Q

What presents a greater problem, an aborted takeoff with tire failure or landing with a failed tire?

A

An aborted takeoff, especially at heavy gross weights and speeds below 100 KCAS because directional control is more difficult and braking effectiveness is greatly reduced.

Q

What configuration chances may make MA-1/MA-1A barrier engagement unlikely?

A

WSSP installed or speed brake open

36
Q

What is SETOS?

A

The minimum speed at which the aircraft will take off and be able to fly out of ground effect with a minimum of 100 fpm rate of climb

37
Q

Between SETOS and SETOS+10 how does single-climb performance increase?

A

It increases at a rate of 8-50 fpm for each knot of airspeed above SETOS

38
Q

What attitude do you want to be if accelerating to SETOS?

A

3 point attitude with stick at or slightly aft of the takeoff trim setting

39
Q

When should you raise the gear and flaps?

A

Once the aircraft is above SETOS+10 and airborne.

Once the aircraft is above 200 KCAS (or 220 KCAS if at heavy weights and unable to retract the gear)

40
Q

When flaps are set to 60% what should you check?

A

That they are in the 60% range (55-65%)

41
Q

What is a consideration with reaching SETOS+10 for continued takeoff?

A

Nosewheel tire limit may be exceeded

42
Q

Gear retraction, when initiated between SETOS+10 and 200 KCAS and with the left engine inoperative but windmilling may take how long?

A

Up to 1 minute

43
Q

If unable to retract the landing gear what is best level flight/climb capability?

A

200 KCAS 60% flaps

220 KCAS flaps up

44
Q

How should you land with a tire failure?

A

Put the drag in the middle, and use rudder, braking and NWS as a final attempt to keep directional control

45
Q

What should you do if you get the landing gear retraction failure landing gear light and warning horn on?

A

Increase one throttle above 96% while remaining below 240 KCAS to check if it’s actually a retraction failure

46
Q

What is landing distance with full flaps?

A

Fuel weight +2500 past the touchdown point

47
Q

If unable to raise the landing gear the aircraft will have what fuel consumption rate?

A

Approximately 10-15 lbs of fuel/NM

48
Q

When configured with gear down and full flaps the aircraft will have what fuel consumption rate?

A

60 lbs/minute at low altitudes and airspeeds below 220 KCAS

49
Q

What are the 3 hydraulic system malfunctions which may be encountered?

A

Hydraulic fluid overtemperature, low pressure and high pressure

50
Q

What must you do if utility hydraulic pressure is depleted on landing?

A

Stop straight ahead and have gear pins installed prior to clearing the runway

51
Q

If one hydraulic system reads zero what may occur?

A

Hydraulic system transfer. Flight time could be limited to only 35 minutes

52
Q

Momentary drops in pressure sufficient to cause illumination of the hydraulic caution light may be an indication of what?

A

An unpressurized system

53
Q

What indicators will you have of a high hydraulic pressure system?

A

Only the gauges. There will be no panel lights or other cautions.

54
Q

What should you do when you have a hydraulic overtemperature situation?

A

Shut down the affected engine immediately.

55
Q

What should you do when you have a hydraulic high pressure situation?

A

Land as soon as possible if it’s not accompanied by a caution light or sluggish controls

56
Q

Is hydraulic pressure provided by a windmilling engine enough to control the aircraft for landing?

A

No. Ejection should be accomplished.

57
Q

What will you lose when the utility hydraulic system fails?

A 
FANGS without the F
Augmentor (YSAS)
NWS
Gear extension/retraction
Speed brake
58
Q

What should you do if you get a hydraulic caution light and have low hydraulic pressure?

A

Monitor it and avoid zero and negative G-flight

59
Q

Can you restart an engine that was shut down for hydraulic problems if necessary if the hydraulic caution light goes out?

A

Yes but it should be left shutdown as long as possible to allow the fluid to cool

60
Q

What should you do if you get a hydraulic caution light and have normal hydraulic pressure or high hydraulic pressure?

A

Shutdown the affected engine

61
Q

What do you do if you have excessive hydraulic pressure (caution light off) (in flight)?

A

Shut down the engine if accompanied by sluggish flight controls

62
Q

What do sluggish flight controls indicate?

A

It is a slow or erratic response to normal control inputs. If the actuator seals continue to expand they will bind and the flight controls will not respond

63
Q

If you must shutdown the right engine, what should you do?

A

Check the crossover FIRST. If it’s good, LEAVE THE GENERATOR OFF and proceed with shutting down the engine. If it’s bad, turn the generator back on and consider lowering flaps 60% and trimming for final approach speeds before shutting down the engine

64
Q

What are the indications of an airframe mounted gearbox failure?

A

Simultaneous illumination of the LEFT/RIGHT GENERATOR and UTILITY/FLIGHT HYDRAULIC caution lights. Also hydraulic indicator reads zero.

65
Q

How do you confirm complete gearbox failure?

A

Checking the appropriate hydraulic indicator for zero pressure.

66
Q

If the gearbox has completely failed and you have excessive vibrations what should you do?

A

Shutdown the affected engine right away

67
Q

EED fuel flow indicators on an inoperative engine may read as high as what?

A

60 pph

68
Q

What should you do if you have a generator failure in flight?

A

Attempt to reset it, and switch the switch to ON, then, if it fails to reset, adjust engine RPM to other side of shift range and attempt a reset again. If it does not reset, turn the generator OFF and land as soon as practical and shutdown engine with failed generator after clearing the runway.

69
Q

What are some left generator no cross indications?

A

All AOA indexer lights on, left oil pressure and left fuel flow EED indications say OFF, MASTER CAUTION, LET GENERATOR and LEFT FUEL PRESS lights illuminated. All exterior lights, interior instrument lights and console lights are inoperative. Left hydraulic gauge freezes.

70
Q

What are some right generator no cross indications?

A

UFCP, MDP and HUD go blank, right oil pressure and right fuel flow EED indications say OFF, MASTER CAUTION, RIGHT GENERATOR, RIGHT FUEL PRESS and ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON lights illuminated. Right hydraulic gauge freezes. If night and Caution and Warning lights set to DIM, they go bright. “No HUD, no flaps, no trim, no fun”

71
Q

If the generator resets following a right gen no cross failure, what should you consider?

A

Setting flaps 60% and trimming the aircraft for approach speeds (in case it goes out again)
