SARON (Airplane Operation) Flashcards
Emergency training procedures for pilots: when is it required and how often:
Required annually.
Where practical training is during initial training; only required every 3 years thereafter
Touchdown zone is:
The first 3000ft of runway or first 1/3, whichever less
When can pilots partake in elementary work?
Pilot must be trained and approved by company
Does elementary work require a maintenance release?
No; no signature from AME required, only needs to be logged (i.e. adding 1qt oil) and signed by person who did the work.
PILOT CANNOT REPLACE A BETTERY
With respect to a new journey log you should provide continuity by:
Retain the last relevant previous entries from old logbook
When on a test flight with maintenance, who signs the logbook off and in the end, considers the aircraft “released”?
PIC shall have last say whether the ‘repaired’ equipment is valid or not; he/she shall state whether the flight test was successful or not
What is density altitude?
Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature
As temp increase, air density decreases
Weight shift formula:
weight to be moved / total weight
change in CG / distance moved
If approaching faster than Vref, what is the best technique for landing?
(mains, reverse, nose, brakes)
- Land firmly
- Lower nose quickly
- Apply heavy braking
In a constant descent, weight will equal:
Vertical component of lift and drag
Engine Pressure Ratio (EPR) compares:
Pt7 turbine discharge pressure
to
Pt2 compressor inlet pressure
Exhaust divided by Inlet
The amount of energy imported to the airstream by the jet engine
How will high density affect a a turbocharged engine?
Turbocharged engine will provide sea level performance, but it will not overcome:
- Decreased propeller efficiency
- Increased IAS
- Decreased climb gradients
- Increased takeoff/landing roll
- IAS REMAINS THE SAME
“Low energy regime” is:
- Aircraft in landing config with gear down
- In descent
- Thrust stabilized in idle range
- Airspeed decreasing
- Aircraft 50ft or less from touching on runway
Includes contacting ground
What is a balked landing?
Aircraft touches down after entering the low energy regime and goes around
In flight you experience a strong updraft. This will affect stall speed because of:
Influence on angle of attack; air is hitting aircraft from below, causing the aircrafts relative angle to wind to increase
De-ice equipped aircraft have been certified for providing protection against ice during:
In-flight ONLY!
Stall warnings are calibrated to give an effective warning under stat meteorologic conditions?
Under clean wing conditions
Type II fluid:
- Yellow in color
- Glycol & water mixture, WITH added thickeners which causes it to act as a gel
- Type II applied after a hot type I applied
- Longer holdover times than type I
- Vr speeds of 100kts or more, due to its thickness and ability to stick to critical surfaces
Type I fluid:
- Orange in color
- Glycol & water mixture
- Applied hot
- May be used as an “anti-icing fluid” if conditions on ground are not likely for the formation of ice (ground temp. over 0)
- Provides some protection against refreezing but not much after accumulation
- Deemed no longer effective when its ability to absorb more precip. has been exceeded
- removes already accumulated contamination
Type III Fluid:
- Color TBA
- Properties between type I and II
- Freezing point depressant (FPD)
- Vr speeds of 60kts good for up to 100kts
Type IV fluid:
- Green in color
- Type IV applied after type I applied
- Significantly longer HOT than type II
- Should only be used on Vr above 100kts
- Most major airports use type IV exclusively
What part of the A/C gets deiced first?
Surfaces most visible to pilots; i.e. wingtips
Can you takeoff with frost on the underside of the wing?
Yes, according to the manufacturer.
If frost is localized to the fuel cell and not the entire full length of the wing. 3mm to 1/8”
EWH definition:
Vertical distance from pilot’s eyes to lowest portion of the aircraft in landing configuration at Vref; allues to if landing gear are extended!
