A

Carb heat provides heated air to the carburetor in the event of icing and also serves as the alternate source of engine air

79
Q

What is the temperature range where carb ice is most likely to occur?

A

-7 C to 21 C; also when relative humidity is high

80
Q

How many cowl flap settings are there?

A

3 - full open, full closed, intermediate

81
Q

What is the advantage of counter-rotating props?

A

This eliminates the “critical engine” and lowers VMCA

82
Q

What is the critical engine?

A

The engine whose failure most adversely affects the aircraft, i.e. the one with the shortest moment arm thus requiring less resisting force to maintain directional control

83
Q

What controls the pitch of the prop?

A

Oil pressure supplied by the governor and nitrogen from the propeller dome. Oil pressure sends the propeller toward the high rpm or unfeather position, nitrogen and a large spring send the prop toward the low rpm or feather position and prevents over speeding

84
Q

What is the precharge pressure of the unfeathering accumulator?

A

70-75 PSI (depending on temperature)

85
Q

How long does it take for the prop to feather?

A

10-17 seconds

86
Q

What is the PSI in the prop governor?

A

200-300 PSI

87
Q

What kind of gear system is installed in the Seminole?

A

electrically controlled/activated, hydraulically actuated

88
Q

How long does gear take to cycle?

A

6-7 seconds

89
Q

How is the gear held in the extended position?

A

Down locks hooks, springs maintain force on each hook

90
Q

What happens when the emergency gear extension is used?

A

Hydraulic pressure is released and the gear freefalls

91
Q

Where is the gear pump and reservoir located?

A

In the tail section

92
Q

Where is the squat switch?

A

Left main gear

93
