27
Q

Describe stall warning system

A

Electronic stall warning system on left wing; activated 5-10 knots above stall speed

28
Q

Describe the fuel system

A

2-tank @25 gallons each
(one gallon in each tank unusable)

100LL avgas

Engine driven and electric fuel pumps

29
Q

Explain how to change fuel tanks in flight.

A
  1. Turn electric pump on
  2. Switch fuel tanks
  3. Check fuel pressure
  4. Turn electric pump off

30
Q

How is steering accomplished on the ground?

A

Rudder pedals

31
Q

What is the range of travel of the nose wheel?

A

20 degrees each direction

Shimmy dampener dampens nose wheel vibrations and steadies during flight

33
Q

What type of brake system is used?

A

Hydraulic disc brakes

34
Q

Where is the brake fluid reservoir?

Registration
Radio station license 
Operators handbook (POH)
Weight and balance
External data plate
Compass deviation card
41
Q

Explain lost communication procedures.

A

VFR: squawk 7600 and land as soon as practicable

IFR:
Route (first that applies)-assigned, vectored, expected, filed

Altitude: (highest until descent)-minimum IFR altitude, expected, assigned

42
Q

Does the PA-28 have an alternate static source?

A

Yes; window and cabin vents closed, heater and defroster on

43
Q

What instruments are pitot-static?

A

Airspeed indicator

Altimeter

Vertical speed indicator

44
Q

Where is the pitot-static port?

A

Under left wing

45
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. To keep gyro accurate, press within 60 seconds

46
Q

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

A

The gyro will no longer be calibrated to the airplane when power is restored

47
Q

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

A

Use the reference lines and the magenta line that appears above the heading indicator to identify a standard rate or half-standard rate turn

48
Q

PFD

A

Primary Flight Display

49
Q

MFD

A

Multi-Function Display

50
Q

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

A 
Airspeed 
Altitude 
Vertical Speed 
Compass Rose (supplemented by gps)
Ground Track (supplemented by gps)
51
Q

Which approaches can be accomplished with an AHRS failure?

A

Any precision or non-precision approach using the HSI (horizontal situation indicator) on the PFD

52
Q

What instrument approaches are available with the PFD inoperative? With the MFD inoperative? With a total PFD/MFD failure?

A

PFD failure: only gps approach
MFD failure: all approaches
Total PFD/MFD failure: only gps approach

53
Q

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

A

There is no backup for VSI

54
Q

AHRS

A

Attitude heading reference system

55
Q

ADC

A
