Normal Operations Flashcards
What factors to consider when starting the second engine?
·
Passenger and ground support equipment location.
· Engine that is closest to the battery.
· Engine that is farthest located from the pilot to better hear any abnormal sounds.
What is asymmetric thrust when turning the plane?
help in making turns tighter when required.
What is the problem when executing an asymmetrical trust?
On the ground operations when turning
inboard engine in a turn may want to die out when executing a ground turn.
During a run up, what do you need to look when comparing to engines?
· Magneto Check – Are the two engines dropping their RPM within the tolerances of the POH?
· Prop Check – Are the engine propellers operating/changing configuration at the same rate?
· Carburetor Heat Check – Are the engine carb heat functions working within specification?
What are the advantages of running 2 engines during run up?
Compare the engines
Nose gear doesn’t have side loading
What are the situations that can be dangerous when you run two engines during run up?
a slippery surface
the aircraft creeping up even as the brakes are applied.
What are the important Pre-Takeoff Considerations?
· Airspeed awareness
· Select go / no-go takeoff point using performance charts in the POH
· Review a plan of action for the post takeoff phase (Where will you go or what will you do if an engine fails after takeoff?)
· Explain Select go / no-go takeoff point using performance charts in the POH
airborne by a predetermined point in the runway and decide whether a takeoff should be continued
What is Accelerate Stop Distance
the distance the aircraft will travel while accelerating to lift off speed and then coming to a full stop after liftoff speed is achieved.
What is considered when calculating Accelerate to stop distance?
full braking is being implemented
engines are running at full power prior to brake release.
What is Accelerate to go distance?
the distance required to accelerate to lift off speed, have an engine failure at distance speed, and continue the takeoff at a height of 50 feet.
What are the considerations for accelerate to go distance?
· Immediate feathering of the failed engine propellers at engine failure time.
· Weights may be lower than the aircraft’s max gross weight.
Why do we have 2 stall warnings?
The inboard detector triggers the warning sound when the flaps arein the 25-40 degree position.
The outboard detector triggers the warning sound when the flaps are in the 0-10 degree position.
