41st Smart Book Flashcards
Slipstream Effect
Thrust Generated by the propeller that creates a corkscrew slipstream that strikes the wing root fuselage and tail surfaces
P-Factor
Effect of Propeller- AOA is higher on the downward blade than the upward blade causing the A/C to yaw left
Torque
Torque Reaction acts opposite the direction of propeller rotation. (T-6 tends to roll to the left when power is increased, Right when power is decreased)
Gyroscopic Effect
When a force is applied to displace a spinning mass, the force acts on a plane 90 degrees from which it is applied
Adverse Yaw
Tendency of an A/C to yaw away from the direction of aileron input
How long is a Preflight Inspection valid for?
72 hours if not flown. 6 hours if flown
When is a Thru-Flight (TH) inspection conducted?
Between flights if A/C will fly again that day.
When is a Basic Postflight Inspection (BPO) conducted?
After the last flight of the day
What does a ‘Red X’ on a 781 mean?
Unsafe/Unfit for flight. (Only a designated MX Sup can initial over the X).
What does a ‘Red -‘ on a 781 mean?
Overdue inspection, not necessarily grounded, but may not be fit for flight
What does a ‘Red /’ on a 781 mean?
Minor Discrepancy (Minor maintenance needed, but OK for flight)
When is an exceptional release required?
Always required prior to flight
Who may issue an Exceptional Release?
MX officer or Sup- ER good for the whole day
Rated Pilot- ER is good for that flight only
When are dated inspection due in the 781?
At the end of the day
How long are tire pressure checks good for?
Good for that day
