The Seminole is equipped with two electric stall detectors located on the left wing. The inboard detector provides stall warning at flaps 25˚ or 40˚ and the outboard at flaps 0˚ or 10˚. The purpose of the two tabs is to provide adequate stall warning at varied angles of attack. The electric stall tabs are deactivated on the ground through the use of the squat switch on the left main landing gear.

49
Q
  1. Describe the fuel system.
A

The Seminole, which uses 100 low lead avgas (blue), is equipped with two 55-gallon bladder nacelle tanks. One gallon is unusable in each tank. There are two engine-driven and two electrically driven fuel pumps. The electric fuel pumps are used for engine start, takeoff, landing, and fuel selector changes.

50
Q
  1. Explain how to cross feed fuel.
A

Crossfeed operation is limited to straight and level flight only. The correct procedure for crossfeed operations to supply the left engine with fuel from the right tank is: 1. Left engine electric boost pump on. 2. Left fuel selector selected to “X-FEED.” 3. Check left fuel pressure. 4. Left engine electric boost pump off. 5. Check fuel pressure.

51
Q
  1. Describe the landing gear system. A. How is the landing gear actuated? Describe the pump.
A

The Seminole is equipped with hydraulically actuated, fully retractable, tricycletype landing gear. Hydraulic pressure for gear operation is provided by an electrically powered, reversible hydraulic pump.

52
Q
  1. B. What keeps the gear in the up position?
A

The gear is held in the up position solely by hydraulic pressure.

53
Q
  1. C. What keeps the gear in the down position?
A

Springs assist in gear extension and in locking the gear in the down position. After the gear is down and the downlock hooks engage, springs maintain force on each hook to keep it locked until it is released by applying hydraulic pressure with the gear selector.

54
Q
  1. E. In what three situations will the landing gear horn activate?
A

A gear warning system is activated under any of the following conditions: 1. The gear is not locked down with the throttle lever positioned below approximately 15” manifold pressure (MP) on one or both engines. 2. The gear is not locked down with wing flaps selected to 25˚ or 40˚. 3. The gear handle is in the up position on the ground (tested only by authorized maintenance personnel).

55
Q
  1. F. What unit will not allow the gear to be retracted on the ground?
A

Gear retraction on the ground is prevented by a squat switch located on the left main landing gear. On the ground, the switch is open, preventing electrical current from reaching the hydraulic pump. Once airborne, the strut becomes fully extended, closing the switch that allows current to reach the hydraulic pump.

56
Q
  1. G. What is the procedure to extend the gear manually (Emergency Gear Extension)?
A

After placing the gear selector in the down position, pulling the red emergency gear extension knob releases the hydraulic pressure which is holding the gear in the up position and allows the gear to free-fall down.

57
Q
  1. H. What airspeed is of importance during manual gear extension?
A

Emergency gear extension is limited to a maximum of 100 KIAS due to air-load on the nose gear

58
Q
  1. I. Are the brake and the landing gear hydraulics interconnected?
A

The hydraulic system for the brakes is independent of that for the landing gear.

59
Q
  1. J. If you lose gear hydraulics, will you still have brakes?
A

Yes

60
Q
  1. K. What indicates that the gear is in transit and the hydraulic pump is activated?
A

61
Q
  1. What type of braking system is used by the Seminole? Where is the brake fluid serviced?
A

The Seminole is equipped with hydraulically actuated disk brakes on the main landing gear wheels. Braking is accomplished by depressing the tops of the rudder pedals. The hydraulic system for the brakes is independent of that for the landing gear. The brake fluid reservoir for servicing is located in the nose cone.

62
Q
  1. What type of flaps does the Seminole have? A. What are the flap settings on the Seminole?
A

The Seminole is equipped with a manual flap system. The flaps are extended with a lever located between the two pilot seats. Flap settings are 0˚, 10˚, 25˚ and 40˚ and are spring-loaded to return to the 0˚ position.

66
Q
  1. Who determines VMC for a particular aircraft?
A

Piper determined VMC for the Seminole at 1,500’ MSL with a weight of 2,730 lbs. and 5˚ bank into the operating engine. The test results were then computed to sea level conditions.

