35
Q

Describe RPM and pitch relationship

A

High RPM = Low pitch

Low RPM = High pitch

36
Q

Does more oil px give you more or less RPM/pitch?

A

More oil px = more RPM & low pitch

37
Q

List components of prop governor

A

Pilot valve
Flyweights
Speeder spring
Counterweights
Oil pump
Unfeather accumulator

38
Q

Where is the prop governor located?

A

rear side of engine

39
Q

Prop will not feather below what RPM and why?

A

below 800 RPM because of anti-feather lock pin

40
Q

When you add power how is the prop governor responding?

A

When you add power –> flyweights move to divert oil away from hub –> increases pitch –> lowers prop speed

41
Q

What is unfeathering accumlator charged to?

A

300 psi

42
Q

Does the unfeathering accumulator turn the prop?

A

No, it does not turn prop. It just twists the blades. The wind will turn the prop.

43
Q

How many fuel tanks are there?

A

4x

2 mains
2 aux

44
Q

How much fuel do each tank hold? Total fuel?

A

Main - 25 gal (22 usable)
Aux - 31 gal

112 total / 106 usable

45
Q

How many drains are there? Locations?

A

9 total

2 - mains
2 - aux
2 - crossfeed
2 - fuel strainer (low point)
1 - heater

46
Q

How many pumps? How are they operated?

A

4 total

2 engine-driven
2 electrical boost pumps

47
Q

When do we operate boost pumps?

A

Prime engine on start up

OAT >95 degrees

when the engine driven pump is inoperative

48
Q

Define constant speed propeller

A

A propeller which maintains a constant RPM, selected by the propeller control lever regardless of the airplane’s pitch attitude or throttle position.

49
Q

What is the advantage of a constant speed propeller?

A

pilot can “select” the most efficient blade angle for each phase of operation.

By selecting high RPM (low pitch), you can get maximum power for takeoff.

By selecting low RPM (high pitch), you can fly faster at low RPM and you can save the fuel for cruise.

50
Q

What makes the propeller high pitch or feather?

A

Spring pressure in the hub and counter weight at the root of the propeller blades.

51
Q

What makes propeller low pitch?

A

High pressure of the oil and aerodynamic force on the prop.

52
Q

What will happen if you lose engine oil completely?

A

If rotation is above 800 RPM, prop will feather.

Below 800 RPM Centrifugal stop pins engage and prop will windmill until it seizes.

53
Q

How can you unfeather the prop?

A

Move the prop lever to high RPM position to activate the unfeathering accumulator

54
Q

Min fuel required for takeoff? Located where?

A

13 gals in the mains

55
Q

When do we use aux fuel?

A

For cruise

56
Q

Max duration of slip

A

30 seconds

57
Q

Why do we have to use main tanks for takeoff and landing?

A

Aux tanks do not have baffles which limit the movement of fuel to ensure fuel supply

58
Q

How many fuel quantity gauges are there?

A

2

59
Q

What is primary source of electricity?

A

alternator

60
Q

How many alternators and what are they rated at?

A

2 engine-driven alternators

28V / 50amp

61
Q

How many voltage regulators are there? What do they do?

A

2

only 1 in use at a time

maintains constant 24V regardless of RPM

62
Q

How many buses? Names?

A

2 total

Main & Avionics

63
Q

How many batteries? Rated at what?

A

2 batteries

each 12V / 25amp

64
Q

How long would 25 amps last? 50 amps?

A

25 amps = 1 hour

50 amps = 30 mins

65
Q

How is landing gear actuated?

A

ELECTRICALLY

66
Q

How many landing gear motors? Where is it located?

A

1 electrical motor

under L pilot seat

67
Q

How can you verify the landing gear is down?

A

Mirror
Green Lights
Window box

68
Q

When does the warning horn activate?

A

if throttles reduced to 14” and gear not down

if gear handle brought up while on deck (squat switch)

69
Q

Where is squat switch located? What does it do?

A

pressure switch located in left main gear

stops gear from coming up
triggers horn if throttles below 14” with gear up
activates heater blower

70
Q

How do the landing gear lights work?

A

Green light - gear down and locked

Red light - gear up

No light - gear in transit

71
Q

Describe heater

A

Janitrol

50,000 BTU

0.5 gal/hr from left fuel line

cool for 2 mins before shutting down engine (ram air inflight or blower on deck)

72
Q

How are the brakes actuated?

A

Hydraulically

73
Q

What acronym do we use to define the factors used in determining Vmc?

A

STANDARD DAY - Vmc decrease as altitude increase - decrease in air density reduces engine performance which decreases adverse yaw effect

MOST UNFAVORABLE WEIGHT - light is worst

AFT CG - arm btwn CG and rudder is shorter so rudder is less effective

CRITICAL ENGINE WINDMILLING - more drag

FLAPS TAKEOFF/GEAR UP - keel effect - when configured the plane is stabilized and decreases Vmc

UP TO 5 DEGREES BANK - reduce drag

MAX POWER ON OPERATING ENGINE

74
Q

What acronym do we use to define the factors which determine which engine is critical?

A

P-FACTOR - descending blade on right engine has longer arm from CG - causes more yaw

ACCELERATED SLIPSTREAM - center of lift is further from longitudinal axis on right engine and results in less negative lift on the tail. Roll will be greater

SPIRALING SLIPSTREAM - slipstream from the right engine does not counteract the yaw from the dead engine because it spirals away from the tail

TORQUE - a/c tends to roll CCW since props rotate CW. Losing the left engine will cause a/c to roll to the left and torque produced by right engine will add to the left rolling tendency
