Q

Describe the electrical system of the Archer.

A

The Archer is equipped with a 28 volt DC electrical system and a 24 volt lead acid battery. Electrical power is supplied by a 70 amp, engine driven alternator. The battery is used as a source of emergency electrical power and for engine starts.

Q

What are the indications of a failed alternator?

A

1) “Alternator INOP” becomes illuminated.

2) Ammeter reads 0.

26
Q

Will the engine continue to run with the alternator and battery master switches turned off?

A

Yes, the magnetos keep the engine running.
Battery master is a switch that turns on electrical stuff.
Alternator is a backup for the battery.

27
Q

Describe the stall warning system.

A

The archer is equipped with an electric stall detector located on the leading edge of the left wing. The stall warning horn emits a continuous sound and is activated between 5 and 10 knots above stall speed.

28
Q

Describe the fuel system.

A

The Archer uses two 25 gallon fuel tanks. One gallon is unusable in each tank. There is one engine driven and one electrically driven fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is used for all takeoffs and landings, and when switching tanks.

29
Q

Explain how to change the fuel tanks in cruise flight.

A
  • Electric fuel pump on
  • Fuel selector from L to R or from R to L
  • Check fuel pressure
  • Electric fuel pump off
  • Check fuel pressure
30
Q

Describe the landing gear system.

A

Fixed, tricycle gear.

31
Q

How is steering accomplished on the ground?

A

Pressing the rudder peddles.

32
Q

What is the range of travel on the nose wheel?

A

20 degrees off of center on each side controlled by the rudders.

33
Q

What type of braking system is used by the archer?

A

Hydraulically actuated disk brakes on the main landing gear wheels.

34
Q

Where is the brake fluid reservoir?

A

On the top left front face of the firewall.

35
Q

What type of flaps does the Archer have?

A

Manual flaps system.

36
Q

What are the flaps settings on the Archer?

A

0, 10, 25, and 40 degrees.

37
Q

What are the maximum taxi, takeoff and landing weights?

A

Taxi: 2,558 lbs

Takeoff and landing: 2,550 lbs

38
Q

What is the maximum baggage capacity?

A

200 lbs

39
Q

Define V(x).

A

Speed for the best angle of climb.

40
Q

Define D(y).

A

Speed for the best rate of climb.

41
Q

What aircraft equipment checks are required under FAR Part 91?

A

Minimum Equipment List subpart.

42
Q

What documents are required to be on the aircraft?

A 
Airworthiness certificate
Registration
Radio license (If IFR)
Operator manual
Weight and balance
43
Q

Explain lost communications procedures (VFR).

A

1) Squak 7600
2) Return to airport traffic pattern and watch for light signals.

Verify this is right

44
Q

Explain the pitot-static system.

A

Pitot and static pressure are both received from a pitot head installed on the bottom of the left wing. And alternate static source is located inside the cabin under the left side of the instrument panel.

45
Q

Doe the PA-28 have an alternate static source? If so, how is it activated and what actions are required to acquire the most accurate reading?

A

Yes. You pull that small handle under the left side of the instrument handle. The storm window and cabin vents must be closed and the cabin heater and defroster must be on.

46
Q

What instruments are pitot-static?

A

Airspeed indicator, altimeter, vertical speed indicator

47
Q

Where is the pitot static port located?

A

The pitot head on the bottom of the left wing?

48
Q

What is the fuel capacity? How many gallons are usable?

A

50 gallons. 48 gallons.

49
Q

What grade fuel is to be used in the PA-28?

A

100 low lead avgas

50
Q

How many fuel pumps are in the aircraft?

A

Two. One engine driven and one electrically driven.

51
Q

When is the electric fuel pump to be used?

A

Takeoffs, landings, and switching tanks.

52
Q

What are the various positions on the fuel selector control?

A

L, R, and off

53
Q

In the event of an electrical failure, what pilot actions are necessary to ensure continued operation of the standby attitude indicator.

A

Press the “STBY PWR” button. This gives ~1 hour of power by draining the internal battery.

54
Q

If the standby power button on the attitude indicator is not pressed within 60 seconds of electrical failure, what will happen?

A

A flag will fall. The STBY PWR button can still be pressed, but the gyro may be uncalibrated.

55
Q

How do you determine a standard rate turn on an aircraft with a G500 system?

A

The magenta indicator reaches the first large line above the heading indicator.

56
Q

In the event of AHRS failure, which indications will no longer be displayed on the PFD? Which indications will still be visible on the PFD?

A

Lost:

  • Sky/ground presentation is removed
  • a red X appears across the Attitude direction indicator
  • Rate of turn information is unavailable

Available:

  • Airspeed
  • Altitude
  • Vertical Speed
  • Compass Rose
  • Ground Track
57
Q

Which approaches can be accomplished with an AHRS failure?

A

Precision (ILS) and non-precision (GPS, localizer, and VOR) approaches can still be accomplished.

58
Q

What instrument approaches are available with the PFD inoperative?

A

Only GPS non-precision approaches can be accomplished.

59
Q

What instrument approaches are available with the MFD inoperative?

A

If the PFD is available, all approaches can be used.

60
Q

What instrument approaches are available when both the PFD and the MFD fail?

A

Only GPS approaches

61
Q

How long does the internal battery last when providing power to the standby attitude indicator?

A

1 hour.

62
Q

With the loss of ADC, which lost instrument does not have a backup? What can you do to compensate for this?

A

There is no backup for the Vertical Speed Indicator. Known pitch attitudes combined with the attitude indicator, power settings and airspeed provide consistent results.
