Autopilot operation speed limits
90-180 kt
27
Autopilot operation height limits
200ft AGL in approach and departure 800ft AGL other phases
28
Critical Engine on DA42
Left
29
"Pitot Fail" meaning
Pitot heat failure; or Overheat on the ground leading to temporary thermal cutout
30
"LOI" warning
GPS integrity insufficient for phase of flight
31
Max starter time
10 seconds
32
Engines - # cylinders - # stroke - sump type
4 cylinder 4 stroke Wet sump
33
Feathering rpm limit
Switching off engine master feathers the engine, but only if rpm is above 1300rpm.
34
Validity of instrument rating
12 months from skills test Revalidation by proficiency check within 3 months of expiry date
35
Privileges of Instrument Rating
Able to fly in IFR conditions down to decision height of 200ft
36
Semi-circular rule (IFR)
Track 0 - 179: Odds FL30, FL50,... Track 180 - 359: Evens FL40, FL60,...
37
ATS services
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
Minimum En-route Altitude vs Minimum Safe Altitude
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
RVR vs visibility
RVR is specific to the runway and takes into consideration runway lighting. General visibility is usually lower.
40
Visual references required to pass DA/MDA
Main runway lights
41
LPV vs LNAV/VNAV
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
Requirement to go below MDA on circling approach
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
How to do missed approach from circling approach
Make an initial call towards the landing runway Intercept the missed approach track and climb away
44
Action on radio failure
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
Position report format
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
Stapleford minima for TO & L
TO: 300ft AAL, 1000m L: 1000ft AAL, 1500m [Instrument procedures per the procedure minima]
47
Electrical system
28v DC
48
Backup batteries
30 minute backup for the ECU only 12V, 7.2 Ah batteries under each seat
49
Main battery voltage
24V, 13.6 Ah
50
Take off alternate - When required - What is required
Required if landing minima not met at the departure aerodrome. For 2 engine aircraft must be within 1 hours OEI cruise.
51
Destination alternate - When required - What is required
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.
52
Documents always required on board (4)
Flight Manual Details of flight plan (as filed) Charts Interception info
