Question 1

What height must you ensure you clear obstacles by on takeoff

Answer 1

50ft

Question 2

Equation to calculate horizontal obstacle clearance (wingspan less than 60m)

Answer 2

1/2 aircraft wingspan + 60m + 0.125D

D = distance travelled from T/O to obstacle

Question 3

In what % of the runway must you achieve a full stop

Answer 3

70%

Question 4

Landing factor if wet runway

Answer 4

1.15

X1.15 again wet grass

Question 5

Single engine service ceiling?

Answer 5

12000’

Question 6

DA42 minimum flight mass

Answer 6

1250kg

Question 7

DA42 MTOW?

Answer 7

1785kg

Question 8

DA42 Maximum ZFM ?

Answer 8

1650kg (no mod)/1674kg (188)/1730kg (188,195)

Question 9

DA42 max LM?

Answer 9

1700kg (no mod)/1785kg (195)

Question 10

DA42 MRM?

Answer 10

MTOM+8kg => 1785+8=1793kg

Question 11

T* above 55*C, what limits must you observe?

Answer 11

ZFM has to go below 1650kg

Question 12

What manoeuvres is the DA42 approved for?

Answer 12

1) All normal flight maneuvers;
2) Stalling (with the exception of dynamic stalling); and
3) Lazy Eights, Chandelles, as well as steep turns and similar maneuvers, in which
an angle of bank of not more than 60° is attained.

Stalling with asymmetric power or one engine inoperative is not permitted.

Question 13

what’s the DA42 manoeuvring altitude?

Answer 13

Max altitude 18000’ PA
Min crew 1, max 4

Load factors +3.8/-1.52 at Va
Load factors at Vne +3.8/-0
With flaps 2.0/(blank)

exceeding negative G withll produce a L/R OIL PRES warning
