Pitot RWY

Question 1

If both the ram air input and drain hole of the pitot system are blocked, what airspeed indication can be expected if large power changes are made?

Answer 1

Remain constant in level flight even during power changes.

Remains constant in Level

Question 2

While climbing out of icy conditions, the ram air input and drain hole of the pitot system are blocked. What reaction should you observe?

Answer 2

No change until an actual climb rate is established, then indicated airspeed will increase.

Acts like altimeter when RAM & Drain Blocked

Question 3

What indication should a pilot observe if an airspeed indicator ram air input and drain hole are blocked?

Answer 3

The airspeed indicator will react as an altimeter.

RAM & Drain Blocked: AI = ALT

Question 4

Your aircraft is equipped with a venturi system. What three instruments will be affected if the venturi is clogged by ice?

Answer 4

Turn and slip indicator, heading indicator, and attitude indicator.

Venturi Iced: THAI (TC, Heading, AI)

Question 5

Under which conditions is hydroplaning most likely to occur?

Answer 5

During conditions of standing water, slush, high speed, and smooth runway texture.

Hydroplane: STD’g 💧, 🥶Slush, SPD High🏎️, Smooth RWY 🛬
SSSS

Question 6

You are landing on a wet, smooth surface runway. As you touch down, the airplane begins to hydroplane. What should you do?

Answer 6

Raise the nose to increase aerodynamic drag to help slow the airplane as fast as possible.

Hydroplane: Raise 👃 for Aero Drag
