CHECK RIDE PREP Flashcards
What is required for day VFR?
FAR 91.205 says I need -
Airspeed indicator
Tachometer
Oil pressure gage
Manifold pressure gage
Altimeter
Temperature gage for each engine
Oil temperature gage
Fuel gage
Landing gear indicator (retract)
Anti collision lights
Magnetic cumpass
Elt
Safety belts
What must a private pilot carry with him?
A valid pilot cert.
photo ID
current medical
How does a private pilot stay current?
Accomplish a flight review every 24 months
To carry passengers, make 3 take offs and landings with in 90 days (must be to full stop for night) (must be to full stop in a tail wheel)
What is night for currency?
One hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise
What documents need to be in the plane to fly?
Airworthiness cert.
Registration cert.
Radio station license
Owners manual or pilot operating hand book (POH)
Weight and balance
What are some reasons for getting a Ferry Permit from the local FSDO
Flying to get repairs
Delivering aircraft
Flight testing new aircraft
Evacuating Aircraft from Disaster
Traffic patterns
600-1,500’ AGL
Enter a 45* to the downwind (also use a mid field entry at TPA + 500’)
Exit strait out or at a 45* turn towards the pattern
TPA’s and directions are specified in the AFD
Class D control towers
Should be called 5-10 miles outside of their airspace
Get ATIS first and include with initial call
Read back all instructions
Have airport diagram
Ask for progressive taxi if unfamiliar
Do not cross hold short lines
Look before crossing runways
Keep track other aircraft in and outbound
Do not program electronics while taxing
Keep eye out for obstacles
Keep on center line
Know airport signage
Aircraft Systems - Enviromental
How does the heat and “a/c” work
Heater, (pull leaver, allows heat to come in by manifold) no ac, air vent though
Aircraft systems - What kind of flaps & how they operate, degree settings
Slotted, electric, 10,20,40 degrees
PITOT-STATIC SYSTEMS
How does the airspeed indicator work?
It compares the ram air pressure in the pitot tube with the static pressure in the static port
PITOT-STATIC SYSTEMS
HOW DOES THE VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR WORK?
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
How does the altimeter work?
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.
Does this plane have anti ice or de-icing capabilities?
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
When does the pitot-static system and altimeter need checked
Every 24 months
What are other types of de-icing?
Pneumatic boots on the wings and tail, weeping wings, heated props and windshields
What should you do if low oil pressure?
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.
What should you do if oil pressure is normal, but High oil temp?
Reduce power
Increase airspeed (may need to lower nose) for better cooling
Enrich the mixture
Open cowl flaps
To stay airworthy what needs to be inspected?
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
What are the types of AD’s
NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making) (fallowed by final rule)
Final rule (with a request for comments)
Emergency
What kind of landing gear do you have?
Tricycle, fixed, spring steal mains
Does anything use hydronic fluid?
Yes, my brakes
What kind of engine does the plane have?
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
What is a TRSA
Terminal Radar Service Area
