Q

What would indicate the generator has failed?

A

Steady discharge on ammeter and voltage indication under 12 volts.

20
Q

Talk about the spar pin unsafe override switch.

A

If a fault occurs in the spar pin indication system and an in-flight engine restart is necessary, this switch will override the disabling of the starter.

21
Q

Engine fire during start

A

If confined to intake or exhaust system (engine flooding) -
Continue cranking engine with starter
Choke - push open
Throttle - full open
Inspect aircraft for damage and cause prior to restart

22
Q

Engine fire during flight

A 
Fuel off
Ignition switches off
Expedited descent and land immediately
Radio
Master off
Airspeed down to 60 (55 minimum) on final
Flaps down after landing assured
Open canopy
Touchdown with minimum airspeed
23
Q

Electrical fire

A

All electrical switches off (leave ignitions on)
Air vent open if needed
Use extinguisher, if available
Land immediately

24
Q

Generator/Electrical Failure

A

Failure:
Turn off all non-essential electrical equip to conserve battery power - including avionics. EFIS & GPS will continue on internal batteries for a LIMITED time.
Land asap
Runaway Generator:
Pull 30A main bus fuse immediately
Turn off all non-essential elec equip to conserve battery power - including avionics. EFIS & GPS will continue on internal batteries for a LIMITED time.
Land asap

25
Q

Engine failure on take-off

A 
Immediately & aggressively move control stick forward to prevent loss of airspeed.
Airspeed 60 (55 min)
If airborne w/sufficient runway - throttle close and max breaking after touchdown.
If airborne w/insufficient runway - attempt engine restart if altitude permits:
   Check fuel on 
   Choke - check open/push
   Ignition switches both on
   Fuel pump - check fuse
If restart is impossible:
   Select best landing option
   Flaps full down
   Fuel shut-off valve - off
   Ignition switches - off
   Master off
   Touchdown w/min airspeed
26
Q

Engine air restart

A

Maintain airspeed - 60 (55 min)
Ignitions both on
Fuel pump - check fuse
Fuel on
Choke open
If restart not possible: change throttle and/or choke settings in attempt to restart
Follow “forced landing procedure” if unable to restart

27
Q

Precautionary Landing Approach

A

When power is still available but complete power failure is considered imminent.
Normal procedures (higher & closer pattern than normal)
Airspeed - 60 (55 min)
Throttle - closed when in gliding distance of runway
Flaps - Lower as needed

28
Q

Forced Landing

A 
Complete power failure
Max gliding distance airspeed - 63
Fuel shut-off valve - off - pull up
Flaps up to maximize glide range
Radio - mayday 121.5 (or freq in use)
Attempt to position aircraft approximately 1000 feet AGL when on downwind & abeam intended point of landing
Ignitions both off
On final approach - airspeed 60 (55 min) and flaps down after landing point assured
Master off
Open canopy
Touchdown with min airspeed
29
Q

Ditching

A

Forced landing over water - follow Forced Landing procedures plus:
Land into wind if high winds are evident or parallel to swells with calm winds.
Flaps up
Unlatch canopy
Contact water with nose-high attitude
After full stop exit aircraft

30
Q

Severe turbulence

A

Do not exceed 108 kts. To minimize discomfort, decrease CAS below 90 kts. Maintain level flight attitude as pitot-static indications may become erratic.

31
Q

Stall Recovery - what flight control is most effective and what actions should you take?

A

Rudder is far more effective than ailerons in stalled condition.
Lower nose
Throttle open
Use rudder for lateral control

32
Q

Spin Recovery

A 
PARE
Power out
Ailerons neutral
Rudder opposite
Elevator Forward
   Once rotation stops, 
Rudder - neutral
Raise nose to level flight
33
Q

Runaway Trim Motor

A

Pull trim fuse ASAP
Stabilator - hold against out of trim condition
Airspeed may be reduced to lessen amount of force required for level flight
Land as soon as possible

34
Q

Soft Field Take-Off

A

Flaps - 1st detent
Do not stop - remain on the move into take-off roll
Raise nose to take-off attitude (keeps weight off front wheel)
Lift off as early as possible
Remain in ground effect until airspeed allows for climb
Flaps up after 500 AGL

35
Q

Slow Flight

A

Reduce power and allow a/c to decelerate to 60 kt IAS while maintaining altitude.
Trim
Adjust power to achieve target airspeed while maintaining altitude

36
Q

Power-Off Stalls

A

Power to idle

Maintain wings-level flight while increasing nose-up attitude to maintain target altitude until aircraft stalls

37
Q

Power-On Stalls

A

Establish full power, wings level climb at 65 kt IAS

Increase nose-up attitude by approximately 15 degrees an maintain that attitude as airspeed decays to stall

38
Q

What are the Primary Flight Controls?

A

Ailerons (Flaperons on RV12) (roll)
Rudder (yaw)
Elevator (Stabilator on RV12) (pitch)

39
Q

What are the Secondary Flight Controls?

A 
Flaps (Flaperons on RV12)
Trim Systems
Leading Edge Devices
Spoilers 
Secondary flight controls improve performance characteristics
40
Q

What do the flaps do?

A

Create the lift necessary to maintain flight at a slower speed. They also increase drag.

41
Q

What does the Stabilator do?

A

It’s an upside down airfoil - a pitch control surface.

Creates downward lift/force

42
Q

Landing gear/Brakes/Steering

A

Tricycle gear
Brakes??
Castering nosewheel allows for steering using brakes

43
Q

Fuel/Oil/Hydrolic

A

100LL or avgas only - a/c holds 19.8 gallons

Oil - sport weight - must be up to indentation on stick

44
Q

Electrical system

A

Not sure what to say about this yes. Backup batteries?

45
Q

Avionics

A

Dynon Skyview system - not sure what else to say about this either??

46
Q

Pitot-Static system, vacuum/pressure and associated flight instruments

A

Pitot system is comprised of the pitot tube, static port and instruments:
Altimeter
Vertical Speed Indicator
Airspeed Indicator

47
Q

What are the 3 gyroscopic instruments?

A

Altitude Indicator
Heading Indicator
Turn Indicator/Coordinator
