Land Flying Phase Flashcards
What is the maximum structural cruise speed (Vno) for the Panther?
185kts
What is the minimum control speed (Vmca) for the Panther?
83kts
What is the recommended climb SE (Vyse) for the Panther?
108kts
What are the three flap settings for the Panther?
15° - Less than 150kts
25° - Less than 140kts
40° - Less than 140kts
How are the flaps powered in the Panther?
An electrical motor
How is the landing gear operated in the Panther?
Via hydraulics
What is the limiting speed whilst the undercarriage is deployed?
130kts
When will the undercarriage warning system sound?
With power below 12” of manifold pressure and the gear selector in the up position.
If the landing gear handle has inadvertently been placed in the up position on the ground.
What engine is the critical engine?
Left
What is critical engine theory?
The downgoing propeller provides more thrust, causing a greater yaw action.
Below what engine oil pressure is hazardous to the engine?
<25psi
What is the minimum oil capacity of the Panther in accordance with 2Excel requirements?
7Qts
What fuel does the Panther use?
100AVGAS or 100LL AVGAS
What are the Panther’s fuel capacities?
Total = 720L
Inboard = 420L total
Outboard = 300L total
What is the display and monitoring system on the Panther called?
EDM 960
What must be done with fuel upon take off.
Fuel on inboard tanks should be moved to outboard tanks. The key is to monitor the balancing carefully and regularly.
What is the max RPM?
2575
What is the max EGT?
1500°F
What is the max oil temp?
245°F
What are the oil pressure boundaries?
25-100psi
What are the fuel pressure boundaries?
34-55psi
What are the advantages of using IR sensors?
Day and night
Activity through heat/emissivity
Passive detector
What are the advantages of an EO sensor?
See in colour
Interpretability
Passive
What does the force transducer do on the UHC?
Steers the turret and navigates the menus
When would you stow the turret?
Taxi
Take off
Landing
Bad weather
What are the three pointing modes?
Inertial point
Heading hold
Geopoint
What are the voltage boundaries?
24-30v
What current is required in the Panther?
A positive rate of charge (>0)
Where does the Pneumatic System supply air pressure to?
Gyro operated instruments:
- Attitude Indicator
- Direction indicator
- Horizontal Situation Indicator
- Autopilot
- Turn/Slip Indicator
De-icer boots on wing/tail/elevators
What should you not do if the Pneumatic System fails?
Use the autopilot
What are the gyro pressure limits?
4.3 - 6.1”
What are the icing condition limits for the Panther?
10°C or less AND visible signs of moisture
What does the boot solenoid valve do?
Sends air to the boots and cuts off air to the copilot’s gyros to prevent damage.
What should be considered when de-icing?
Airframe noise may be heard.
Copilot’s gyroscopic instruments may be effected.
What parts of the aircraft are heated for de-icing purposes?
Left and right pitot tubes
Pilot side windows
Propellor mats
What is TAS?
Traffic Advisory System
Warning system only, only shows transponder equipped aircraft, so the flight deck must self deconflict.
Following the system saying “Warning Warning” visual of the aircraft should be acquired.
What is the AIMS quick start process?
Launch the software
Create a new mission
Enable capture mode and record
Stabilise on the platform position

What does PITHBBLOT stand for?
P - Pressure - Disturbance of air flow on static valves.
Instrument - Imperfections in manufacture.
Temperature - Difference in ICAO temperature and reality.
Hysteresis - Differing elastic response at different temperatures.
Barometric - Difference in ICAO pressure and reality.
