Question

transponder

Answer 1

both transmitter and responder when on IFR flight plan or VFR flight following, ATC will have pilot squawk 4 digit transponder code when requested to ident, press button. codes to know 7500 = highjacking 7600 = lost comms 7700 = general emergency

Answer 2

can be powered by small battery (needs to be checked before each flight) - archer's have or by vacuum. engine driven pump will suck air through air inlet filter and directly through inlet ports in instruments to spin gyroscope like windmill

Answer 3

tells if vacuum system is creating enough suction to spin gyroscopes

Answer 4

attitude indicator uses principal of rigidity in space oriented horizontally heading indicator uses principal of rigidity in space oriented vertically gyroscope is liked mechanically to card on indicator turn coordinator uses principal of procession canted (arranged diagonally)

Answer 5

uses principal of rigidity in space oriented horizontally

Answer 6

uses principal of rigidity in space oriented vertically gyroscope is liked mechanically to card on indicator needs to be periodically aligned with magnetic compass

Answer 7

in a wing. sends information to heading indicator to automatically keep accurate

Answer 8

uses principal of procession canted (arranged diagonally) when airplane yaws, force is applied causing pointer to deflect L or R 2 parts. pointer (as mentioned above) indicates rate of turn inclometer - tells if turn is coordinated. looks like a level. is a ball in curved tube of glass filled with fluid. gravity will pull ball down and inertia will pull ball to the outside. both together will keep ball center. "step on the ball"

Answer 9

use pitot tube and static port - can be in two different spots or in 1 thing called pitot mast (archer has) airspeed indicator only instrument to use pitot tube altimeter vertical speed indicator

Answer 10

measures ram air. this air is fed to a diaphragm.

Answer 11

located where can intake relatively undisturbed air measure pressure of still, undisturbed air

Answer 12

only instrument to use pitot tube static port sends air to chamber aRound the diaphragm that the pitot rube sends air to. -this is to account for air pressure at different altitudes

Answer 13

works based on pressure differences. has a wafer in a chamber. no air goes in wafer. air static port goes in chamber around wafer. less pressure and wafer expands and needle goes up. altimeter has to be calibrated based on weather. using kollsman window as guide, adjust that number with adjustment knob to change where hands indicated on the dial.

Answer 14

window on altimeter with numbers for current air pressure from weather. using adjustment knob to set the number will change where altimeter hands indicate altitude.

Answer 15

work like altimeter. though differential pressure through calibrated leak. calibrated leak is hole in casing letting air out slowly. when climb air pressure from static port drops and diaphragm compresses. when level off, air leaks out and 0 climb indicated. lag of about 6 seconds

Answer 16

attitude and heading reference system substitutes for 6 pack. calculations are made in a super computer -attitude heading -rate of turn -coordination of turns (slip skid indicator or BRIC) gets help from magnetometer for heading

Answer 17

air data computer uses pitot static system but no diaphragms. how calculate?? computes - airspeed - altitude - vertical speed - outside air temperature (OAT)

Answer 18

angle of attack indicator supplemental to other indicators. placed near compass. shows how close to critical AOA

Answer 19

ram air enters through vent and through shroud around hot exhaust pipe

Answer 20

just watch out i guess. ? does it say when to be replaced on it?

Answer 21

carbureted engine needle is moved by cable attached to control. changes amount of fuel allowed to enter carburetor -throttle adjust a butterfly valve that changes amount of mixture entering engine fuel injected engine mixture is controlled in fuel-air control unit (or fuel servo) - mixture knob and throttle are both connected to fuel-air control unit - mixture then goes through fuel manifold valve (AKA the spider) then to each cylinder

Answer 22

consists of sensors on three axes that provide attitude information for aircraft, including roll, pitch, and yaw. These are sometimes referred to as MARG (Magnetic, Angular Rate, and Gravity)[1] sensors and consist of either solid-state or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers. They are designed to replace traditional mechanical gyroscopic flight instruments.

Answer 23

horizontal stabilizer vertical stabilizer rudder trim tabs elevator

Answer 24

fuselage powerplanmt wings landing gear empannage

Answer 25

vertical stabilizer trim tabs horizontal stabilizer elevator (stabilator = H stabilizer and elevator) rudder

Answer 26

push or pull on yoke makes elevator go up and down making nose go up and down

Answer 27

difference in how much aileron goes up V how much it goes down. *not because they move in different directions when turn yoke

Answer 28

the cabin. take fuel and burn it in a separate chamber. that (usually a tube) is surrounded by another space. air in that space is heated by the hot tube inside and then directed into the cabin.

Answer 29

a structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favorable ratio of lift to drag in flight, used as the basic form of the wings, fins, and horizontal stabilizer of most aircraft

Answer 30

ARROW, AV1ATE, ADs airworthiness certificate - birth certificate - supplemental type certificate if modifications made registration certificate -verify expiration date radio station license - if crossing US border operating handbook - POH. pilot's operating handbook weight and balance --------------------- AV1ATE documents of inspection annual VOR inspection only needed when IFR operations or intend to use VOR - inspector must hold at least a private pilot certificate - all methods of VOR check can be found FAR 91.171 1 hundred hour - if flown for hire - plus 10 to get to inspection point altimeter and static encoding - due every 24 calendar months (meaning last day of the month) transponder - goes with altimeter and static encoding - due every 24 calendar months (meaning last day of the month) ** altimeter and transponder done together to make sure that my information matches what ATC gets ELT - emergency locator transmitter - functionality every 12 calendar months - battery replaced at half way to expiration or 1 hour of cumulative use ----------- special flight permit may exist if miss annual. - fill out 8130-6 and give to FSDO (flight standards district office) - deemed safe to fly with restrictions - AKA ferry permit - usually requested so maintenance can be done - can also be requested to evacuate from dangerous areas or to conduct production flight tests ------------ ADs - airworthiness directives - for engine, propeller, airframe !! must be complied with (regulatory in nature)

Answer 31

ATOMATOFLAMES and POH (KOEL) altimeter tachometer oil pressure manifold pressure anti-collision lights temperature sensor (liquid cooled) oil temperature (air cooled) fuel gauge landing gear position airspeed indicator magnetic compass ELT seat belts 91.205 b see MEL (minimum equipment list) for things NOT required for flight. like if something is broken.

Answer 32

FLAPS and POH (KOEL) fuses (spares) or circuit breakers landing light (if for hire) anticollision lights position lights source of electricity 91.205 c see MEL (minimum equipment list) for things NOT required for flight. like if something is broken.

Answer 33

dihedral as apposed to anhedral

Answer 34

sharp bit on leading edge of wing. used to cause a small "early stall". this small stall causes wind buffeting that, optimally, is felt a few knots before the actual stall starts to happen.

Answer 35

air frame electrical system flight controls brakes
