Q

Under what airspeed does the T-45C have a mild dutch roll tendency?

A

200 KIAS

18
Q

Stall characteristics of a swept wing design

A

Poor lateral stability, wing tips stall first

19
Q

Approach configuration stall

A

29 - 30 AOA

20
Q

How much force is required to counter a rudder blowout?

A

250 lbs

21
Q

(T/F) Spiral divergence in a clean configuration is possible.

A

FALSE, need an asymmetric load.

22
Q

During flap extension the airplane tends to?

A

Balloon, settle, have a reduction in stability, (pitch slightly nose down)

23
Q

(T/F) Pulling out of a dive decelerating .95 mach - .85 mach the T-45C will have a tendency to pitch up.

A

TRUE

24
Q

25
Q

Having two pilots in the T-45C shift the CG _______ and make it ____ stable.

A

Forward, More

26
Q

On-Speed AOA clean?

A

17 Units

27
Q

CG location and stability are effected by?

A

Consumption of fuel and raising/lowering the landing gear (configuration changes)

28
Q

Inverted spin characteristics

A

0 AoA, Negative G, Turn needle in direction of spin

29
Q

Approach Stall Buffet

AoA/knots until stall

A

28/1

30
Q

Clean Stall Buffet

AoA/knots untill stall

A

25/1-2

31
Q

What makes the T-45C different from other aircraft when dealing with crosswinds?

A

The upwind wing will generate more lift and rise which places more weight and wheel drag on the downwind landing gear. This additional drag produces more friction at the downwind wheel and the T-45 TURNS AWAY from the crosswind

32
Q

Maximum G’s below 5000 MSL

A

6.5

33
Q

Maximum G’s above 5000 MSL

A

7.33

34
Q

Maximum negative G’s above .80 Mach

A

-1.0

35
Q

Maximum negative G’s below .80 Mach

A

-3.0

36
Q

At approximately 0.92 Mach either wing may become heavy due to a normal shock wave in the wing tip area, reducing wing tip effectiveness. The aircraft will begin a slow roll. How much lateral stick deflection is necessary to counter the roll?

A

Up to 3/4 lateral stick deflection may be required to maintain wings level flight.

37
Q

45 degree upright spin descent rate?

A

15,000 fpm

38
Q

What effect do external stores have on stall AOA?

A

Stall occurs about one unit AOA lower with external stores loaded.

39
Q

“Which of the following is an upright spin NOT characterized by?”

A

“Recovery AOA increasing past 5 units”

40
Q

Pro’s and Con’s of Vortex Generators

A

Pro: In development of the T-45, it was necessary to add vortex generators to prevent wing downwash from adversely affecting stabilator performance in the transonic flight regime.

Vortex generators also improve the aircraft’s slow-speed flight performance by redirecting wing airflow and reenergizing the boundary layer.

Con: During high-speed flight, it is undesirable to place vortex generators on any aircraft surface. All add-on protuberances increase aircraft parasite drag.

41
Q

Where should you attempt to stop the aircraft from Max Abort Speed?

A

on remaining runway without using over run or arresting gear
