Fluctuating Fuel Pressure Guage
Fluctuating fuel pressure when all other engine instruments indications remain normal is a likely indication of fuel vaporization.
Fuel pressure gauge reading LOW
Why would this be?
What can you do to help the situation?
Low indication could indicate a failure of the engine driven fuel pump,
in which case, you should switch on the boost pump.
When may passangers NOT be carried aboard an aircraft in flight
During flying training if the pilot does not hold an RPL
While practising emergency procedures
During low flying practice or flight testing
Arial Work ?
What does CAO stand for
Civil Aviation Order
A commercial pilot (helicopter) licence authorises the holder of
the licence:
fly a single pilot helicopter as PIC while engaged in any operation
fly a multi-pilot helicopter as PIC while engaged in any operation other than a charter, or regular public transport, operation
fly a helicopter as co-pilot while engaged in any operation.
MUST be endorsed on the helicopter to be able to fly it in operation
A commercial pilot (helicopter) licence authorises the holder of the
licence to fly a helicopter without holding a type endorsement for the
helicopter:
if…..
in dual flying-for the purpose of qualifying for a type endorsement
for the helicopter; or
(b) in any capacity-for the purpose of:
(i) testing the helicopter; or
(ii) carrying out an experiment in relation to the helicopter; if
the Authority has given the holder permission under
subregulation 5.50 (1) to fly the helicopter in those
circumstances.
How long can you NOT fly a helicopter as PIC without getting
a flight review?
2 Years
A commercial (helicopter) pilot must not fly a helicopter as pilot
in command if the helicopter is carrying any other person unless:
within 90 days of the actual flight
(i) carried out at least 3 circuits while flying a helicopter as PIC
or under supervision
(ii) satisfactorily completed a helicopter proficiency check;
(iii) passed a flight test conducted for the purpose of
the issue of a helicopter pilot licence
or the issue, or renewal, of a helicopter pilot rating;
What does the VOLTMETER read at the following stages
Pre engine start
Post engine start
Prior to start with the master switch on - the voltmeter will read the battery’s voltage.
After start, the voltmeter will read the alternators output voltage.
If the voltmeter was to have a drop in it’s reading what
would this indicate?
A drop in voltage indicates too high a load on the system or faulty alternator.
Explain the relationship between: IAS CAS EAS TAS
IAS -> Corrected for position and instrument error =
CAS -> Corrected for compressibility errors =
EAS -> Corrected with air density = TAS.
What does the following stand for?
IAS
CAS
EAS
TAS
IAS - Indicated Air Speed
CAS - Calabrated Air Speed
EAS - Equivelant Air Speed
TAS - True Air Speed
Describe and state the function of :
Fuel Flow Guage
Used in Fuel injector systems than carburettor systems
measurment of fuel pressure calibrated to a flow rate
Describe the function of ….
Fuel Flow Guage
Guage that measures of fuel pressure calibrated to a flow rate
Incorrect readings of a Fuel Flow Gauge
Partial Blockage will cause
Partial blockage of the fuel
line will cause incorrect readings
Pressure will RISE = Fuel Flow Rate HIGH
What happens to the fuel flow shoud the line be partially blocked
What effects does this have on the fuel flow gauge
The actual fuel flow rate will slow down or even stop
if there is a partial or full blockage on the line.
Inistial spike on the guage
On the Fuel Flow Gauge - Fluctuations
This could be caused by vaporisation of fuel
What type of fire extinguisher can you use on an
electrical fire?
Why?
Halon 1211 or otherwise known as BCF
Non-Conductive
Conditions that promote Carburettor Icing
High Humidity
BELOW 20 Deg C
Relative Humidity over 80%
Low Power Setting
What is a boost pump & it’s operation
A boost pump will keep the pressure on the
fuel and prevent vaporization of the fuel.
Malfunction or Faliure of Magnetos
When can you check for these & what are the signs
You will notice a larger than permitted drop in RPM
during startup testing of the mags.
Must not be flown - seek mechanical assistance.
