Notes 5 Flashcards
What is the altitude considered mid altitude flying?
12000 to 18000
what altitude is the most possible of icing in cold and warm weather?
15000 to 20000

FL170/TB B777/TB MDT CHOP in CLDS
You
What does low pitch do in non-fix propeller plane?
High RPM during takeoff and climb
What does high pitch do in non-fix propeller plane?
LOW RPM , cruise flight and descents
What does the manifold pressure gauge do?
Measures the pressure of the fuel and air mixture right before entering the cylinder
what is the relationship between manifold and throttle?
If throttle is open, manifold gauge will indicate high and when idle, manifold pressure will indicate less.
What is the air-fuel mixture?
between 8 and 18 pounds of air per 1 pound of fuel will burn. 15 to 1 is the perfect.
If engine is heated too much? what is the next step?
lean mixture
pitch attitude
cowl flaps
O2 requirement
- 500 if more tan 30mins, crew
14000: all crew at all times
15000: everyone
for hire, O2 rule.
used by each pilot after 30mins 10.000 to 12000
used continuously after 12000
What is a pressurization system?
maintains cabin altitude lower than actual flying altitude
what doesn’t pressurization provide?
creates lower pressure inside
Class A altitude
18000-FL600
CLASS IFR or VFR
Always IFR. Even VFR on top is not allowed
