What type of propellers do we have?
Hartzell
Max fuel capacity of the plane and how much is usable
112/106
Our flaps are ______ actuated and the flap extension speed (Vfe) is ____
Electrically, 130
What are the three ways we can check that the gear is down and locked?
Mirror
Gear Lights
Wiper window / Window box
Define a constant speed prop and the advantages it provides. Additionally, describe how the prop governor works
Propeller maintains a constant RPM, selected by the propeller control lever regardless of the airplane’s pitch attitude or throttle position. Changes in pitch from ported oil to/from hub.
What does an unfeathering accumulator do?
Nitrogen Precharge to push oil out, decrease blade angle and unfeather (300 psi)
Why doesn’t the propeller feather below 800 rpm?
Anti-feather lock pin

9
What is the amperage of our engine-driven alternators and how many do we have?
28V / 50 AMP, 2
Descrive the electrical system of the be-95
two 12 volt batteries producing 24-volts regulated for a 28 volt system utilizing a 50 amp alternator
Battery life if both alternators fail
It depends on the load, but roughly 30 minutes
How many buses does the electrical system on the be-95 aircraft have and how are they referenced
2 elec buses; avionics/main
Will the engines quit in flight if the alternator and batteries die in the aircraft? Why
No, eng ignition via magnetos independent of elec sys
What type of landing gear do we have on the aircraft?

Hyde sys controls:
Wheel / disc brakes
What is not a kind of hypoxia?
Hallucinogenic
What are airmets, sigmets , and convective sigmets?
Meteorological conditions forecasted for aviation. Each deals with different types and severity of weather and has their own valid times
How often do TAFs update?
Every 6 hours
