Q

What to do in these situations?

Rpm LOW - manifold LOW

Rpm LOW - manifold HIGH

Rpm HIGH - manifold LOW

Rpm HIGH manifold HIGH

A

Rpm LOW- man LOW
Increasing the throttle increases manifold pressure and rpm

Rpm LOW - man HIGH
Lowering the collective pitch decreases manifold pressure and increases rpm

Rpm HIGH - man LOW
Raising the collective pitch increases manifold pressure and decreases rpm

Rpm HIGH - man HIGH
Reducing the throttle decreases manifold pressure and rpm

A

30, 40

27
Q

When should a pilot be extra cautious regarding the possibility of cold soaked fuel tanks?

A

28
Q

What are the three main types of aircraft icing?

A

Clear, mixed, rime

29
Q

How does airframe ice form?

A

Super-cooled water droplets strike a cold airframe.

30
Q

In what temperature range is the risk of airframe icing most severe in convective cloud?

A

0 to -10 c

31
Q

In what cloud type is the risk of severe clear airframe icing present?

A

Cumulus, 0 to -10 c

32
Q

Clear ice is formed in:

A

Freezing rain

33
Q

Rime ice is formed in:

A

Stratiform clouds

34
Q

Which type of icing would anti-icing/de-icing equipment be more effective on?

A.Clear

B.Mixed

C.Rime

D.Snow

A

C

35
Q

Large super-cooled water droplets Require strong vertical currents to support them, therefore they are most commonly found in cumulus cloud.
True or false

A

True

36
Q

Clear ice is formed in:

A

Cumulus clouds

37
Q

The most serious icing is found in:

A

Cumulus cloud

38
Q

Describe rime ice?

A
  • formed by instantaneous freezing of supercooled water droplets (skin temp less than 0)
  • rough, milky opaque like the inside of a freezer
  • forms in layer clouds like stratus
  • not very adhesive, brittle
  • results in light to moderate icing
39
Q

Describe clear ice?

A

• Formed when large supercooled water drops slowly freeze to the aircraft (skin temperature less than 0°C).
• Smooth and transparent.
• The most dangerous type of icing.
• Especially just below freezing with large supercooled water droplets.
• Larger accumulations are characterized by the presence of upper and lower “horns.”

40
Q

Describe mixed icing?

A

A mixture of clear and rime ice

41
Q

What are three factors that have an effect on the rate of ice accumulation?

A
  • Airfoil shape
  • airfoil speed
  • droplet size
