And then set up for an ____?
T – Turn
C – Climb
C – Clean
C – Check
Set up for an ELP (Emergency Landing Pattern)
What is a post-FEVER check?
A check you perform to see if the actions you have taken in handling an EP did what you expected it to do – i.e. did the engine restart? Did the smoke dissipate? Etc.
During an EP, what do you as a minimum declare to the SOF/RSU/ATC?
Nature of emergency Fuel remaining (In hours and minutes) Souls on board Plan of action ETA
What is the app. Power setting for maintaining an airspeed at different altitudes?
250 KIAS = _____ % power
200 KIAS = _____ % power
150 KIAS = _____ % power
93% + 1% torque per 1.000’
50% + 1% torque per 1.000’
32% + 1% torque per 1.000’
In which order should control surfaces be trimmed?
Rudder
Elevator
Aileron
What happens to the aerodynamic center of the propeller during high AOA power-on flight?
What does shifting of the aerodynamic center of the propeller do to the aircraft?
How to correct for this?
What is this effect called?
The center moves right
Causing the aircraft to yaw left
Use rudder
P-Factor
What is the gyroscopic effect?
What is the effect of the nose of the aircraft being: Yawed left? Yawed right? Pitched down? Pitched up?
Gyroscopic precession causes an applied force to act in a plane 90 degrees from that in which it was applied.
Yaw left – tendency to pitch up
Yaw right – tendency to pitch down
Pitch down – yaw left
Pitch up – yaw right
During preflight – what should be checked before turning on the battery?
Ensure the prop area is clear before turning on the battery.
During engine start closely monitor _____ , _____ and _____.
ITT (Temperature)
N1 (Gas generator speed)
Start ready light (Start annunciator)
During start up, what should you do before activating any system that could endanger personnel?
Signal the crewchief
How to do the brake check during taxi?
How to transfer aircraft control during brakes check?
PF (Pilot Flying) checks own brakes and says “My brakes check, check yours”. PNF (Pilot Non Flying) then checks brakes.
No transfer of aircraft control is necessary to do this.

5-7 knots
15 knots
Avoid taxiing acros RWY cables)
TRUE / FALSE
True
When do you use the R-NEWS (T) check?
What does it abbreviate?
Before take-off
R – RAIM (Check RAIM and FDE on page 2) N – NAV AIDS/needles E – Emergencies (Abort, ENG failure on T/O) W – Weather/Winds S – SID/DP review T – TOLD
