First Flight (AHC)

Question 1

Break Turn Exercise/ accelerated stall

Answer 1

1) MAX AB turn, 5.5 G near SRB
set airspeed to 400-420. Note LV req’d
* simulates normal rate fight

2) once in the turn, raise LV and cnx AB for 2 sec
maintain moderate buffett
approaching 380, relax backstick to keep mod buffett
*simulates “tighten down” to get greater turn rate and smaller radius

3) keep increasing backstick until nose track decreases (will happen at 380)
notice nose stops tracking, buffett is reduced
recover: reduce backstick until max nose track and mod buffett re-established
*this os how you recover from stalls

Question 2

Energy maneuverability

Answer 2

*what affects acceleration?
thrust, g (max acceleration at 0 g), less weight, denser air, pitch, NOT bank angle

select max, unload to 0 G

Question 3

Jink

Answer 3

*guns defense to defeat a guns track

Begin at 315, mil power or less, descending turn, unload, reorient lift vector ~45 degrees up or down, and pull

Question 4

High/low speed dive recovery

Answer 4

> 380 power and SB as required

Question 5

no-flap pattern

Answer 5

175 + gas
pattern - 4-5 NL

trim; tendency to get steep
power and flare at the same time
slow idle then rapid idle at threshhold

Question 6

SSE approach and landing

Answer 6

60 flaps - 5 above approach speed
FPM past threshhold
idle and flare at the same time
RUDDER to center green trap

Question 7

normal pattern

Answer 7

3 mile scope on egi- line just outside circle
220 rolled out inside downwind
fly over white tend
if you’re steep you have to wait longer to shift the aim point
shack speed in final turn - correct ASAP once aligned with runway but don’t be idle too early.
