Q

Caution must be exercised when using the Mixture control Leaver. Why is that?

A

Mixture control Leaver must return to full rich, before the RPM can drop to a point where the Engine Cuts Out

26
Q

Under “ENGINE RUN UP”, how do you know if idle mixture is excessively rich or too lean?

A

An RPM increase of 50 RPM or more indicates an excessively Rich Idle Mixture

An Immediate decrease in RPM, if not preceded by an increase, indicates the Idle Mixture is too Lean

27
Q

Under “ENGINE RUN UP” if the RPM drop exceeds 175 RPM, what do you do?

A

slowly lean the mixture until the RPM peaks. Then retard the throttle to the specified 2000 rpm for the magneto check and repeat the check

28
Q

If “Engine Run-Up” shows magneto drop out of limit and/or uneven engine run, what do you do?

A
  1. Both magnetos “ON”
  2. Set RPM to 2500 RPM
  3. Lean to peak EGT
  4. Run the engine for 30-40 seconds at peak EGT
  5. Reduce to 1200 RPM
  6. Mixture rich
29
Q

How many times can you perform a new engine run-up check, if magneto drop is out of limits, and what do you do after?

A

Once else you have too ground abort aircraft

30
Q

Doing take-off what should you avoid and why?

A

Rapid opening and/or closing of the throttle.

May detune the crankshaft counterweights with subsequent engine damage

31
Q

Full range throttle movements should be performed over a ______.

A

minimum duration of 2 seconds

32
Q

Over-rotation of the aircraft during take-off, will increase ____.

A

ground roll distance

33
Q

After nose wheel lift-off, the nose wheel strut does what?

A

automatically lock in center position

34
Q

Under take-off a higher than normal engine RPM may be expected when what and what should you do to fix this?

A

The engine oil temperature is below normal operating range (green area)

Propeller lever should be retarded to 2700 RPM in order not to exceed the maximum engine RPM limit

35
Q

Minimum RPM for take-off with full power is ___.

36
Q

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE TAKE-OFF settings?

A
  1. 10° flaps
  2. At 2500 RPM release the brakes
  3. ROTATION and LIFT-OFF SPEEDS should be 5 kts lower than normal
37
Q

Should you use flaps under CROSSWIND TAKE-OFF?

A

It is recommended not to use flaps and to keep the nose wheel on ground until lift-off speed is obtained

38
Q

What should be done at high density altitudes and/or high ambient temperatures (above +40° C) during take-off?

A

Auxiliary fuel pump should be left ON during the entire climb

39
Q

Why should you be cautious with passengers in the front seat?

A

When retarding mixture beyond the detent, the passenger may cut off of the fuel unintentionally

40
Q

When leaning what do you lean to peak?

A

EGT or max Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) normal range limit whichever comes first

41
Q

If roughness is encountered doing leaning, what should you do?

A

Enrich the mixture slightly for smooth engine operation

42
Q

Never lean to peak EGT or max CHT beyond ______ power

43
Q

When airborne the auxiliary fuel pump should be ON during the following conditions:

A
  1. When flying below 500 ft AGL.
  2. During any airborne utilization of the fuel selector, until the operator is assured that there will be no interruption of the fuel flow (5 seconds).
  3. Any time the fuel flow is fluctuating or the engine is affected by the fluctuation.
44
Q

Flying with full tanks and the fuel selector in position BOTH ON may cause what? How is this fixed?

A
  1. Siphoning of fuel from either tank
  2. Set fuel selector in position LEFT or RIGHT ON and the siphoning will stop within 10-15 sec
45
Q

To correct a fuel imbalance in air due to siphoning, what can you do?

A
  1. Fuel selector - BOTH ON
  2. Yaw (skid) the aircraft to the side with low fuel state, using ½-1 ball width
46
Q

Correcting a fuel imbalance by skidding the aircraft under IMC may cause what?

A

Spatial disorientation

47
Q

Is it allowed to switch off strobe lights in flight

A

If they interfere when flying IMC

48
Q

TO INCREASE POWER what do you do?

A

First, enrich mixture, then follow with throttle

49
Q

TO DECREASE POWER what do you do?

A

First, reduce throttle, and then adjust mixture

50
Q

Why should movement of the propeller control lever be slow?

A

Since slight movement will cause considerable RPM change

51
Q

Whenever mixture is adjusted, rich or lean, it should be done ___.

52
Q

Under “BEFORE LANDING” before selecting HIGH RPM, what should you do if using a high power setting?

A

If using a high power setting, reduce power, before selecting high RPM

53
Q

How much should base and final speed increase when “ALT STATIC AIR” is selected?

54
Q

When should base and final speed increase 5 knots?

A
  1. No-flap landing
  2. If the aircraft gross weight is above 1050 kg
55
Q

When winds are gusty, what do you add to final airspeed?

A

One-half the gust factor

56
Q

Too rapid movement of the throttle may cause what?

A

Engine over speed

57
Q

During high ambient temperatures (above +40° C), what should be done under taxiing back to apron and why?

A

Auxiliary fuel pump should be left ON

This eliminates any vapor-lock forming in the fuel lines

58
Q

Under “SHUT DOWN” how long should RPM be kept at 1800 before “Mixture cut-off”?

A

15 to 20 sec

59
Q

Before “ENGINE SHUT DOWN” engine RPM should be set at ____ RPM until oil temperature has stabilized.

60
Q

What should you make sure of, when leaving the cockpit?

A

That the shoulder harness is inside before closing the canopy

61
Q

Can you leave the canopy open when leaving aircraft?

A

No, strong winds can damage hinges/dampers. Furthermore the canopy could in some cases converge sun rays making it a fire hazard.
