How much should the nose wheel strut be extended?
75-125 mm
If no technical assistance the _________ may be the only means to fight a fire hazard.
aircraft fire extinguisher
Correct fuel indication can only be obtained when _______.
aircraft is in level position
To stop draining of fuel from the vent lines on the ground, what do you do?
Use one fuel tank only
What is necessary, if oil temperature is under 50 degrees Celsius doing starting engine check?
Priming is necessary
Do not engage starter for more than ___ seconds in one start attempt. Allow ___ seconds for starter cool-down between each attempt. This start cycle can be repeated up to ___ times. If however repeated ___ times, allow starter to cool for ___ minutes.
10, 20, 6, 6, 30
If the RH magneto switch is turned on before the engine fires, what might happen?
The engine will probably backfire thus damaging the starter
If minimum oil pressure (25 psi) is not indicated within 30 seconds after engine start, what should you do?
Stop engine
After “Engine Start” the GEN caution light may illuminate due to what? and when is this condition acceptable?
- Low system voltage
- On ground only
After “Engine Start” the engine RPM should be ___ RPM whenever possible.
1200 RPM
After “Engine start” which 2 things should you avoid doing under ground operations?
- Avoid prolonged engine ground operation at “idle” RPM
- Avoid rapid engine speed changes after start-up, and use only the power settings required to taxi.
At temperatures below -15 degrees Celsius, what should be preheated before starting engine?
The oil
How is “GROUND RUNNING AND WARM-UP” performed?
- Leave mixture in position FUEL RICH. Operate only with the propeller control in position
HIGH RPM. - During hot weather or hot engine ground operation where fuel vapor problems cause erratic engine operation, turn on Aux. fuel pump.
- Engine is warm enough when throttle can be opened with smooth and proper engine response.
What problems can RPM less than 1200 cause when parked?
- May damage the engine
- Increase the settling of lead in cylinders and on sparkplugs
Do not exceed ___ RPM on ground except during take-off.
2500 RPM
In which areas should pilots avoid run-up and why?
Pilots should avoid run-up in areas with loose articles (gravel, stone etc.), because the suction from the propeller may lift these articles and thereby cause damage to the propeller and other sections of the aircraft body
What is important to do, if night flying is planned?
Check operation of all lights, internal/external, and make sure a flash light is available
What is needed to check the function of map lights?
The EPU must be turned on to power the emergency bus
Use low engine RPM when taxiing on gravel or sod strips. Taxi slowly, especially during ____. Never attempt taxiing in wind velocities of more than ___ kts.
Use extreme caution in wind velocities of more than ___ kts.
- Winther
- 50 kts
- 25 kts
Taxiing in slush may cause what and why? How do you prevent this?
May cause the static ports to get blocked by ice due to splash from the main wheels
Taxi speed should be as low as possible
Doing sharp turns when taxiing, what might happen? How do you stop this?
Fuel overflow from the outboard tank, especially when the fuel selector is in position BOTH ON
To stop siphoning of fuel from either tank, select left or right tank ON
Under “ENGINE RUN UP” if requirements in checks 1-4 are not met, what do you do?
Warm up engine until ENG OIL TEMP is in the normal operating range, and then perform a new check
