CO102 Flashcards
What is the definition for inverted flight?
Any pitch or bank angle exceeding 90°
When recovering the aircraft from inverted flight, you will need to _________ to an upright level flight attitude with constant airspeed.
perform a coordinated roll towards the most sky
If you encounter low airspeed during the roll portion of the inverted flight recovery ____________.
allow the nose to fall
When the aircraft is in a nose-low attitude, it will gain airspeed while decreasing altitude. What do you want to do in this situation.
Recover the aircraft to a level flight path as soon as possible.
What is the maximum operating airspeed limitation, VMO?
316 KIAS
Duing the nose-low recovery you should not apply back stick pressure until the wings have reached a point where they are less than _________ to the horizon.
90°
If aircraft appears to be in an excessive nose-low attitude, there is a potential for excessive altitude loss. To avoid this loss of altitude ___________.
place the PCL in the IDLE position and extend the speed brake as necessary.
To recover from a nose-high attitude you must adjust the power to ___________ and initiate a coordinated roll towards the __________ horizon while applying _________ stick pressure.
MAX; nearest; back
Depending on the initial airspeed and attitude of the aircraft at the beginning of the nose-high recovery, a wings-level inverted attitude may be attained. What should you do if this occurs?
Roll to an upright attitude as the nose approaches the horizon.
Under what conditions should you perform an out-of-control flight recovery?
Disorienting nose-high situations and/or aircraft not responding normally.
When recovering the aircraft from inverted flight, you will need to perform a coordinated roll in the shortest direction __________ to an upright level flight attitude with constant airspeed.
towards the most sky.
True or False. If you encounter low airspeed during the roll portion of an inverted flight recovery, you should not prevent the nose from falling.
True
The aircraft is in an unintentional nose-low attitude gaining airspeed while decreasing altitude. Once you recognize this scenario you will want to ________.
recover the aircraft to a level flight attitude as soon as possible.
During a nose-low recovery, you do NOT want to apply back stick pressure until the wings have reached a point where they are less than _________ to the horizon.
90°
Which of the following is the proper procedure when initiating a nose-high recovery with adequate airspeed?
Adjust power to MAX, initiate a coordinated roll towards the nearest horizon and apply back stick pressure.
