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 is mach tuck?

Nose down pitch tendency due to a change in the position of the center of pressure resulting from a rearward movement of the shock wave which occurs as an aircraft in transonic flight accelerates beyond its limiting mach number (MMO). As an aircraft accelerates, the aerofoils create more lift

Does temperature affect mach number?

Yes

What is coffin corner?

The region of flight where a fast but subsonic fixed-wing aircraft's stall speed is near the critical mach number at a given gross weight and g-force loading

What are the differences between MEL and CDL?

MEL- required items to fly CDL (config deviation list)- IDs parts that can be missing along with associated operation limitations

Can any kind of oxygen be used in flight?

No, not if it isn't approved aviation oxygen

What are the two types of decompression?

Rapid/explosive

What is blue line / its significance?

Vyse - 108. Best climb rate single engine

What is the BTU of the janitrol heater

50,000 BTUs

How much fuel does the heater use, and which tank does it draw from?

1/2 gph from the left main tank

How can we cool the heater, How long does it have to cool down for?

Ram air in flight, blower on deck for 2 mins

Define "accelerate stop distance"

total distance required to accelerate the twin engine airplane to a specified speed and, assuming failure of an engine at the instant that speed is attained, to bring the airplane to a stop on the remaining runway

What acronym do we use to define the factors used in determining Vmc?

SMACFUM S-Standard Day; higher temp, lower air density, lower performance M- Most unfavorable weight (light) A- aft CG, lower CG C- Critical engine windmilling, greater Vmc F- Flaps T/O, Gear Up (keel effect) U- up to 5* bank, lower Vmc M- max power on operating eng

What acronym do we use to define the factors which determine which engine is "critical?"

P- P factor A- Accel Slip Stream S- Spiraling Slip Stream T- Torque

Define Absolute ceiling and Service ceiling

Absolute ceiling: Altitude where rate of climb is zero Service ceiling: Altitude where you can no longer maintain more than a 50fpm rate of climb

When do you start configuring on a precision approach?

When you are one dot below?

When do you start configuring on a non-precision approach?

2 nm before FAF

What is the number one cause of runway incursions?

loss of SA

what is the maximum airspeed in which we can simulate an aborted takeoff

half of Vmc
