Q

Describe how pilot actions may differ between engine failure and partial loss of power.

A

Engine failure: ABCDE
Partial loss: Have more time to land at better location or maybe airport. Have time to check problem. (Carb heat, fuel selector, mixture)

20
Q

When is go-around appropriate?

A

Anytime unsafe/unsatisfactory conditions are encountered.

  • Unstable/misaligned/bounce
  • ballooning/excessive floating
  • hazards
21
Q

23
Q

Usable fuel capacity? Std day, fuel consumption rate during normal cruise?

A

53 gallons.

10g/hr.

24
Q

What grade(s) of fuel can be safely used in your aircraft? What are the colors of the recommended fuel? What happens to color if diff grades are mixed?

A

100LL-blue, 100L-green

Mixed is clear (so is Jet) so dump.

25
Q

Max oil capacity? Minimum to fly?

A

Max: 9qts in plane, 8 in sump
Min: 6.5qts to fly

26
Q

Max crosswind component specified by instructor for solo takeoff/landings?

A

5K-crosswind

10K-wind

27
Q

When do you use carburetor heat during normal operations? Indications of icing? Corrective action?

A

Loss of RPM, engine roughness.
Apply full heat & leave on until all ice has melted. RPM should gradually inc, if no ice RPM dec and remains constant. Applying heat enrichment the mixture, therefore dec power.

28
Q

What is takeoff/landing distance over 50’ obstacle? Assume max weight, 80F, 29.92, winds calm.

A

Takeoff: 1762
Landing: 1367

29
Q

What are the traffic patterns for each runway at your airport? What’s MSL altitude for traffic pattern?

A

26-left
8xright
TPA-877’

30
Q

How do you enter and exit the traffic pattern at your airport? What radio communications are required?

A

Inbound: Call 10 mi, 5mi. “Distance, direction, altitude, info, intention.” Enter TP @ 877’, 45 angle into downwind.
Outbound: call ground for taxi->run up complete->tower @runway-> crosswind departure

31
Q

Radio calls in TP at an uncontrolled airport?

A

10 and 5mi out. Downwind, base, final, taxi, departure. On CTAF.

32
Q

Std TP?

A

Left

33
Q

What is CTAF? Explain CTAF procedures at your airport?

A

Common Traffic Advisory Frequency. Broadcast position and intentions to other aircraft.

Q

How do you determine if runway is closed?

A

Check NOTAMS/ATIS. X

35
Q

Typical dimensions of class D airspace and what requirements must be met prior to entry?

A

4nm surface-2500’, 2way comms.

36
Q

ATC light signals

Red: Stop, give way to others
Green: clear for takeoff, clear to land
Flashing Red: Clear runway to taxi, airport unsafe
Green/red: extreme caution
White: return to start

37

Describe B airspace boundaries and how they apply to an airport w/in that airspace. How do you use nav equip/ ground reference points to ID boundaries.

A

3-2-3: Surface-10000’, solid blue line. Can use visual reference and VOR radials as boundary markers. Must be cleared by B tower even if going to another airport.

40
Q

ATC says “squawk 2466 and ident”. Are you allowed to enter B airspace?

A

No. Must read tail # and give permission to enter.

41
