FF105 Flashcards
What information is needed to complete the TOLD card?
a. Aircraft information: weight and balance
b. Departure and arrival field conditions (weather & airfield data): preflight and operations briefing
c. Aircraft takeoff and landing performance: Flight Manual charts in Appendix A
What should you do if winds are reported as either gusty or variable?
Use the chart to calculate the strongest crosswind and weakest headwind.
What are the six variables used to compute takeoff distance using the takeoff distance chart?
Temperature, Pressure altitude, Gross weight, Runway slope, Wind, Obstacle height
What is the effect of increased temperature on takeoff distance?
As temperature increases, takeoff distance also increases.
In computing landing distance data, what is total landing distance?
Total ground distance from the 50-foot obstacle height to a full stop with charted configuration
What is RCR, and what are the specific values?
Runway Conditions Reading (RCR)
a. 26 – best condition
b. 23 – dry
c. 12 – wet
d. 05 – icy
e. 02 – worst condition
What should you do before entering the computed headwind component into the appropriate block on the TOLD card?
Verify that the crosswind component is within acceptable limits.
What is an instrument cross-check?
Setting and maintaining aircraft parameters using reference only to the aircraft instruments
What term describes setting and maintaining aircraft parameters using outside visual reference and aircraft instruments?
Composite cross-check
What are the two categories of flight instruments?
Control, Performance and Navigation
Which performance instruments will give you the first indications of incorrect pitch and bank angle setting?
a. Incorrect pitch: VSI, then altimeter
b. Incorrect bank angle: EHSI and turn and bank indicator
What is coordinated flight?
Flight in aerodynamic balance without skid or slip
What is crabbing?
Adjusting your heading in order to fly a straight ground track
What is the standard pitch correction for altitude deviations less than 300 feet?
2°
What is the purpose of trimming the aircraft?
Trim balances aerodynamic forces on the aircraft to relieve the pilot from having to forcefully hold aircraft controls in the desired position.
Turns involve the coordination of which aircraft control surfaces?
Aileron, rudder, and elevator
As you roll into a turn, what other control inputs must you make besides rudder?
You must increase back pressure on the stick to maintain level flight.
In a constant airspeed and power climb, how will your attitude in a climbing turn compare to a wings-level climb?
It will be lower because the turn results in a loss of lift and a resultant decrease in climb rate.
What is the technique to smoothly lead a level-off from a climb or descent?
Lead level-off altitude by 10% of the vertical velocity.
When accelerating, how will the aircraft tend to react?
It will seek the trimmed airspeed by climbing. If power is added, right rudder and trim will also be needed to compensate for propeller effects. The Trim Aid Device will also provide some assistance.
How would you pronounce these on the radio?
a. 1500 feet
b. FL290
c. Heading 035
a. “one thousand, fife hundred feet”
b. “flight level two niner zero”
c. “heading zero tree fife”
Which airborne radio calls should be read back?
Radio frequency changes, Heading changes, Altitude changes, Altimeter changes, Clearances
Does clearance to taxi to a runway authorize you to cross other runways along the route?
No. If a taxi route requires crossing any runway, pilots will hold short until obtaining specific clearance to cross each runway.
Which taxi clearances are you required to read back?
Any clearance that includes “hold short” instructions
As the takeoff roll progresses, why will smaller rudder inputs be needed?
As speed increases, the controls will become more effective.
During takeoff, when are the wheel brakes used?
Only for stopping (abort), not steering
What control inputs should be made during a no-wind takeoff?
Right rudder
What is the normal climb speed for the T-6A?
160 KIAS
During a normal climb, you observe the airspeed to be 155 knots. What correction is necessary?
Lower the nose slightly
What is the purpose of the best rate of climb?
Achieves cruise altitude as quickly as possible and is also the most fuel efficient
As temperature decreases, what happens to takeoff distance?
It decreases.
What is RCR?
Runway Conditions Reading, which is a report of runway braking characteristics
What is a composite cross-check?
Maintaining aircraft parameters by using both outside references and instruments
Which instrument is used to maintain pitch and bank?
EADI
Which is the primary instrument used in the hub and spoke method?
EADI
What is a skid in a turn?
The aircraft is turned with excessive rudder. The ball will be deflected to the outside of the turn.
In a turn, how do you compensate for loss of lift?
Apply back pressure on the control stick.
To achieve cruise altitude as quickly as possible, you should use what climb speed?
Best rate of climb
What information should be included in a standard request for taxi clearance?
Aircraft ID, current position on the airfield, type of operation, and intended first destination
When can the wheel brakes be used during takeoff?
Only for stopping, not steering
When initiating a climb from cruise with the airspeed above 160 KIAS, what is the first action taken?
Simultaneously increase power to maximum and the pitch to above the normal climb pitch picture
