Aircraft Operations/Functions/Procedures Flashcards
A below glide slope indication from a pulsating approach slope indicator is a
Pulsating Red Light
A precaution for the operation of an engine equipped with a constant speed propeller is to…
Avoid high manifold pressure settings with low RPM
A wing can be stalled
In any airspeed or altitude
If your GPS recover is equipped with WAAS “ Wide Area Augmentation System” your position accuracy is
Less than three meters
VSO is defined as the
Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a Standard rate turn to the right from at South heading in the Norther Hemisphere
The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring
When the course deviation indicator […|…] needle is centered during an omnireciver check using a VOR test signal, the omnibearing selector and the To/From indicator should read
0* From or 180* To regardless of the pilots position from the VOG
The term Angle of attack is defined as the angle
Between the wing chord line and the relative wind
As the airplane slows down in flight the Angle of attack must be
Increase to maintain altitude
If it is necessary to set the altimeter from from 29.15 ton29.85, what change occurs
700 foot increase in indicated altitude
How is the stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration symbolized
VSO
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will
Remains the same regardless of gross weight
Which V speed represents Maximum landing gear extended speed
VLE
What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on an airspeed indicator
Maneuvering speed
As you are climbing to you cruise altitude you realize you forgot to lean the mixture control. What happens to fuel/air mixture entering the engine
The fuel-air mixture becomes richer because the density of air decreases while the amount of fuel remains constant
Most US built aircraft engines rotate the propeller clockwise, as viewed from the pilots seat. When the aircraft wheels are on the ground during the takeoff roll, torque reaction causes
More weight to be placed on the left main landing gear.
When the aircraft wheels are on the ground during the takeoff roll, an additional turning moment around the vertical axis is induced by torque reaction. As the left side of the aircraft is being forced down by torque reaction more weight is being placed on the left main landing gear
Lateral or roll stability is normally achieved by
The upward pits of the wings called dihedral
An example of a category of aircraft would be
Transport Normal, and utility
An example of a type of aircraft would be
DC-7, Cessna 172, and F-16
Excessively high engine temperatures either in air or on the ground wil
Cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage
What causes an airplane “except T tail” to pitch nose down when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted
The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced
If “Receiver Autonomous Integrate Monitoring” (RAIM) capability is lost in flight
The pilot has no reassurance of the accuracy of the the GPS position
What action can a pilot take to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating during a climb
Reduce rate of climb and increase airspeed
RCIA
Really, Cool, Infiniti, Auction
Reduce, Climb, Increase, Airspeed
VSO is defined as the
Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration
