Q

Factors effecting stall speed: Weight?

A 
The stall speed varies with the square root of lift.
Aircraft = 2000lbs stall speed = 50Knots
2400lbs (20% increase) = 1.2
Square root of 1.2 is 1.1 
Stall speed is 50Kts x 1.1 = 55Kts.

Q

Equation for Lift?

A 
L = (1/2) d v2 s CL
L = Lift, which must equal the airplane's weight in pounds
d = density of the air. This will change due to altitude. These values can be found in a I.C.A.O. Standard Atmosphere Table.
v = velocity of an aircraft expressed in feet per second
s = the wing area of an aircraft in square feet
CL = Coefficient of lift , which is determined by the type of airfoil and angle of attack.

A

lower

31
Q

Max bank angle in a climbing turn?

A

15 degrees.

32
Q

Standard stall recovery?

A
  • Control Column centrally forward
  • Apply full power
  • Prevent Yaw with rudder
  • Wings level
  • Recover to climb
  • Note height loss.
33
Q

300ft

34
Q

Altitude to turn to crosswind?

A

700ft 15 degree turn.

35
Q

Circuit height?

A

1000ft

36
Q

Process of thought from Power Checks to takeoff?

A

1) Clearing turn
2) Radio call
3) Line up
4) Start Takeoff checks
5) Feet clear of brakes - Full power, rudder starboard T’s & P’s, airspeed increase.

37
Q

Things to do on downwind?

A
  • Radio call

- BUMFICH checks.

38
Q

Turn downwind when airport is ………. .

A

45 degrees.

39
Q

Turn base when airport is ……… .

A

45 degrees.

40
Q

Things to do on base?

A

flaps 20 in white arc, idle, carb heat, begin decent at 76Kts

41
Q

Standard go around procedure?

A

1) Full power, right rudder
2) Drag Flap away
3) More to the dead side of the Runway
4) Begin climb away
5) Retract rest of flaps at right speed and height.

42
Q

Standard abort procedure?

A

1) Close throttle
2) Brake as required, keep straight
3) MIX off, MAGS off, FUEL off, MASTER off if required
4) Radio call.

43
Q

Procedure for standard engine failure after takeoff?

A

1) At 500ft, instructor will set up and perform Radio call.
2) Lower noise to 65Kts
3) Select landing area (DO NOT TURN BACK)

300ft

46
Q

Landing, if to low more ………. .

power

A

pitch down

48
Q

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate

49
Q

Flap-less landing procedure?

A

1) Extend downwind leg
2) Do not select flap on base leg
3) Reduce power to 1500RPM
4) Ensure that approach is not to high
5) Maintain 70Kts on approach
6) Arrive ‘Over the hedge’ at 65Kts
7) Flare and hold off as normal.

50
Q

Reasons for flap-less landing?

A

1) Mechanical
- Linkage broken or jammed
- Ice on the Flaps
- Flap motor burnt out or jammed
- Flat battery
- Master off due to electrical problem.
2) Very strong turbulence, at a lower speed with flap aircraft is less stable on approach.

51
Q

Short-field landing speeds?

A

Base with 2 stages of flap at 70Kts

  • Turn Final Full Flap reduce speed 55Kts
  • Aim to flare over the numbers
  • ‘Over the hedge’ at 50Kts
  • Use brakes firmly while bringing yoke back.
52
Q

Forced landing without power (2500ft or above)

A

1) maintain straight and level attitude until speed reduces to 65Kts, lower nose and trim.
2) Pick field and plan circuit 1000ft above point.
3) Fly the planned pattern, continually assessing the selected point.
4) Carry out ‘why failed checks’.
5) Make Mayday call
6) Just before reaching 1000ft point carry out the aircraft shutdown checks:
7) From 1000ft point carry out a standard glide approach.
8) After final flap selection - turn master switch off.

53
Q

What are the ‘why failed checks’?

A

1) Carb heat - hot
2) Fuel tank - Check on
3) Primer - locked
4) Magnetos - Re-cycle
5) Mixture - Rich

Mixture full Rich
Carb Heat hot
Fuel tank check
Primer in and locked
Magnetos re cycle

54
Q

What should you include in your mayday call?

A

Distress - MAYDAY< MAYDAY< MAYDAY
Station you are addressing
Aircraft call sign
Aircraft type

55
Q

Aircraft shutdown checks for emergency landing?

A

1) Fuel off
2) Mixture full lean
3) Throttle closed
4) Magnetos Off
5) Harnesses Tight
6) Door Unlatched

56
Q

QFE is the?

A

This is the used when taking off and landing, airfield is 0ft

57
Q

What is the QNH?

A

This is the altimeter setting for sea level, when out of airfield airspace
