General ADF

A

a) When specifically briefed

Q

What are the three detents on the flap selector?

A

UP (0 degrees)
HALF (15 degrees)

33
Q

What is the approx BASIC weight?

34
Q

Can you / should you reset the alternator isolation circuit breaker if it is tripped?

35
Q

Why must balanced flight be maintained above 170 KIAS?

A

Due to the possibility of the canopy frame lifting (up to 7mm) because of aerodynamic loads.

36
Q

What are the Minimum Safe Heights for:

  1. Over congested areas
  2. Elsewhere
A
  1. 1000ft above the highest obstacle within a radius of 600m of the aircraft.
  2. 500ft above obstacles or water.
37
Q

What is the max duration of any one application of Negative G?

A

25 Seconds

38
Q

Can the rudder trim be operated on the ground?

A

Yes, only for the AFTER START checks.

39
Q

What is the CT4B’s fuel capacity in the second configuration?

A

199L (315lbs)

181L (287lbs) Useable

40
Q

Are flights into known or predicted icing conditions allowed?

41
Q

The airspeed must not exceed ___ KIAS during a spiral dive and recovery should be initiated before ___ KIAS.

A

110 KIAS, 100 KIAS

42
Q

What motion can be induced by what control surface in the following:

  1. Longitudinal axis
  2. Lateral axis
  3. Normal axis
A
  1. Roll, Ailerons
  2. Pitch, Elevator
  3. Yaw, Rudder
43
Q

What is the max KIAS for:

  1. Take off flap (half)?
  2. Full flap?
A
  1. 100 KIAS

2. 91 KIAS

43
Q

What OAT at ground level would warrant consideration into not operating the aircraft?

A

38 Degrees Celsius

43
Q

What tyres are fitted to the nose gear and what is their correct inflation?

A

5” x 5” Tubeless (Dunlop)

30 psi

44
Q

What grip must be used when grasping the canopy locking handle?

A

Q

How many volts is the electrical power system (battery)?

A

24 Volts DC

46
Q

What is the maximum crosswind wind component for Takeoff or Landing?

47
Q

What type of flaps are fitted to the CT4B?

A

Vortex generating fowler flaps

48
Q

What is the critical spin direction?

A

The direction of the spin that is more resistant to spin recovery.

50
Q

Can the MASTER be switched off with the alternator still on?

A

No. A voltage transient will be produced which may damage the aircrafts avionics and the alternator itself.

51
Q

What can simultaneous operation of the toe brakes do (both instructor and student applying brakes)?

A

May cause fluid to vent from brake master cylinders.
Brakes may bind
Brakes may not work at all if pressure applied from the student and instructor side is equal.

A
  1. Outboard ends of propeller
  2. Control surfaces
  3. Dorsal fin
  4. Tail cone

  6. Spinner
  7. Adjacent to landing light and lift detector
53
Q

What is the primary effect, secondary effect, and further effect of:

  1. Elevator
  2. Aileron
  3. Rudder
A
  1. Pitch, Nil, NIl
  2. Roll, Adverse Yaw, Spiral dive
  3. Yaw, Roll, Spiral dive
54
Q

What airspeed is recommended for penetrating areas of severe turbulence?

55
Q

What is the limiting airspeed for max control deflection (Va) for:

  1. Normal flight (MTOW 2600lbs)
  2. Aerobatic flight (MTOW 2400lbs)
A
  1. 121 KIAS

2. 146 KIAS

56
Q

What is the maximum RPM at which the canopy may be open on the ground?

58
Q

  1. Pan-Pan?
  2. Mayday?
A
  1. 40lbs

2. 30lbs

59
Q

Define:

  1. Land as soon as practicable

2. Land as soon as possible

A
  1. Abort the mission, divert if necessary, and land. Landing may be at the planned destination,
    after considering factors such as: criticality of the emergency, enroute weather and terrain,
    radio and navigation requirements, rescue and fire fighting services, and captain’s
    experience.
  2. Abort the mission and land at the nearest airfield or landing area suitable for the safe
    operation of the aircraft
60
