Stage 26 Flight - Teaching Points

Question 1

Electrical Failure Below 1000

Answer 1

• Alternator is no longer producing enough to charge the battery (voltage below 24.5 volts)

Question 2

Electrical Failure Above 1000

Answer 2

• Over-voltage relay may have taken the alternator offline by opening ALT FLD circuit breaker
• Resetting circuit breaker and cycling ALT switch off then on will reset it

Question 3

Walk me through the execution of a Soft-Field Takeoff

Answer 3

• No brakes, keep a/c rolling
• Apply back pressure constantly
• Advance throttle to full power
• Liftoff and remain in ground effect
• Accelerate to Vx and Vy and climb away

Question 4

You accidentally flew into a cloud! What are you going to do? What resources are available to you?

Answer 4

• Do a 180

- Use your resources!! Ask ATC for help

Question 5

You are going to simulate an Open Cabin Door, what do you say?

Answer 5

• You feel a breeze coming into the cockpit

- You know that shortly after takeoff is when an open door would make itself apparent

Question 6

You are getting ready to demo the Accelerated Stall, why are you demonstrating this?

Answer 6

• I am showing you this to demonstrate that the a/c will stall are higher airspeed when in a bank or in high load factor situations
• Turns in the traffic pattern

Question 7

The student is demonstrating a proficiency stall, what common errors should you be looking for?

Answer 7

• Over reliance on ASI or slip-skid
• Failure to maintain rudder coordination
• Excessive forward pressure in recovery
• Lose of situational awareness

Question 8

How are you going to execute steep turns?

Answer 8

Add ~400 rpm and 4 turns of nose up trim

Question 9

You are going to simulate an Engine Overheat - High Oil Temperature, what do you say?

Answer 9

• Usually occur during climb out

- Our engine is air-cooled so lowering the AOA allows more air to enter the Air Inlets

Question 10

What is the set-up, execution and recovery for an Accelerated Stall?

Answer 10

Set-up:

• CLEARING TURNS
• MRA 3000
• Sustained flight at 68 knots
• No flaps

Execution:

• Roll into a coordinated 45 degree bank
• Neutralized controls
• Apply firm back pressure

Recovery:

• Reduce AOA
• Full Power
• Level Wings

Question 11

What is the set-up and execution for a Power-Off Stall?

Answer 11

Set-Up:

• Clear Turns
• MRA 1,500

Execution:

• Throttle idle
• Maintain altitude and decelerate to 70
• Enter a normal approach attitude
• Drop flaps to full, raise nose slightly to stall warning
• Maintain coordination
