Lovelace Quizzes Flashcards
What is the practical decision when facing the possibility of an engine failure on takeoff/climb from a runway that is shorter than the accelerate stop distance and accelerate go is not possible?
Assume the engine failure occurs at liftoff.
Takeoff if there are no obstacles at the end of runway and the area off the end of the runway would not create hazards
What should you do if on takeoff an engine failure occurs on the initial climb where no usable runway exists and no positive single engine climb rate will be achieved?
Don’t’ takeoff.
Turn immediately for the runway behind you.
Plan for and look for a suitable off airport landing site.

What are the priorities when an engine failure occurs during cruise?
1st - control the aircraft, 2nd - feather the inoperative propeller, 3rd - notify ATC.
1st - control the aircraft, 2nd - troubleshoot and attempt restart, 3rd - notify ATC.
1st - control the aircraft, 2nd - notify ATC, 3rd - troubleshoot and attempt a restart.
1st - control the aircraft, 2nd - troubleshoot and attempt restart, 3rd - if no restart feather inoperative propeller, 4th - notify ATC
1st - control the aircraft, 2nd - troubleshoot and attempt restart, 3rd - if no restart feather inoperative propeller, 4th - notify ATC
What should you do if an engine failure occurs during the takeoff roll past a computed V1 speed?
Continue takeoff and climb.
Throttle back and stop.
Determine the result of engine failure and act accordingly.
If you are no more than V1 + 5 knots, throttle back and stop.
Continue takeoff and climb.
What is the first priority when an engine failure occurs during climb out and you elect to continue the climb?
Maintain Directional Control.
Adjust pitch for Vyse and add full power.
Reduce drag.
Verify inoperative engine.
Identify inoperative engine.
Maintain Directional Control.
What must a pilot be aware of when in the landing flare (throttles closed) with one engine out and its propeller feathered?
The airplane will yaw into the good engine.
The airplane will yaw into the inoperative engine.
There will be no yawing tendencies.
The airplane will yaw into the good engine.
When should you extend the landing gear during a engine out landing.
On final approach.
When you commence the descent for landing.
On base leg when you are certain the landing can be made.
On final approach.
When you commence the descent for landing.
On base leg when you are certain the landing can be made.
What engine instruments are the most useful in identification of an inoperative engine?
EGT & Fuel Flow
Why does the Seminole have no guaranteed single engine climb performance at liftoff?
It is less than 6000 lbs. and its Vso is less than 61 kts
What does a multi-engine land rating on your Commercial Pilot Certificate allow you to do?
Act as P.I.C. in a multi-engine land airplane for compensation or hire.
What affect does CG have on single engine flight?
Aft CG will increase the amount of rudder deflection needed to maintain directional control.
Under what condition is VMC the highest?
CG is at the most rearward allowable position.
What is the effect of altitude on Vmca and stall speed
As altitude increases the indicated Vmca speed decreases and the indicated stall speed remains the same.
What effect does aircraft weight have upon VMC?
As weight increases Vmca decreases.
How do you know if the airspeed is below Vmca in an engine out situation?
The airplane will yaw and roll into the inoperative engine despite full opposite rudde
How should you recover from a situation where the airspeed is below Vmca with an engine inoperative?
Retard the throttle on the operating engine.
Reduce the pitch attitude.
What does Vmc guarantee?
Directional control.
What does Vyse guarantee?
Best vertical performance (climb/descent) in a single engine situation.
If an engine failure occurs at an altitude above single-engine absolute ceiling, what airspeed should be maintained?
Vyse
When would you use Vxse?
Obstruction clearance with one engine inoperative
What is the total fuel capacity of the Piper Seminole?
110 gallons
How many fuel pumps are there in the Seminole fuel system?
4
When you select “crossfeed” on one of the fuel selectors on the Piper Seminole what happens?
With both engines running you are drawing fuel from one tank
What situation must exist in order for the electric primer system to operate on the Piper Seminole?
The electric fuel pumps must be on
What is the proper procedure for crossfeeding fuel from the left tank to the right engine on the Piper Seminole?
The left fuel selector is placed in the on position and the right fuel selector is placed in the crossfeed position.
What is the rated horsepower of the Lycoming engines of the Piper Seminole?
180
What action should be taken if the cylinder head temperature is too high?
Open the cowl flap
What is the difference between turbo charging and supercharging?
Turbocharging is driven by exhaust air passing over the turbine.
Supercharging is driven by gears, which reduce the performance of the engine.
How would you know if the turbocharger (compressor) system has failed in a twin engine airplane?
The affected engine would not be able to maintain the same M.P. as the unaffected engine.
Why should you idle a turbocharger engine for a few minutes before you shut it off?
To allow the compressor to be lubricated and cooled as the turbine wheel spools down prior to shutting off the engine.
The nitrogen charge brings the propeller to _________ pitch _________ RPM.
High Pitch, Low RPM
Sluggish propeller control and propeller overspeed with poor RPM recovery after rapid throttle application are indications that?
the nitrogen charge is low
