Q

Describe set up for a clean stall. When do you recover for incipient stall? fully developed?

A
  • Pre manoeuvre checks (HASELL)
  • nose high wingover then PCL Idle
  • CDM on horizon, trim to 120 KIAS
  • When CDM cages, PRS to alpha

For incipient stall, initiate SSR once you recognize the symptoms (e.g. aural stall warning)
For fully developed, SSR once you identify stall indications (nose drop, wing drop, heavy buffet, etc)

Q

Describe key points of HUD off circuit

A

Upwind
- top of UFCP on horizon to climb
- level with 4 - 5 deg NU on PFD
Crosswind
- hold 4 - 5 deg NU on PFD and 45 deg AoB
Downwind
- Initially 4 - 5 deg NU, then push to 2 - 3 deg NU following flap selection, gradually raise attitude to maintain altitude as IAS descreases
Base turn
- Initially set top edge of UFCP ~30 deg to horizon and lower the nose, then use PFD to refine (0 - 1 deg ND and 30 deg AoB)
Finals
- Use PFD to maintain >110 KIAS
- 500ft markers should be on top of AoA indexer in HUD bracket
- Use PAPI to help, remember they reference 1000ft markers

19
Q

Describe a glide circuit from T/O to landing

A
  • standard T/O, maintain 160KIAS on upwind and R/T “upwind, glide”
  • will likely commence crosswind turn while still climbing to glide circuit altitude (2700’ PEA, 2800’ GIG)
  • commence ‘before landing checks’ early, shortly after rolling out on downwind. Maintain 130KIAS minimum
  • base call early, roughly half way on downwind. “VIPR17, high base, 3 greens”
  • Assess traffic with good LOOKOUT
  • at low key, select idle and 7deg ND CDM for 130KIAS
  • as trailing edge passes 1000ft markers, roll 30deg AoB
  • assess glide potential, select land flap when you’re ‘overshooting’ the runway, attitude for 125KIAS, 12 - 13 ND CDM
  • commence a smooth one stage flare (unsure what height, if similar to 2 stage flare likely 150ft)
  • land the cousin
20
Q

Describe the standard nose high/low UA recovery

A

Use ‘attitude - height - speed - proceed’ method
- Attitude: nose high or nose low?
- height: increasing or decreasing? safe to attempt recovery?
- speed: <200KIAS or >200 but decreasing select pcl MAX, A/B in
If >250 or <250 but increasing rapidly select pcl IDLE, A/B out
If stable between 200 - 250, leave power set
- proceed: recover to nearest horizon (roll and push for nose high, roll check pitch check for nose low)
Power for safe airspeed, A/B in if required
TRIPLE O checks

21
Q

Describe nose high unrecoverable UA recovery

A

Initial max power + roll and push with no response

  • Idle and centralise controls
  • wait for nose to fall and airspeed to increase
  • complete nose low recovery actions while smoothly increasing power for safe S&L flight
22
Q

describe how to conduct the perfect loop

A
  • HASELL checks
  • Pick line feature, select 80 - 85% TQ then enter nose low wingover (‘clear below’)
  • rollout on line feature, at 220KIAS ‘clear above’
  • 240KIAS, smooth to 4g with wings level, should be 250KIAS through horizon
  • at top of loop look through canopy for line feature, 12 alpha and wings level
  • Exit at 250KIAS, G for speed
23
Q

describe how to conduct an aileron roll

A
  • HASELL checks
  • line feature, 80 - 85% TQ, nose low wingover to line feature
  • approaching 250KIAS, smoothly select 5 deg NU CDM
  • full aileron deflection
  • wings level, CDM on horizon, back to workcycle
24
Q

describe how to conduct barrel roll

A
  • HASELL checks
  • line feature, 80 - 85% TQ, nose low wingover onto line feature
  • approaching 250KIAS, smooth to 3g, as feet pass horizon commence roll to 90 degree feature on wing
  • roll and pitch to achieve wings level inverted through horizon with feature on nose
  • continue to adjust roll and pitch rate
  • g for speed, exit at 250KIAS, parallel to line feature used for entry
25
Q

key points for the spin brief

A
  • type of spin and direction
  • recovery timing (number of turns or altitude)
  • recovery/ejection altitudes
26
Q

describe how to conduct an incipient spin

A
  • HASELL checks and spin brief
  • Nose high wingover, rollout 140KIAS and select idle
  • hold CDM on horizon, trims neutral by 120KIAS
  • at stall warning, control column centrally aft and full rudder deflection in direction of spin
  • head back, ‘clear below’ and immediately initiate recovery
  • height check, pcl idle, centralise stick and rudder
  • when spin stops, wings level, 10deg NU with max power
  • triple O checks
27
Q

describe how to conduct a fully developed spin

A
  • same entry as incipient spin
  • ‘clear below’ after full backstick and rudder
  • count each full turn using large feature and verbalise height (‘one, 8-1, two, 7-7, three 7-4, recovering now’)
  • pcl idle, centralise control column and apply full opposite rudder to spin direction
  • centralise rudder as soon as spin stops
  • wings level and conduct nose low UA recovery to 10 deg nose up
  • triple O actions
28
Q

what is the equation to work out if you can make high key based off your altitude and distance you can glide?

A

(alt in thousands - 4) x 2 = glide distance in NM to make HK

i.e. at 14000 ft, you can glide a max of 20NM to make high key. I’ve used ‘ - 4’ because we fly high key at 3700’ PEA and 3800’ GIG, so probably more realistic that ‘ - 3’

29
Q

describe how to conduct a PFL from the area to HK

A
  • Something happens (eng fail, instructor says do PFL now, etc)
  • Initiate climbing turn towards aerodrome (10 deg NU and 30 - 45 deg AoB)
  • Whilst doing this, assess emergency and conduct BOLDFACE actions
  • capture 140KIAS by selecting glide attitude (0 PFD, approx 5 deg ND CDM)
  • simulate MAYDAY, or get actual clearance for HK
  • assess glide potential and complete other checklist actions (e.g. glide checks)
  • time permitting, complete rejoin checks
  • Prior to 5NM/3500ft, switch to TWR freq and inform you are approaching HK
  • ID all traffic before reaching HK
30
Q

describe how to conduct a PFL from HK to LK to landing

A
  • HK call to TWR and traffic identification already complete prior to reaching HK
  • If no traffic on downwind, select idle at HK and capture 140KIAS (or continue glide if coming from area)
  • turn 30 deg AoB for LK, adjusted for wind if required
  • 2/3 through turn (after crossing runway) complete ‘before landing checks’ and select new attitude for 130KIAS glide. R/T for high base
  • once at LK, continue turn, and select land flap when positive you are ‘overshooting’ runway
  • continue if FPM on threshold, and conduct one stage flare (as we will be taught soon)
