Q

vertical stabilizer

A

a fixed surface, stabilizes the aircraft and stops the nose from going left and right

21
Q

6 items in current and forecast weather to be concerned about prior to flight

A

winds, visibility, sky condition, temperature and dew point,

altimeter setting

22
Q

3 announcements verbally on take-off

A

take off
gauges green
air speed alive

23
Q

lift nose wheel @

climb air speed @

A

55 KIAS

70-80 KIAS

24
six main instruments for flight
``` ASI air speed indicator VSI vertical speed indicator DG directional gyro (align w/ magnetic compass) Attitude indicator Turn coordinator Altimeter ```
26
what 2 things cause the aircraft to climb
speeding up and pulling back on yoke
27
cockpit controls and indicators used for engine starting
``` throttle mixture control master switch ignition switch and key oil pressure gauge ```
28
VFR | IFR
visual flight rules | instrument flight rules
29
VMC visual meteorological conditions
cloud ceiling higher than 3000 feet AGL visibility greater than 5 statue miles (8 kilometers)
30
what to remove prior to flight (3 items outside and 1 inside)
wheel chocks, tie downs, pitot tube cover - control lock on yoke
31
items to check during the pre-flight inspection (5)
-overall aircraft structure and condition -the area around the aircraft -required documents -fuel and oil -removal of : chocks, tie downs, control lock (on yoke), pitot cover
31
before starting the engine (3) and RPM after starting
``` parking brake set strobes and beacon on look around to make sure area is clear for prop start - 1000 ```
32
GUMPS
``` gas both tanks under carriage fixed mixture rich power in hand seat-belts are on ```
33
in steep turn, climbs and descents what radio frequency do you turn to?
122.75
34
when reporting your position include (3)
1 your position relative to a land mark on the ground 2 your present altitude 3 your intentions (with flight)
35
critical angle of attack on a cessna skyhawk
16 degrees
36
aileron does? elevator/stabilator rudder
roll pitch yaw
37
3 axis of rotation
yaw about the vertical pitch about the lateral roll about the longitudinal
38
where do the three axis intersect
intersect at center of gravity
39
what 2 things does the rudder do?
corrects yaw | left turn tendency
40
banks are classified in three ways?
shallow 20 degrees or less medium 20 - 45 degrees steep 45 degrees or more
41
what bank would you need to reverse the ailerons to stabilize?
steep turns
42
P.A.V.E. what is this
Pilot, Aircraft,Environment,External pressures
43
``` Airspeed terminology KCAS KIAS KTAS VA VFE VNO VNE VS VSO VX VY ```
Knots calibrated Knots indicated airspeed Knots tire air speed
44
when is parasite drag the highest
fast speeds
45
when is induced drag the greatest
at slow speeds
46
5 steps to level flight
set the pitch to level and let speed bilud to about 90 kts, adjust RPM to 2300+/-, adjust the trim and then lean the mixture.
47
A.P.T.
altitude/airspeed , power (RPM) , trim
48
when reporting you position and intentions on radio
position to known landmark, your present altitude, your intentions
49
when turning and you move the controls, what else do you do regarding your turn (hint, yaw) & (lift)
use the rudder to assist in the direction to stop the aircraft from yawing and add some pitch up to counter the induced drag where you lose altitude.