67
Q
  1. Define VMC
A

VMC is the minimum airspeed at which directional control can be maintained with the critical engine inoperative. VMC speed is marked on the airspeed indicator by a red radial line. Aircraft manufacturers determine VMC speed based on conditions set by the FAA under FAR §23.149:

68
Q
  1. Why is an aft CG used in determining VMC?
A

As the center of gravity moves forward, the moment arm between the rudder and the CG is lengthened, increasing the leverage of the rudder. This increased leverage increases the rudder’s effectiveness and results in a lower VMC speed.

69
Q
  1. What are the factors in determining VMC?
A

S - Standard day conditions. (increases Vmc, bad)
M - Max power on operational engine. (increases Vmc, bad)
A - Aft legal C.G. (increases Vmc, bad)
C - Critical engine prop windmilling. (increases Vmc, bad)
F - Flaps up, Gear up. (increases Vmc, bad)
U - Up to 5 degrees of bank into operating engine. (decreases Vmc, GOOD)
M - Most unfavorable weight: light. (increases Vmc, bad)

70
Q
  1. Define critical engine and list the factors used to determine it.
A

“The critical engine is the engine that, when it fails, most adversely affects the performance and handling qualities of the airplane. P P-Factor
A Accelerated Slipstream
S Spiraling Slipstream
T Torque”

71
Q
  1. What causes an aircraft to sideslip with the loss of an engine, and what action is required to correct this?
A

When an engine failure occurs, thrust from the operating engine yaws the aircraft. The solution to maintaining aircraft heading and reducing drag to improve performance is the Zero Sideslip Condition.

72
Q
  1. How much climb performance is lost when an engine fails?
A

When a multi-engine airplane loses an engine, the airplane loses 50% of its available power. This power loss results in a loss of approximately 80% of the aircraft’s excess power and climb performance.

73
Q
  1. What aircraft equipment checks are required under FAR part 91?
A

ATP’s aircraft do not operate under the guidance of a minimum equipment list (MEL), and instead operate in accordance with the following FAR 91.213 subpart.

74
Q
  1. A. Define absolute service ceiling.
A

Single-engine absolute ceiling is the maximum density altitude that an aircraft can attain or maintain with the critical engine inoperative. VYSE and VXSE are equal at this altitude. The aircraft drifts down to this altitude when an engine fails.

75
Q
  1. B. Define single-engine service ceiling.
A

Single-engine service ceiling is the maximum density altitude at which the single-engine best rate of climb airspeed (VYSE) will produce a 50 FPM rate of climb with the critical engine inoperative.

76
Q
  1. What documents are required to be on the aircraft?
A

79
Q
  1. Will the propeller feather below 950 RPM. Why or why not?
A

Regardless of the Prop Lever position, if oil pressure is lost, the propeller will feather when the RPM is above 950 RPM. Typically, RPM will be above 950 in flight and on takeoff roll and landing roll due to airflow over the propeller.

80
Q
  1. Explain the pitot static system. A. Does the PA-44 have an alternate static source? If so, how is it activated and what actions are necessary to acquire the most accurate reading?
A

An alternate static source is located inside the cabin under the left side of the instrument panel for use in the event of static port blockage. When using the alternate static source, the storm window and cabin vents must be closed, and the heater and defroster must be turned on. This will reduce the pressure differential between the cockpit and the atmosphere, reducing pitot static error.

81
Q
  1. B. What instruments are pitot static?
A

The pitot static instruments are the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and VSI.

82
Q
  1. C. Where is the pitot static port located?
A

The heated pitot mast (combined pitot tube and static port) is located underneath the left wing.

83
Q
  1. How do you prevent a heater overheat?
A

To prevent activation of the overheat switch upon normal heater shutdown during ground operation, turn the three-position switch to “FAN” for two minutes with the air intake lever in the open position before turning the switch off. During flight, leave the air intake open for a minimum of 15 seconds after turning the switch to off.
