Q

Vmc demo flow

A

CRAAC
- Clearing turns
- Heading +/- 20
- Above 4000’
- 100 KIAS entry
- Flaps up gear up, mixtures rich, props forward, fuel pumps on

  • Close left throttle maintaining heading and altitude
  • Slow to 100 KIAS
  • Increase right throttle to full power
  • Use rudder to maintain directional control and up to 5 degree bank into operating engine
  • Increase pitch and slow at 1 knot per sec until full rudder needed
  • Recover at first sign of loss of directional control, first indication of stall
  • Recover by reducing power on operating engine and decreasing angle of attack, then increasing power on operating engine while maintaining an AoA that allows airspeed to increase to a speed where directional control can be maintained with minimum loss of altitude
  • Accelerate to 82-88 KIAS
  • Bring throttles slowly together at 20” MP
  • Cruise checklist

Q

Emergency descent flow

A
  • Throttles idle
  • Props forward
  • Mixtures adjust
  • Gear down
  • Accelerate to a max of 140 KIAS (120 for training)

Q

Short field approach and landing flow

A

Same as normal approach and landing, except:
- Flaps 40 on final
- Reduce airspeed to speed per landing distance over 50’ obstacle short field effort chart for actual weight (from POH)
- Close throttles slowly on flare, touch down with little to no floating
- Retract flaps immediately upon landing
- Announce “max braking” for training and checkride purposes
