Q

Why is the nose cone tilted?

A

The nose cone (therefore the engine is tilted) is tilted due to the tilting of the engine which is offset to counter torque effect to keep the trim changes minimum during flight. The angles are 3.5 degrees nose right and 4 degrees nose down.

A

Restricted Area: Airspace is restricted in accordance with specified time. Pilots desiring to enter must request from ATC clearance to enter. When clearance is granted, pilot must abide by all rules.

Prohibited area: No flights allowed. Flight within a prohibited area is not allowed.

Danger Area: Airspace within which dangerous activities to a/c may exist at specified times. Approval of flight within a danger area outside controlled airspace is not required.

RECAP
Examples of Restricted airspace.
R178
R134 A/B/C/D
R146 A/B/C
R184

Q

Definition of BINGO and JOKER fuel word for word?

A

“Bingo” Fuel is the fuel state at which the mission in the area will be terminated and will allow for a normal recovery via low level at 200 KIAS to land before reaching minimum fuel.

“Joker” Fuel is a fuel state nominated by QFI or Formation Leader to assist in sortie management.

17
Q

Emergency and Minimum fuel quantity and what do these values mean.

A

Emergency Fuel - 110 lbs at FAF / IP
Allows 1 missed approach and land visually at the same airfield before reaching aircraft minimum safe operating fuel state (50lbs).

Minimum Fuel - 230 lbs at FAF / IP
Allows 1 missed approach and divert to land before reaching emergency fuel. Sufficient for either VRIAP to Gingin or Radar Vectors for INST APP finals to Perth.

18
Q

What is WANNAMAL Lane?

A

The Wannamal Lane is centered on the 356 radial, and extends between the 354 and 358 radials, from 15-45 TAC. Vertical limits are A050-A120. Operations in PTAs B or C normally route via the Wannamal Lane. Position ‘Northgate’ is situated at 15 TAC in the Wannamal Lane.

19
Q

What is a CIRA? What is PEA/GIN CIRA?

A 
Circuit Area (CIRA)
Pearce and Gingin CIRAs are from surface to 3,500ft AMSL.
20
Q

What is Merlo Release?

A

The Merlo Release is civil airspace that is released to Pearce when Perth is operating on RWY 03 or 06 (northeast plan). The Merlo Release comprises civil airspace above R153 A and B, and that portion of the PTH TMA within 9 TAC, SFC-A040.
When Pearce is operating to RWY 36, the Merlo Release facilitates instrument approaches on the 7 TAC arc, and positioning for visual approach via initial. When Perth is operating on RWY 21 or 24 (southwest plan) the Merlo release is not available, and instrument approaches to RWY 36 will be denied or delayed. The Pearce ATIS will then include the phrase ‘Merlo Release not available.’ Under such circumstances the Gnangara Release is still available.

21
Q

Flexible descent purpose?

A

Flexible descent – Speed, power and airbrake as required.

You must plan for a proper descend from FL150 to 8000/7000ft as required. You must achieve the required altitude before you reach the Class C/E airspace boundary. Use 240KIAS for all descends. If it appears that you will not achieve the required height by the airspace boundary use a flexible descend.

22
Q

The maximum ramp weight for PC-21 is ______.

A

6878 lb

23
Q

The PC‐21 engine can provide a maximum of ________ at speeds above 200 KIAS.

A

1600 shaft horse power

24
Q

The FUEL SYSTEM WATER DRAIN placards are located ________.

A

Under the wings and on the port side forward of the wing root

25
Q

What colour line denotes VMO?

A

Red.

26
Q

What is the stall speed at maximum aeroplane weight with gear extended and flaps in take‐ off position?

A

86kts

27
Q

The Dedicated Warning Panel (DWP) receives its signals from which source(s)?

A

Directly from relevant systems

28
Q

A full functional test of the Alerting System can be accomplished with which of the following switches?
