Question 1

Aircraft Taxi

Answer 1

1. Correctly perform procedures and checks IAW the CL.
2. Properly use power, ground fine or beta and brakes to maintain a safe taxi speed.
3. Controls direction and speed without excessive use of brakes.
4. Taxies so as to avoid other aircraft and hazards.

Question 2

Steep Turns (MRRAA)

Answer 2

1. Maintain angle of bank within 45 to 60 degrees.
2. Roll out on the desired heading +/- 10 degrees.
3. Roll into a coordinated turn of 180 or 360 degrees with a bank of at least 45 degrees and MAX of 60 degrees.
4. Apply smooth coordinated pitch, bank, and power to maintain altitude and airspeed.
5. Avoid any indication of an approaching stall, abnormal flight attitude, or exceeding and structural or operating limitation during any part of the maneuver.

Question 3

Slow Flight (SAS)

Answer 3

1. Stablize and maintain the airspeed at Vref +5/-0 KTS, no lower than Vmca.
2. Avoid any indication of an approaching stall.
3. Select an altitude that will allow the task to be completed no lower than 4,000 feet AGL.
   Note: Intentional or simulated engine failures below Vsse are prohibited.

Question 4

Touch-and-Go Landing

Answer 4

With an IP, access to CL, non-contaminated runway, Accel-Stop + 2,000 feet.

1. Attain landing approach speed (Vref) (plus one-half the wind gust spread) +/- 5 KIAS.
2. Maintain at or above the approach angle of the FMS, ILS, VASI, or PAPI when available.
3. Execute touchdown within the first one-third of the runway available for landing with the desired runway track between the main gear during landing and rollout.
4. Maintain runway centerline between the main landing gear after touchdown and during rollout.

Question 5

Balked Landing

Answer 5

1. Ensure the aircraft has cleared all obstacles before resuming normal climb.
2. Resume a normal climb once clear of obstacles.
3. Retract the flaps from full DOWN to APPROACH (if applicable) at or above Full Flap +10 KIAS.
4. Retract flaps from APPROACH to UP at or above Vyse.

Question 6

Unusual Attitude Recovery

Answer 6

1. Correctly recognize and confirm aircraft attitude.

2. Without delay, use the correct recovery procedure (sequence) for aircraft attitude.

Question 7

Approaches to Stall (CCR)

Answer 7

No lower than an altitude that will allow a recovery to be safely completed at a minimum of 4,000 feet AGL

1. Correctly recognize the approach to a stall.
2. Correctly perform recovery procedures.
3. Recover with a minimim loss of altitude.

Question 8

Single-Engine Go-Around

Answer 8

1. Perform single-engine go-around IAW the operator’s manual.
2. Make the decision to go-around prior to placing flaps to full.
3. Maintain up to 5-degree bank into operating engine (ball one-half off center).
4. Maintain Vyse until safe climb out is established (clear of obstacles).

Question 9

Engine Failure During Take-Off

Answer 9

1. Maintain positive aircraft control.
2. Confirm the failed engine’s propeller feathered.
3. Maintain up to 5-degree bank angle into operating engine (ball one-half off center).
4. Obtain and maintain the appropriate airspeed for the segment being flown (takeoff safety speed [V2 or Vyse] +5/-0 KIAS).
5. Complete and verify the procedure with the CL above 400 feet AGL.

Question 10

Engine Failure During Fianl Approach

Answer 10

1. Maintain positive aircraft control.
2. Apply sufficient power to maintain the appropriate airspeed for the distance remaining.
3. Maintain approach angle.
4. Complete and verify the procedure with the CL, time permitting.

Question 11

Rejected Takeoff

Answer 11

1. Review malfunctions that would be reason for a rejected takeoff prior to decision speed/rotation speed V1.
2. Determine if sufficient runway remains for a rejected takeoff.
3. Safely stop the airplane on the remaining runway.
4. Maintain centerline between the main landing gear.

Question 12

Reasons for Rejected Takeoff

Answer 12

1. Engine Malfunction
2. Flat Tire
3. Chip Detector
4. Fire Light Illuminates
5. Oil Pressure Light Illuminates (if equipped)
6. Smoke/Smell in the Cockpit
7. Abnormal Flight Control Inputs Required or Feedback in Controls
8. Loss of Directional control
