Q

PITOT-STATIC SYSTEMS
How does the airspeed indicator work?

A

It compares the ram air pressure in the pitot tube with the static pressure in the static port

Q

PITOT-STATIC SYSTEMS
HOW DOES THE VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR WORK?

A

It has a calibrated bleed hole connected to the static port. A change in pressure through the bleed hole will make the needle move up and down

Q

How does the altimeter work?

A

It has a diaphragm that changes in size with a change in static pressure. When the diaphragm changes size it will cause the needle to move.

Q

Does this plane have anti ice or de-icing capabilities?

A

Yes, it has anti-icing because the pitot heat that heats the pitot tube and keeps the altimeter working, defrosters, carb heat, the static ports are raised, we also have alternate air if the air cleaner ices, alternate static to keep the static system working

Q

What should you do if low oil pressure?

A

Reduce power and check oil temp.

If temp. Is rising, engine failure is eminent.

Select an emergency landing area

If oil temp. Stays normal, it may be gage, land as soon as practical using minimal power.

Q

What should you do if oil pressure is normal, but High oil temp?

A

Reduce power

Increase airspeed (may need to lower nose) for better cooling

Enrich the mixture

Open cowl flaps

19
Q

To stay airworthy what needs to be inspected?

A

A- Annual inspection - 12 mo.

V- VOR - every 30 days

1- 100 hr. - for hire or rent

A- Altimeter - 24 mo.

T- Transponder - 24 mo.

E- ELT inspection - 12 mo.

S- pitot static Systems

20
Q

What are the types of AD’s

A

NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making) (fallowed by final rule)

Final rule (with a request for comments)

Emergency

21
Q

What kind of landing gear do you have?

A

Tricycle, fixed, spring steal mains

22
Q

Does anything use hydronic fluid?

A

Yes, my brakes

23
Q

What kind of engine does the plane have?

A

It has a continental O-470-R, 230hp, 6 cylinder, horizontally opposed cylinders, 470 means 470 cubic inches, it has a 2,600 break rpm

24
Q

What is a TRSA

A

Terminal Radar Service Area

25
Q

What kind of propeller do you have?

A

It’s an aluminum, 82”, Mccally constant speed prop

26
Q

What is Vacuum for?

A

An engine driven vac. pump drives the artificial horizon (attitude indicator) and the D.G. (Directional gyro)

On the suction gage, it will have a green arch for normal operating indication

27
Q

How can you tell if you have carb ice?

A

With a constant speed prop you will see a drop in manifold pressure. With a fixed pitch prop, drop in RPM

28
Q

When can carb ice happen?

A

It can happen between 20-70 F with high humidity

29
Q

What should you do if experiencing carb ice?

A

Activate the carb heat or alternate air. Some alternate air is automatic.

30
Q

What will happen when activating carb heat with carb ice?

A

It will drop in RPM/ manifold pres. fixed/ constant speed prop. Engine will run rough as ice melts. As it clears engine roughness will improve. When it stabilizes, the ice is gone

31
Q

What do you do in fuel starvation?

A

Best glide, switch to fullest tank, enriching the mixture, turn on aux fuel pump (if it has one), try the primer to pump fuel into the cylinders.

If all fuel is gone, close throttle, turn off fuel and mags
Squawk 7700, and put out mayday on 121.5 (guard)

32
Q

What are the steps of overheated engine or roughness?

A

Reduce power, increase airspeed (reduce climb, or lower nose), enrich mixture, open cowl flaps.

This could be caused by pre-ignition, or detonation

33
Q

What is pre-ignition?

A

Is caused by hot carbon build up on a piston igniting the fuel before the spark plug fires

34
Q

What is detonation?

A

Fuel exploding uncontrolled due to octane being too low

35
Q

What if you have an alternator failure?

A

If the ammeter shows a discharge, reset the master switch and alternator breaker.

If that doesn’t work, shut off all non essential equipment and land asap.

No electrical is needed to keep engine running

36
Q

If you have an electrical failure, will your engine quit?

A

No. The magnetos power the engine

37
Q
