Q

The Airspeed Indicator Yellow ARC tells you the

A

range which it’s safe to operate in smooth air, or it’s also known as your caution range.

20
Q

The Airspeed Indicator Green Arc is where

A

the majority of your operations happen.

21
Q

The Airspeed Indicator Green Arc lower limits are

A

where we get our stall speeds

22
Q

VSO

A

this is our stall speed in the lower configuration. Our landing gear is out.

23
Q

VSI

A

the take off configuration and our landing gear is in.

24
Q

The Airspeed Indicator white arc is

A

the flap operating range.

25
Q

VFE

A

to extend the flaps fully.

26
Q

Cold air typically brings

A

lower pressure

27
Q

The altimeter changes roughly

A

1000ft per 1”

28
Q

Gyroscopic Instruments

A

Periodically realign with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses.

29
Q

Is situation awareness increased or decreased in a glass cockpit?

A

increased

30
Q

What does a glass cockpit allow you to do more of?

A

to look outside and fly the airplane.

31
Q

The throttle controls power output as registered on the manifold pressure gauge and the prop control regardless of RPM.

A

What is a constant speed propeller?

32
Q

What is a constant speed propeller?

A

Allows pilot to choose the blade angle

33
Q

What keeps the manifold pressure lower than RPM?

A

Constant Speed Propeller

34
Q

In the air of a constant speed propeller

A 
Throttle = manifold pressure
Prop = RPM (tachometer)
35
Q

If the engine switch ground wire becomes disconnected from the magneto, the engine?

A

May continue to fire.

36
Q

With regard to carb ice, float type carburetor systems, in comparison to fuel injection systems, are considered to be?

A

More susceptible to icing.

37
Q

Carburetor icing can occur between what temperatures? (F)

A

20F-70F

38
Q

What is the first sign that carburetor icing is occuring?

A

The first sign of carb ice is a decrease in RPM.

39
Q

If you use carb heat to stop carburetor icing what effect does that cause?

A

Use of carb heat causes a decrease in performance.

40
Q

When does detonation occur?

A

Detonation occurs when the fuel mixture ignites instantaneously instead of burning progressively and evenly.

41
Q

What does pre-ignition occur?

A

Pre-Ignition is the uncontrolled firing of a fuel charge in advanced of the normal ignition.

42
Q

Applying carburetor heat will

A

enrich the fuel/air mixture.

A

A turn coordinator provides an indication of the

44
Q

A positive indication on an ammeter

A

shows the rate of charge on the battery.

45
Q

The operating principle of float-type carburetors is based on the

A

difference in air pressure at the venturi throat and the air inlet.

46
Q

The uncontrolled firing of the fuel/air charge in advance of normal spark ignition is known as

A

pre-ignition.
