MEP Mock Flashcards
If power is lost on one engine in a full power climb how much total power would you lose
Up to 50%
What does the throttle lever control on variable pitch propellers
RPM below the CSU range
What is the purpose of a voltage regulator in a multi-engine airplane electrical system
To ensure load sharing between both alternators and maintain correct voltage output
How is the efficiency of a propeller defined
Activatio of the thrust horsepower to shaft horsepower
What is the effect of an increasing altitude on vmc
Vmc reduces because reducing air density also reduces maximum thrust
Following an engine failure how are the cowl flaps set
Live engine open
Failed engine closed
For a non turbocharged engine what is the relationship between vmc and vstall at different altitudes
Indicated vstall basically remains constant whilst vmc decreases
Best single engine performance can be gained following an engine failure in climb using grudder to stop your plus up to five degree bank towards the live engine because
Minimum drag results from the site force due to the displacement lift vector particularly balancing out the side force due to rudder input
What factors he included in the determination of vmca
Up to 5° bank towards the live engine
CofG at Aft Limit
Flaps in take off position
ISA
A typical method of absorbing an increase in designed engine output is to
Increase the number of propellers
When does the ‘stick limit’ caution announciate in the event of a failure of the variable elevator backstop limiter
When the flaps are in landing position
Following a real life engine shut down in the da42 no attempt should be made to go around in the event of a baulked landing below
800ft above the airfield
After 8,000 ft pressure altitude engine restart should not be attempted because
The AFM states that it has not been demonstrated
What is the maximum maneuvering speed for the da42 when approved for flight into known or forecast icing conditions and at various weights
126KIAS above 1542kg
