Flying in Turbulenc/ Turns and Steep turns/Vacuum Systems Flashcards
What is the most important item in a turbulent air? which is the most important instrument?
Keep the wings leveled.
Attitude indicator
Altitude deviation that controller warns us
300
Do you care altitude or heading when air is bad?
Altitude may be more critical. It takes more time to correct the altitude than the heading.
What is the airspeed variation in turbulance?
there is no set limit but recommendation is 10 knots off. check the pitch. balance of pitch and airspeed.
when do you need to make long term power changes?
upper down draft on the side of the mountains or strong thunderstorms
What is the use of trim in a turbulent air?
variations will be crazy. Put it to cruise level and use pressures.
What is a block altitude?
ATC clearance to maintain any altitude within a specified upper or lower limit. 5000-6000 ft.
If you caught up with turbulence, recommendations?
limit control pressures, lower speed to Va speed.
What are the considerations of take-off and landing in turbulence?
1) Wind-shear cause IFR weather.
2) Flying through wind-shear will lead the place with increasing head or tail wind,
What is standard rate turn?
3 degrees per second
how can you estimate the bank angle? 100 knots and 300 knots
100/10 + 7 =17
determine the standard rate turn
Use the turn calculator
what is a timed turned?
turning at pre determined time.
Clock is used to determine the accuracy and repacked the heading coordinator. 180 seconds
mindset of the steep turn?
Rapid Scan
Correct instrument interpretation
Positive airplane control
During the standard rate turns, primary instrument:
Trun Coordinator
rolling out a timed turn, minor heading adjustments done by,
compass
What is EFB?
Electronic Flight Bag
A display system used to display aviation data in the cockpit.
FAR 91.21. Portable electronic device rule?
Must determine it will not cause interference with the navigation or communication
Can you replace EFB with advisory circulars?
Yes but make sure: application should be able to shown on the screen and information has to be current and up to date
updated every 28 dates
what are the recommendations of EFB?
back up and use still paper.
What is a vacuum instrument?
heading and attitude coordinator
What is the life of Dry vacuum pump?
last 500-1000 flight hours (6years)
what is a standby vacuum system?
dual engine driven vacuum pumps operate continuously.
Electric vacuum pump
In order to eliminate the problems with outside mounted Venturi:
1) pressure pump was developed
2) engine driven vacuum pump housed under the cowling
An outside mounted Venturi:
sucks air out of the vacuum instrument cases
