5 DL QUIZLET Flashcards
Starting Sequence (AROFEC)
Open Air Valve RPM climbs Oil Pressure Climbs Fuel Flow EGT climbs Air Valve Closes?
Circling radii
A - 1.3 B - 1.5 C - 1.7 D - 2.3 E - 4.5
Circling Airspeeds
A 0-90 B: 90-120 C: 121-140 D: 141- 165 E: 165+
True Airspeed vs Indicated Airspeed
Increases roughly 2% per 1,000’. So at 20,000’ it’s roughly 40% higher than at sea level.
Kollsman window (altimeter setting)
Lowers indicated altitude = lower altimeter setting = left turn knob
Raise indicated altitude - raise altimeter setting = turn knob right.
High to Low - Lookout Below (temps and Kollsman window)
Altimeter set higher than should be = jet lower than it indicates (like not resetting 29.92 to lower altimeter in AK)
Battery reads 0 Volts
Dead and Charger Broken
Smoke in cockpit/airplane
Decrease Pressure differential (to get smoke out?)
Pink circle with a number/letter on a taxiway
Geographic position marking for low vis (<1200 RVR) taxiing
Landing with a right Crosswind
Right Aileron
Left Rudder
More power for same descent rate
Flying approach in SLC vs ATL
Descent rate will be higher (Higher TAS/GS)
Outbound on the 175 Radial. Want to go to the 135 Course. What’s a good initial heading?
105 (vs. 080, 135, 145). 135 and 145 wouldn’t get you there.
On a VOR 01 appch. Bearing pointer is at 360. What do you do?
Correct to course with a heading of less than 360 degrees
Difference between EGT and turbine inlet temp
EGT measured at exit of last turbine stage (or the like)
TIT measured at exit of combustor prior to turbine (hottest part of a motor and very difficult to measure)
ITT Inter-turbine temp measured between N1/N2 Turbine.
Two identical aircraft and throttle in same position with identical weights. One is faster than the other. Which produces more thrust?
The faster one.
BTW…I don’t think weight matters.
Landing rwy 9. 5 miles behind heavy aircraft. Winds 360/6.
a. vortices will dissipate
b. downing will linger
c. upwind will linger
d. You have enough spacing
d. You have enough spacing
assuming you are NOT a small aircraft–if so, 6 miles would be required
Takeoff traffic spacing requirements
Same threshold = 2 minutes behind heavy jet
Intersection = 3 minutes
May not be “waived.”
< X kts crosswind vortices will linger on the upwind side
< 5 kts
Stator Blades are in between each blade in a compressor to aid ensuring
correct axial flow into each next stage.
…
Hydroplane speed
Dynamic: 9xSQRT(TirePressure) (tires already moving)
Reverted Rubber: 7.7xSQRT(TirePressure) (tires haven’t spun up–so at landing)
When do the Runway Edge Lights turn Red
Well, red lights mark end of runway. Yellow Prior.
RUNWAY edge lights are AMBER for the last 2000’ of the runway
CENTERLINE LIGHTS
lights alternate white/red at 3000’ remaining. They turn RED at 1,000 remaining.
When do you adjust MDA/DH?
Significantly colder or hotter than standard
What is the FAF?
Beginning of the final approach segment. ILS glideslope intersection should occur prior to the FAF
Dehavlin Comet Design flaw
Square windows lead to stress cracks–metal fatigue
Local altimeter is 29.85. You set 29.35. What are the ramifications?
You are indicating 500’ lower than your true altitude.
Balanced Field Takeoff
At v1, you lose a motor and takeoff/stop in same distance, which equals runway length.
GPS fails. INS:
a. completely unreliable
b. updated by VOR so doesn’t matter
c. Accurate if you get GS from Radar
B
On appch 5 miles from field. NDB, 090 approach course. You cross NDB and the tail shows 100 radial. Do you turn left or right to get on course?
Left Tail always rises
70% of 500 students graduate. Of those, 40% want to be pilots. How many want to be pilots
140
Load Factor
Lift/Weight
Where does the air in the engine start accelerating?
Compressor
In straight and level flight, you accelerate. What is the relationship with lift, weight, thrust and drag?
Thrust increases, then a/s increases. Parasite drag goes up, induced drag goes down (AOA decreases). As drag and new thrust are equal, plane stops accelerating.
You open all cross feed valves and turn on all boost pumps. Some pumps have more power than others. Which tanks will empty first?
Possibly the one with the more powerful boost pump. Other options included the motor with the higher fuel flow (doesn’t make sense unless you have boost pumps that can’t keep up with engine fuel demands)
How many g’s will there be in a turn with 30 deg of bank.
1.15 g.
When are you considered on the final appch portion of an appch?
At the GS/FAF.
How wide is a normal US airway?
8 nm. 4 nm either side.
Iced over pitot tube in descent reads what?
Descent or zero.
You are on final with a 15 kt crosswind. When you line up with the runway (i.e. stop crabbing) you need to: increase or decrease power
Increase power
Taxiway sign with a “T” and 18-36.
Taxiway Tango and 18 approach end to your left and 36 approach end on your right.
Know the runway marking for aim point and how far down the runway it is.
1,020’. These are the broad markings. Only one set.
QFE
Altimeter set to 0 on the field
How many statute miles in a nautical mile?
1.15 SM = 1 NM
ONE TEST QUESTION HAS YOU CONVERT!!!
You see airplane on horizon and TCAS shows range decreasing with no bearing change? What course are you on?
- Collision
- Diverging
- Parallel
- Random
Collision
Which has a higher TAS? 0.95M at 30K or 0.95M at 10K?
0.95M at 10K
Which temp gives the greatest Mach?
The COLDEST temp
T/F Mcrt can cause “Mach Tuck” effect
True. Disrupted airflow off wings creates a loss of downwash over elevator, causing a pitch down moment. (Cl moves aft which causes a nose down pitching moment)
What is an anti servo tab? Where is it mounted?
Mounted on the trailing edge of the stabilator. It moves the SAME direction as the stab. It’s purpose is to provide feedback on the yoke to prevent over control.
Trim Tab purpose.
To lessen stick forces. It moves the OPPOSITE direction as the elevator.
Leading edge devices–fixed slots
- Allow smooth flow over upper wing surface delaying airflow separation
- doesn’t increase camber
- delays stall to a higher AOA
Leading edge devices–slats
Move forward at high AOA creating an opening that allows air to flow over upper surface delaying separation.
-may increase camber and wing area
What increases turn radius?
Less bank
More Airspeed
Less g (load factor)
–although bank and g are related if a level turn
What increases turn rate?
More Airspeed
More G (load factor)
I think it is actually less speed.
Swept wings increase or decrease lateral stability?
Increase. It acts the same as dihedral effects.
Swept wings increase or decrease longitudinal stability?
Increase. It moves the Center of Lift (Center or Pressure) further aft.
Swept wings increase or decrease directional stability?
Increase. When a/c is rotated about vertical axis leading wing has more frontal area and more lift, therefore more drag, pulling wing aft–back to position.
Dutch Roll
Rolling/yawing moment (overshooting) produced by dihedral effect. “nose wandering” - think T-38 without yaw damper. The fix, increasing directional stability, results in spiral instability.
