Flight Operations

Question 1

V speed - you need to know for your aircraft
Vy Verse Vx

Answer 1

Vy = rate of climb
Vx = angle of climb

Question 2

Vs =

Answer 2

stall speed in clean configuration

Question 3

Vso =

Answer 3

Stall speed in landing configuration

Question 4

Va =

Answer 4

Manoeuvering speed

Question 5

Vfe =

Answer 5

Max flap extended speed

Question 6

Vne =

Answer 6

Never exceed speed

Question 7

Vr =

Answer 7

Rotation speed

Question 8

Take off considerations
1000 ft increase in pressure Alt =

Answer 8

increase take-off distance by 10%

Question 9

Take off considerations
10 C increase in temp =

Answer 9

increase take-off distance by 10%

Question 10

Take off considerations
Firm Turf =

Answer 10

add 7% take-off distance

Question 11

Take off considerations
short grass Vs long grass

Answer 11

short grass = +10%
long grass = +30%

Question 12

Take off considerations
mud or snow =

Answer 12

+75%

Question 13

Take off considerations
upslope runway =

Answer 13

+10% for each degree upslope

Question 14

Take off considerations
downslope runway =

Answer 14

substract 5% from take-off for 2 degrees downslope

Question 15

Koch Chart =

Answer 15

determine takeoff distance & climb affected by density and altitude.

Question 16

Crosswind -should be found in the POH but if you cannot find it then assume…

Answer 16

20% of the Vs
Vs = stall speed clean configuration

Question 17

If a large plane just took off, where should you take off from?

Answer 17

Well before where they did to avoid their turbulence. (Essentially less runway, get up sooner)

Question 18

If a large plan just landed, where should you take off from?

Answer 18

….pretty sure you are supposed to land past where they landed to avoid going into their wake. **

Question 19

Thunderstorms - how close is too close?

Answer 19

20NM just cancel your trip/go another way.

Question 20

Crosswind Corrections
wind coming from infront of you
while taxiing

Answer 20

turn into it.
-neutral elevator and up aileron on same side as wind

Question 21

Crosswind Corrections
wind coming from behind you while taxiing

Answer 21

dive away from it.
down elevator & down aileron on same side as wind

Question 22

Wheelbarrowing

Answer 22

too much weight on the nose wheel = loss of directional control & braking ability.
1) Take off –> forward elevator
2) Landing –> release forward pressure

Question 23

Porpoising

Answer 23

bounces back and fourth between the nose & main gear.
Landing –> nosewheel first, improper flare attitude w/ excessive speed.
Fix = apply back pressure & hold.
OR add power & go around!

Question 24

Hydroplaning

Answer 24

reduction of tire friction due to a wet surface.
Fix = land as slowly as possible & firmly
