C-172 Maneuvers Flashcards
Describe power on stall (departure configuration)
Pre maneuver checks radio call and clearing turns done
- carburetor heat - on,
- power set 1200 RPM
As plane slows increase pitch
- airspeed hits Vr (55 knots), carb heat off, full power
- PF will announce stall or stall warning and initiate recovery
Recovery
- decrease angle of attack, level the wings, full power
- pitch for attitude with minimal loss of altitude and a positive rate of climb
- pitch for speed of Vx (60) or Vy (76)
- after recovery normal climb speed of 80 will be used
Describe Power-on Stalls (takeoff configuration)
- altitude to be recovered by 1,500 feet AGL
- premaneuver checklist complete
- carb heat on
- throttle to 1500 rpm
- airspeed 110 knots or lower - flaps 10 degrees
- during power reduction pitch back to maintain altitude
- at Vr (51 knots) carb heat off set throttle to full power
Max pitch is 25 degrees - PF will announce stall or stall warning and recover
Recovery:
- pitch forward, level wings add power simultaneously
- pitch for attitude with minimal loss of altitude and
Positive climb rate
- at or above 60 knots retract flaps
- PF will establish climb attitude for a speed of 60 (Vx) or 76 (Vy)
- recovery is completed normal climb of 80 knots
What altitude should be used to overfly a non towered airport with turbine aircraft operations?
2,000 feet AGL (500 feet above 1,500 foot pattern altitude)
Describe pre-maneuver checklist
- appropriate altitude for maneuver
- fuel selector - both
- mixture - as required (below 75% or above 3,000 foot altitudes should not normally require full rich)
- turn on landing light, position lights and anticollision lights
- engine primer in and locked
- engine gauges in the green
- seatbelts/harnesses and baggage fastened and secure
What is considered an imminent stall?
Characteristics such as,
Buffeting, stall warning horn, rapid decay of control effectiveness
What are the characteristics of a stall?
A sudden loss of control effectiveness, excessive sink rate, or sudden decrease in pitch attitude
Describe power off stall (approach configuration)
Premaneuver checks, clearing turns, radio call complete
- altitude recovery no lower than 1500 feet AGL
- carb heat on throttle to 1500 rpm
- slow aircraft below 110 knots for 10 degrees of flaps
- establish a stabilized descent at 65 knots
- set throttle to idle
- increase pitch to induce stall
- announce stall or stall warning
Recovery
- decrease angle of bank, full power level wings
- pitch for attitude with minimal loss of altitude and positive rate of climb
- flap retraction at or above 60 knots
- establish climb of Vx or Vy (60) or (76)
Describe power off stall (landing configuration)
- premaneuver checklist, clearing turns, and radio call complete
- 1,500 feet altitude
- carb heat on power set 1500 rpm
- as airspeed decreases in flap operating flap range add flaps in 10 degree increments
- establish a descent at 65 knots power idle
- increase pitch to a landing flare
Recovery
- reduce angle of attack, level wings, full power carb heat off
- set flaps to 20 degrees
Retract flaps to 10 degrees obtain a speed of 60 knots or 76 knots
- once above 60 knots retract flaps
Resume normal climb at 80 knots
Describe intentional spin
Premaneuver checks, radio call, clearing turns complete
- select altitude to recover by 3,000 feet AGL
- secure all loose objects and tighten belts but to not hinder duties
- carb heat on, power idle
- just before stall full rudder in direction of spin desired
Recovery
- power idle
- ailerons neutral
- full rudder in opposite direction of rotation
- apply a positive brisk and forward motion on the elevator control to break the stall
- after rotation stops - neutralize rudder
- elevator control as required to resume normal cruise flight
What are the limitations in conducting intentional spins?
- no rear seats occupied
- no baggage loads
- dual flight only
- must be in utility category only
- spins with flaps extended are prohibited
Describe holding procedures
Within 3 minutes from fix, reduce speed to 90 knots (2100 RPM)
- aircraft is in cruise configuration
- determine entry prior to reach fix and enter hold by FAA standards
- report time, altitude, location of fix at clearance limit time
- leg times 1 minute below 14,000 feet MSL
1. 5 minutes above 14,000 feet MSL - start time over or abeam fix whichever occurs later
- for drift correction triple the inbound correction on outbound (8 degrees inbound, 24 degrees outbound
- advice ATC immediately if any airspeed change or hold cannot be completed
- advise of atc when departing the hold as well as time leaving the clearance limit
What are the performance standards for a hold?
+/- 10’degrees on heading, +/- 10 knots on airspeed,+/- 100 feet on altitude, racial or bearing within 3/4 deflection on CDI needle
Describe a precision approach
- 3 minutes prior to IAF reduce speed to 90 knots (2100 RPM)
- crossing IAF note time
- fly specific time outbound 4 minutes (unless depicted or told otherwise)
Established on approach
- one dot below glideslope, set carb heat - on, set 10 degrees of flaps, reduce power to 1900 RPM
- before landing checklist complete must be determined
- unstable approach, or Glideslope fails execute a missed approach
- make standard calls
- make additional callout deviations
What are the precision approach callouts?
localizer alive Glideslope alive 500 feet above da 200 feet above da 100 feet above da
Deviation callouts Localizer more than 1/2 dot Glideslope more than 1/2 dot Airspeed deviation greater than 5 knots Sink rate in excess of 1,000 feet per minute
Describe non precision approach procedure
- 3 minutes from IAF reduce speed to 90 knots (2100 rpm)
- start time at IAF
- 4 minutes for procedure turn inbound or unless depicted or told otherwise
Inbound
1/2 mile from FAF or if no FAF inbound course, carb heat - on, flaps set 10 degrees, reduce throttle to 1600 RPM
- maintain 90 knots, establish descent at 700 FPM or as required
- verify aircraft is in landing configuration by verbally stating before landing checklist complete
