Q

What happens if the static port gets blocked?

A
  • Airspeed low in a climb, high in a descent
  • Altimeter freezes
  • VSI freezes•
    The airspeed indicates lower than the actual airspeed when the aircraft is operated above the altitude where the static ports became blocked, because the trapped static pressure is higher than normal for that altitude. When operating at a lower altitude, a faster than actual airspeed is displayed due to the relatively low static pressure trapped in the system.

Q

The LOC inbound course is 360degrees, the final approach fix is the XYZ VOR 090deg radial at 20DME. You are on the 288 bearing to the station established on the LOC. How far is the FAF?

A 
6 Miles. 
60:1 rule means 1 deg = 1 mile at 60 miles out. 20 miles out, 1 deg = 1/3 mile. Bearing difference is 18deg. 18deg/3=6 Miles.
I DID IT
288 BEARING = 108 RADIAL
108 - 090 = 180
20 = 3 
180/3 = 6

Q

Descending through 6,000ft you elect to turn on the engine anti ice. Your EPR was 1.96. What do you expect the EPR to read after you switch the anti-ice on?

A

1.86. (Due to lower pressure in the back of the engine since you took power away when you turned on the ice).

47
Q

A

Air flowing up the windward side of a mountain is relatively smooth. Dangerous down drafts may be encountered on the lee side. The wave pattern may extend to 100 miles or more downwind of the barrier. Mountain wave winds are typically westerly.

48
Q

4 miles per minute, standard rate turn = 90deg=30 seconds. 2 miles to complete the turn, 2 miles at 20DME = 6 radials.

49
Q

Why would a swept wing aircraft roll if you were to push on the rudder?

A

Because the advancing wing has a greater angle of attack. (dutch roll)

50
Q

Thunderstorm 5 miles off approach end of runway. On T/O roll your IAS freezes. What happened?

A

V1 may no longer be valid due to a tailwind.

53
Q

Normal cabin pressurization has failed and you are in manual mode. If you change speed or altitude, what should you do to the cabin outflow valved to maintain a constant cabin pressure?

A
  • Higher speed or throttle=more bleeds air/pressure so open the outflow valve to let out some cabin air.
  • Low altitude=more ambient pressure, so open the outflow valve.
54
Q

Under what conditions would you need to adjust the DH?

A

cold or lower temperatures
