Dash One Sxn 7

Question 1

What can happen to your avionics in flights near thunderstorms?

Answer 1

UHF radio become unstable, MFD flight instruments and EED fuel displays can distort and static can overcome transmissions to the aircraft

Question 2

What should you do if UHF noise adversely affects reception when flying near a thunderstorm?

Answer 2

Switch to UPPER COMM or use the backup control panel. Standbys won’t be affected so fly off those

Question 3

What’s the recommended penetration airspeed for turbulence and thunderstorms?

Answer 3

280 KCAS

Question 4

EED fuel quantities can vary by how much during flight in thunderstorms?

Answer 4

200 lbs

Question 5

When forecast conditions include thunderstorms or high cirrus clouds what should you do?

Answer 5

Set the UHF to backup control panel

Question 6

What is a critical area to check for freezing?

Answer 6

Control hinge areas

Question 7

Can you chip or scrape away ice?

Answer 7

No. It could damage aircraft surfaces.

Question 8

How should you maintain taxi and maintain directional control when taxiing in ice/snowy conditions?

Answer 8

Use both NWS and braking, reduce taxi speeds and increase the normal interval between aircraft and reduce taxi time. Check for sluggish instruments while taxiing.

Question 9

What parts of the aircraft have anti-icing or heating?

Answer 9

Engine anti-ice, pitot heat and canopy defog heat.

Question 10

Do the inlet ducts have anti-ice/heat?

Answer 10

No

Question 11

What must you do when icing conditions are unavoidable?

Answer 11

Place the pitot heat ON and turn canopy defog to full increase.

Question 12

Engine damage may occur if as little as how much ice is ingested by the engine?

Answer 12

0.25 inch on inlet ducts

Question 13

After suspected ice ingestion what should you do?

Answer 13

Operate the affected engine at the lowest possible RPM and avoid making abrupt or rapid throttle movements.

Question 14

If you have done flight in icing conditions what must you do?

Answer 14

Note this in the 781 so that the engines can be inspected for ice damage.

Question 15

When may engine inlet duct and/or guide vane icing may occur?

Answer 15

When the ambient temperature is at or slightly above freezing and either humidity is high or operating in visible moisture.

Question 16

Maintain a minimum of what RPM to maintain effective anti-icing?

Answer 16

80%

Question 17

What should you do if you must fly in moderate precipitation?

Answer 17

Slow to the minimum practical airspeed to negate or lessen damage to the nose cone or vertical stabilizer which could lead to inflight engine FOD

Question 18

Below what temperatures should you let the engines idle?

Answer 18

-30 deg F (-34 deg C)

Question 19

What should you do when temperatures are cold?

Answer 19

Allow the engines to idle 2 minutes before accelerating.

Question 20

How often should you cycle flight controls for a cold start?

Answer 20

Four to six times and check speed brake and aileron trim for proper operation.

Question 21

For a cold start may oil pressure indications exceed 55 psi?

Answer 21

Yes

Question 22

What can you do to reduce time for oil pressure to return to normal during a cold start?

Answer 22

Operate the engine above idle up to military power, not to exceed 5 minutes.

Question 23

What is the optimum RPM range at which to operate the engine to warm up the oil after a cold start?

Answer 23

70-75%

Question 24

What can be expected when ground ambient temperatures are below -16 deg F (-26 deg F)?

Answer 24

Low idle RPM

Question 25

What should you do if engine RPM does not increase when pushing up power after a cold start?

Answer 25

Shut down the engine and determine the cause

Question 26

When should you use anti-ice on initial takeoff roll?

Answer 26

Below 40 deg F (4 deg C)

Question 27

What two things increase the risk of compressor stalls?

Answer 27

1) Low temp below 40 deg F (4 deg C)

2) Extremely low density altitudes (lower than 1000’)

Question 28

How should you inspect the aircraft in hot weather/desert conditions?

Answer 28

Check filters, protect plastic and rubber segments from sand, canopy covers left off.

Question 29

With canopy closed cockpit damage may result when ambient temperature is in excess of what?

Answer 29

110 deg F

Question 30

What can occur during hot weather approach and landings?

Answer 30

Your groundspeed can be higher than normal because of high ambient temps which will lead to a long landing roll
