Q

What Newton and Bernoulli Discover?

A

Newton: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Bernoulli: If the velocity of air is increased at a particular point, the static pressure of the air is decreased at that point.

Q

What are the four factors that contribute to yawing tendency?

A
  1. Torque reaction to the engine and propeller
  2. Propeller’s gyroscopic effect
  3. Corkscrewing effect (propeller slipstream)
  4. Asymmetric loading of the propeller (P-factor)

Q

What is Torque Reaction?

A

The aircraft rotates opposite to the propeller creating a rolling tendency left which yaws the aircraft right

1200

A

7700 Emergency
7600 Two-way radio failure
7500 Hi jacked notification

19
Q

Four Sight Limitations

A

Visual Accommodation- (2-3 sec to focus)
Empty Field Myopia-Nothing to focus on in view
Binocular Vision-minds tends ignore things that both eyes don’t see
Narrow Field of Vision-you can only focus and classify objects in a 15 degree area. (Tunnel Vision)

20
Q

Midair collisions are greatly diminished when?

A

You scan 60 degrees left and right of center and 10 degrees up and down of the horizon

21
Q

Types of scan patterns

A

Front to side

Side to side

22
Q

Types of Hydroplaning

A

Dynamic - Water
Viscous - Film of oil or other foreign material
Rubber - layer steam generated from burning rubber

23
Q

Primary purpose of high lift devices?

A

Increase the coefficient of lift and reduce stall speed

24
Q

What is adverse yaw?

A

Downward deflected aileron produces more lift and drag, while the other aileron produce less lift and drag resulting in a veering movement toward up going wing.

25
Q

Trim Requirements for Rudder and Elevator

A

Acceleration Left/Down
Deceleration Right/Up
Power Addition Right/Down
Power Reduction Left/Up

“Airspeed Trumps Power”

26
Q

What is the Blossom Effect?

A

An aircraft seemingly stationary not moving or growing in size for a long time, and then suddenly bloom into a huge mass filling the canopy

27
Q

Environmental factors effecting vision

A

Lighting-back lighted
Contrast-airplanes hard to see in cluttered background
Weather-haze/glare

28
Q

What the performance instruments

A 
Attitude Indicator
Altimeter
VSI
Airspeed Indicator
Heading Indicator
Turn and Bank Indicator
29
Q

Types of Turns

A

Shallow-returns to neutral
Moderate-stays deflected and stable
Steep-increases angle of bank

30
Q

During turn pilot should remain ______ throughout the Turn.

A

Upright and centered in the seat

31
Q

What is the 1/3 rule?

A

Start the rollout 1/3 of the AOB being used.

32
Q

What is a skid or a slip?

A

Skid-when an aircraft slides sideways from the center of a turn

Slip-when an aircraft slides sideways toward the center of a turn

33
Q

Drift Angle

A

Difference between the actual heading and the ground track

34
Q

What is crabbing?

A

Turning into the wind at an angle to produce a desired ground track.

1 degree of crab per 3 knots of crosswind
Twice as much crab on downwind then on upwind

35
Q

What is the primary factor which affects an airplane’s ability to climb?

A

Excess power available

36
Q

Climbing Turn Factors

A

Decrease in effective lift relative to climbs and turns
Degree of bank should be neither too steep or to shallow
A constant airspeed,rate of turn and AOB must be stress
Greater tendency towards nose heaviness
Attention should be diverted from the airplanes nose and divided among all references equally

37
Q

What is the ADB and MAF?

A

ADB-Aircraft Discrepancy Book-Aircraft maintenance for the last 10 flights

MAF-Maintenance Action Form

38
Q

Who many joker fuels and bingo fuels per sortie?

A

1 joker and 1 bingo at least

39
Q

Who is the commanding officer and what is his responsibilities?

A

Pilot who signs for the plane and is responsible for the safety of the aircraft, equipment and the crew. Must conduct through preflight inspection.

40
Q

Takeoff Gust Factor

A

Rotation Speed + 1/2 gust factor

41
Q

What does “Respect the Seat” mean?

A

Q

42
Q

What is the cause of a stall?

A

Excessive AOA
