What is critical Mach number?
Lowest Mach number at which the airflow over any part of the aircraft reaches the speed of sound
Does altitude affect Mach speed?
Yes, as altitude increases Mach number generally increases
What is Mach tuck?
Mach tuck is a nose down pitch tendency due to a change in the position of the center of pressure resulting from a Rearwood movement of the shockwave, which occurs as an aircraft in transonic flight, accelerates beyond its limiting Mach number as an aircraft accelerates the air foil create more lift
Does temperature affect Mach tuck?
Yes, Mach number generally decreases as temperature increases
What is the crossover altitude?
Altitude at which a specified calibrated air, speed and Mach value represent the same true air speed value above this altitude, the Mach number is used to reference speed
What is AIRMET
Adverse whether that results in less than 1000/3, which is Sierra or turbulence, which is tango or icing, which is Zulu
What is a SIGMET
Severe weather not associated with thunderstorms that includes severe icing, severe or extreme turbulence, dust snow or ash
What is a convective SIGMET
SIGMET associated with thunderstorm, activity - icing, turbulence, low level of wind shear
TAF valid period and update frequency.
Valid for 24 to 30 hours and updated every six hours
When was the Beechcraft travel air manufactured?

How many electrical buses are there?
Two buses Main and avionics
What does the voltage regulator keep the alternator voltage at?

Flap type /operation /settings
Type is single slotted
actuation is through an electric motor. The settings are 0,10,20,28°.
Is the engine air filtered?
The engine air intake is filtered, but the alternate air is not
How does the RPM of the prop change?
The pilot controls the RPM with the prop lever in the cockpit which tells the flyweight what on speed is
Where is the prop governor located?
Rear side of the engine
Prop will not feather below what due to what
It will not feather below 800 RPM do to the anti-feather lock pin
Feathering accumulator PSI/operation
300 psi one time shot until it is reloaded with a running engine
How do you feather the prop? How long will it take?
Move the propeller lever all the way down to the feather detent should take six seconds to feather
What is the purpose of feathering?
To reduce the drag caused by windmilling and to avoid further damage to the engine
Will the propeller feather when you shut down the engine after landing?
No, there is an anti-feather lock pin, which prevents the prop from feathering below 800 RPM when the RPM is high, the pin hides inside a sleeve due to centrifugal force when the RPM is low, the spring pushes out the pin to stop the movement of the prop
How can you un feather the prop?
Move the prop lever to high RPM position to activate the feathering accumulator
How does the un feathering accumulator work?
It has a diaphragm inside nitrogen is charged on one side engine oil is pumped in on the other side from the governor during normal operation when the propeller lever is moved down to the feather position. The valve is closed to keep high oil pressure inside the accumulator at 300 psi when the prop lever is moved to high RPM position, the valve is opened and the nitrogen pushes the oil back. The oil is sent to the hub to the governor in crankshaft to decrease blade angle. Once the blade angle changes the wind picks up the prop to start windmilling this way. The engine can be restarted without stress on the cylinders. The accumulator opens the governor and drops oil out of of the hub, allowing low pitch RPM.
What is prop over speed caused by?
A malfunction in the propeller governor, which allows the propeller blades to rotate to full low pitch
What should you do if you encounter propeller over speed?
Retard the throttle,
the propeller control should be moved to full decrease RPM and then set if any Control is available
air speed should be reduced and throttle used to maintain a maximum of 2700 RPM
