800ft AGL other phases

28
Q

Critical Engine on DA42

A

Left

29
Q

“Pitot Fail” meaning

A

Pitot heat failure; or
Overheat on the ground leading to temporary thermal cutout

30
Q

“LOI” warning

A

GPS integrity insufficient for phase of flight

31
Q

Max starter time

A

10 seconds

32
Q

Engines
- # cylinders
- # stroke
- sump type

A

4 cylinder
4 stroke
Wet sump

33
Q

Feathering rpm limit

A

Switching off engine master feathers the engine, but only if rpm is above 1300rpm.

34
Q

Validity of instrument rating

A

12 months from skills test
Revalidation by proficiency check within 3 months of expiry date

35
Q

Privileges of Instrument Rating

A

Able to fly in IFR conditions down to decision height of 200ft

36
Q

Semi-circular rule (IFR)

A

Track 0 - 179: Odds FL30, FL50,…
Track 180 - 359: Evens FL40, FL60,…

37
Q

ATS services

A

Traffic: Pilot must advise before changing level or route. Controller provides information about traffic only, not deconfliction instructions.

Deconfliction: Only IFR flights. Pilots must follow instructions from controller. ATC will provide instructions to achieve deconfliction minima.

Procedural service: Non-radar version of deconfliction based only on information available to the controller.

Pilots ALWAYS responsible for terrain clearance.

38
Q

Minimum En-route Altitude vs
Minimum Safe Altitude

A

MEA is min alt between two fixes ensuring terrain clearance and navaid coverage.
MSA is a more general term that allows you to determine an altitude for a phase of the flight to ensure terrain clearance.

39
Q

RVR vs visibility

A

RVR is specific to the runway and takes into consideration runway lighting.
General visibility is usually lower.

40
Q

Visual references required to pass DA/MDA

A

Main runway lights

41
Q

LPV vs LNAV/VNAV

A

LPV uses augmented GPS system to establish point in 3d space and give 3d guidance to touchdown zone. NOT precision approach though.

LNAV/VNAV uses GPS data for the 2d approach (LNAV) and uses barometric data to generate 3d guidance.

42
Q

Requirement to go below MDA on circling approach

A

1) Can identify threshold
2) Can descend at normal rate
3) Sufficient visibility for approach procedure
4) Suitable visual references (threshold itself, threshold lights or ALS)

43
Q

How to do missed approach from circling approach

A

Make an initial call towards the landing runway
Intercept the missed approach track and climb away

44
Q

Action on radio failure

A

Set 7600.
If VFR conditions continue flight under VFR and land ASAP.
Follow last clearance received, if not the filed route plan and aim to commence approach as close to the ETA as possible.

45
Q

Position report format

A

EXM [xx], CLN, 34, FL70, DET, 52

CLN - position
34 - time
FL70 - altitude/FL (add climbing XX if true)
DET - next position
52 - time @ DET

46
Q

Stapleford minima for TO & L

A

TO: 300ft AAL, 1000m
L: 1000ft AAL, 1500m
[Instrument procedures per the procedure minima]

47
Q

Electrical system

A

28v DC

48
Q

Backup batteries

A

30 minute backup for the ECU only
12V, 7.2 Ah batteries under each seat

49
Q

Main battery voltage

A

24V, 13.6 Ah

50
Q

Take off alternate
- When required
- What is required

A

Required if landing minima not met at the departure aerodrome.
For 2 engine aircraft must be within 1 hours OEI cruise.

51
Q

Destination alternate
- When required
- What is required

A

NOT required if VMC forecast for 1 hour either side of ETA.
Need 2 if weather conditions not satisfied at first one, distance must be considered in the fuel calcs.
