Q

Landing Procedures

A
  1. Downwind- 20” MP, 110 kts
  2. Cleared to land- 17” MP, gear down, flaps 25 degrees, 90 kts, add flaps on base/final
  3. Short final- 85 kts
18
Q

Takeoff procedures

A
  1. 2000 RPM, hold brakes
  2. Verify all in the green
  3. Vr- 75 kts
  4. Vy- 88 kts
  5. Positive rate of climb, negative runway, Gear up!!
19
Q

Maneuvering altitude for multi engine

A

3000 AGL

20
Q

Vmc demonstration procedure

A
  1. IP3C’s
  2. Reduce throttle to 15” MP- slow to 100 kts- maintain altitude and heading
  3. Reduce LEFT throttle to idle
  4. Increase RIGHT throttle to full
  5. Pitch for 88 kts- bank no more than 5 degrees
  6. Reduce airspeed 1 kt/second and increase rudder to maintain heading
  7. Indication of stall- RIGHT throttle to idle
  8. Directional control
  9. Pitch 88 kts
  10. Bring back throttles to 22” MP to recover
21
Q

Add rudder into operating engine

A

Add rudder into operating engine

22
Q

Prop configuration on takeoff

A
  • prop forward
    -low pitch/high RPM
    Ex. Bicycle- lower gear setting, more power by peddling faster with less speed
23
Q

Prop configuration in cruise

A

-prop pulled back
-high pitch/low rpm
Ex. Bicycle- higher gear setting, more power, less power needed

24
Q

What is Blue line?

A

Best single-engine climb speed

25
Q

What is Vmc?

A

Minimum speed which directional control can be maintained with one engine out.

26
Q

What are the factors that affect Vmc? (SMACFUM)

A
  1. Standard Air
  2. Max Power
  3. Aft CG
  4. Critical prop windmilling
  5. Flaps down
  6. Undercarriage/Gear down
  7. Most unfavorable weight
  8. Sideslip/bank angle
27
Q

Standard Air (Vmc)

A

Increases Vmc
Performance increases

WHY? More dense air to yaw/roll the plane

28
Q

Max Power (Vmc)

A

Vmc increases
Performance increases

WHY? The more thrust on the operating engine, the more rudder is needed to stop the resulting yaw.

29
Q

Aft CG (Vmc)

A

Vmc increases
Performance increases

WHY?

AFT CG = less stable, shorter arm to control surfaces, less leverage.
Performance = Increases with Aft CG due to tail down force. Less lift is required to keep the airplane level. Increase in airspeed due to less AOA needed to keep the airplane level.

Anything moving the CG FORWARD, will make the rudder more effective. Larger arm = larger rudder moment = rudder more effective

30
Q

Critical Prop Windmilling (Vmc)

A

Vmc increases
Performance decreases

WHY? Vmc increases due to increased drag and yawning to inop engine.
Performance decreases due to increased drag.

31
Q

Flaps down (Vmc)

A

Vmc decreases
Performance decreases

WHY? Vmc decreases because more induced drag from good engine prevents yaw towards dead engine. Performance decreases because more airflow over flaps causes greater drag, causing increased yaw/roll. More adverse yaw = more induced drag.

32
Q

Gear down (Vmc)

A

Vmc depends on location of CG
Performance decreases

WHY? Vmc depends on location of CG and can decrease with keel effect. Performance decreases because of parasite drag.
GEAR DOWN- acts like the keel of a boat giving the aircraft a stabilizing effect. This stabilizing effect helps prevent a turn, which lowers Vmc.

33
Q

Sideslip/bank angle (Vmc)

A

0 degrees of bank- Vmc increases, performance decreases

2-3 degrees of bank- Vmc neutral, performance increases

5 degrees of bank- Vmc decreases, performance decreases

34
Q

Most unfavorable weight (Vmc)- lighter weight

A

Vmc increases
Performance decreases

35
Q

What determines the critical engine?(PAST)

A

P-factor
Accelerated slipstream
Spiraling slipstream
Torque

36
Q

How are the negative characteristics of a swept wing mitigated?

A

Leading edge slats
Flaps

37
Q

What is V1?

A

V1- commit to fly speed. At which time you determine to continue the flight if an engine fails.

38
Q

In Air:
- Throttle controls MP
-Prop controls RPM

A

Cruise setting:
1. Throttle sets MP
2. Prop sets RPM

Climb setting:
1. Prop first
2. Throttle second

To reduce power we start with the knob closest to us. To increase power it’s the opposite.
