion: in turn long enough that fluid in the ear canal moves at the same speed. Turning of the head, has the illusion that the plane is doing something that it isn’t

Leans : sudden return to straight and level flight.

Fog gives the illusion of pitching up.

Haze gives the illusion of being at a greater distance and height from the runway.

Q

magnetic compass

A

BGFC doesn’t have magnetic compasses in the Archers.
instead, they have 2 Magnetometers, one under each wing
measure the earths magnetic field to show orientation.
- typically magnetic compasses have to be reset in flight every 15 minutes due to precession of the instrument

Q

Preflight check on the Airspeed indicator
- is it Pitot Static or a Gyroscopic instrument?

A

Should be reading 0 while on the ground
“airspeed alive” during takeoff, if not; abort takeoff
