Chapter 2 Flashcards
What should you do if an instrument fails in IFR?
Control the aircraft using the rest of the instruments, report the malfunction to ATC ASAP, complete the flight in VMC (Visual Meteorological condition)
What do you do in a recover situation with a decreasing airspeed?
-full power
-lower the nose
-level the wings
What do you do in a recovery situation with an increasing airspeed?
-decrease power smoothly to idle
-level the wings
-increase pitch
(DO NOT RAISE THE NOSE BEFORE LEVELING THE PLANE, if in yellow arc make VERY SMOOTH pitch changes)
Q: What is the primary purpose of practicing unusual attitude recovery?
A: To help you learn to respond by instrument indications alone and not by feel.
What should you do if you experience a loss of vacuum-powered gyro instruments while in visual meteorological conditions (VMC)?
A: Elect to remain in VMC and deviate to an alternate airport if necessary.
What should you request if you experience vacuum failure in IMC and cannot reach VMC?
A: Request a no-gyro airport surveillance radar (ASR) approach.
When should you consider flying a standard instrument approach in IMC by partial panel?
.
A: Only after exhausting all other alternatives.
Q: How should your control inputs change when flying with a partial panel?
The control inputs should be the same, but you must interpret attitude from the indirect indications of performance instruments and use gentle, gradual control pressures.
What is an important technique to follow when making control inputs on a partial panel?
Use gentle pressure on the controls and adjust gradually as desired indications are reached on the performance instruments.
How does the airplane respond to a partial panel situation?
The airplane doesn’t know it’s on a partial panel, so your control inputs will be the same
What is a PAR?
Position approach
Controller provides highly accurate navigation guidance
What is ASR?
Surveillance approach
Less accurate than PAR and aligns you with extended runway
What is a no gyro approach ?
When directional gyro does not work (vacuum) u ask for a gyro approach, it’s detailed “STOP, TURN” when at final approach half standard rate turns are advised
What is a TPP?
Terminal procedures publication
All radar instrument approach minimums are published in the TPP for airports served by ASR or PAR
What is VMC?
Visual meteorological conditions
