Question 1

most common items put on an expense report

Answer 1

travel expenses to and from hitches

Question 2

if MOC is done before a flight for customer, do you have to do a separate FSO?

Answer 2

yes you do

Question 3

explain airflow through the engine

Answer 3

air comes in through air inlet and filters where it travels through the compressor section and into the combustion section where it reverse flows and is forced into turbine section to be ignited and sent out the exhaust

Question 4

where does MGT get its information?

Answer 4

gases passing through the turbine is sensed by means of four thermocouple located between the NG and NP turbine wheels.

Question 5

what is the electrical load indication if the battery is in a charged condition

Answer 5

28.5 +or- .5 volts

Question 6

what is not available if you experience a total electrical failure over water

Question 7

how does fuel get from main tank to forward tank

Answer 7

by two means: a gravity transfer line when the aft cell is above the standpipe. and a pressure transfer line form the forward transfer pumps

Question 8

Purpose of the bleed air system

Answer 8

bleed control valve is open during starting and idle operation and remains open until a predetermined pressure ratio is obtained. at this pressure ratio, the valve begins to modulate form open to the closed position. normally open during the start cycle and ground idle, modulated during acceleration full operational speed, and remains closed during flight operation speeds. pressure sensing for bleed control valve operation is within the valve.

Question 9

how does engine anti ice work

Answer 9

Compressor discharge air that has been heated due to compression, flows through the anti ice valve to the compressor front support passages.

Question 10

how does cabin heat work

Green- continuous
Yellow- 5 minute
Red-max 5 min takeoff

Question 17

Question 25

Who must develop an adverse weather plan?

Answer 25

Lead Pilot
REF: p.1-18

Question 26

What section of the GOM covers General Flight Operations?

Answer 26

Section 2

Question 27

Where is the EMI/EFI Flight Test Profile found?

Answer 27

D.O.M. must be contacted for the form. REF: 2.8, p.2-7

Question 28

When shall the W&B information be entered on the DFL/Load Manifest?

Answer 28

(a) Before takeoff as appropriate to ME or SE aircraft. REF: 2.61,p 2-48
(b) To facilitate situational awareness the pilot may record time, weight &
balance data either immediately on the DFL itself, or on another location (e.g. Trip Sheet from Section 4), then transfer it to the DFL at a safer time but no later than the completion of the last leg of the current flight.
REF: 2.13, p 2-11 NOTE.
