Check Ride Prep G: Operations and Systems Flashcards
PA.I.G.K1a: Primary Flight Controls
Vertical Axis: Yaw
Longitudinal Axis: Roll
Lateral Axis: Pitch
Primary Controls:
Rudder, Ailerons, Stabilizer (Elevator)
2 Types of Ailerons:
1. Differential: one goes higher while the other goes lower
2. FRISE
PA.I.G.K1b: Secondary Flight Controls
Flaps, Trim
(Power, retractable gear, and carb heat)
PA.I.G.K1c: Powerplant and Propeller
4 Stroke Engine
LYCOMING 0-235 FIXED PITCH DIRECT DRIVE AIRCOOLED ENGINE RATED to 112 hp & 2600 RPM
LYCOMING: (manufacturer)
0-235 horizontally opposed 235 in3 of displacement of all 4 cylinders
Direct drive means the propellor is attached to the crank shaft
Propellor:
2 Blade Fixed Pitch Sensenich Propellor 72/70
Throttle controls butterfly valve
Butterfly valve: allows set mixt. of fuel and air into engine
Throttle 1/4” Just enough fuel/air to sustain start but not enough to flood engine
Mix. Rich: Full amount of fuel into engine
Prime 2x: Dumps raw fuel into 2 of 4 cylinders
Master: Battery + Alternator
Starter Engage R: Right mag is “energized”, left mag has P lead
Starter Engage L: Left mag is “energized”, right mag has P-lead
Both: Both energized
Start: Bindex starter engages flywheel & tries to start system
PA.I.G.K1d: Landing Gear
Tricycle Fixed Gear
Mains: “single leaf steel springs connected directly to main wing spar”
Nose: Air/Oil OLEO preferred 3” extension
PA.I.G.K1e: Fuel, Oil, Hydraulic
Oil: lubes and cools
-Max: 6
-Min: 2
-School Min: 4.5
-100W summer
- 20W 50 winter
Hydraulic: diagram
Fuel: diagram
PA.I.G.K1f: Electrical
12V 25 Amp Battery
14V 60 Amp Alternator
With master switch ON, the alternator is energized, the magnetos are energized. Turning the key to the start position, the starter is engaged, turning the flywheel, which turns the propeller. Once this happens, the starter dis-engages the Bindex starter switch and the alternator starts to replenish the battery.
PA.I.G.K1g: Avionics
none
PA.I.G.K1h: Pitot Static, Vacuum Pressure, and Associated Flight Instruments
RAM air goes to the Airspeed indicator and the static air goes to the Airspeed indicator, Altimeter, and the VSI
Vacuum:
Air is sucked through a filter, located inside under the the instrument panel, through the heading indicator and attitude indicator to a pump located in the back of the engine and is vented overboard. There is a suction gauge to read the pump output.
PA.I.G.K1i: Enviornmental
Heat for the cabin interior and defroster system is provided by a heater shroud attached to the exhaust
Fresh air intakes are located on each side of the fuselage
PA.I.G.K1j: Deicing and Anti-icing
- Pitot Heat
- Defrost
- Carb Heat
-rough engine / loss of RPM
1. Decrease RPM
2. Greater Decrease in RPM
due to water
3. Gradual Increase in RPM
PA.I.G.K1k: Water Rudders (ASES,AMES)
None
PA.I.G.K1l: Oxygen System
-Above 12,500’ for <30 min: crew must have oxygen
-Above 14,000’: crew must use oxygen
-Above 15,000’: oxygen must be provided to PAX
Master switch
2 switches: battery and alternator
Battery master activates a relay which connects the battery to the main electrical bus
Alternator master activates the alternator by applying power to the alternator field circuit
Magnetos
create spark, boost and then distribute the spark.
Can fly with the master switch off because magnetos are self generating.
Fuel system
32 gallon total.
30 useable.
Fuel drains from main tank through the fuel selector valve, strainer, to electric fuel pump, engine driven fuel pump, and carburetor.
System incorporates a primer valve and 3 fuel drains to check for debris and water. 3 drains are located under each tank and at the fuel strainer
