Controllability Check Flashcards
If you are unable to manipulate your control surfaces, the rear cockpit will also be unable to (T/F)?
False
What two conditions should you not slow the aircraft under?
Do not slow the aircraft to a stall or to the point that full stick or rudder is required to maintain aircraft control
What is the absolute minimum airspeed or AOA you can slow the aircraft to?
90 knots or 15.5 AOA (activation of the stick shaker), whichever is higher
Should you change the aircraft configuration after the controllability check?
No
What power range should you use during the controllability check?
IDLE to MAX
What speed of crosswind will make directional control on final approach extremely difficult if a jammed rudder condition exists?
5 knots
What type of approach should you fly if you are experiencing a jammed rudder?
No flap straight in
What should you do in the event of a go around with a jammed rudder?
Smooth PCL application as to not exacerbate directional control issues
What speeds have been accomplished for landing flap touchdowns?
110 KIAS
What speeds have been accomplished for no flap touchdowns?
130 KIAS
What should you anticipate with landing speeds above 100 KAIS
Increased directional sensitivity
What do high touchdown airspeeds increase the potential for?
Blown tires, brake fade, and/or overheated brakes
What may aid in directional control upon touchdown?
Differential braking
What is the minimum altitude AGL you should climb to (if practical) for the controllability check?
6500 Ft
What airspeed should you fly on final approach?
Minimum controllable airspeed plus 20 knots
