Starred Work Flashcards
If there was a loss of airspeed on final from wind sheer what are corrective actions
Increase approach speed to prepare for loss of airspeed
Pressure Altitude Defined
Pressure altitude is the altitude if it were a standard temperature day, what the altimeter would indicate if it was set to 29.92.
To determine the winds and how it effects your airspeed what do you compare
true airspeed to groundspeed
When computing takeoff/landing distance with charts, the speed that it tells you is for sea level, what difference does this make at different altitudes.
The difference is that you continue to make takeoff/landing with that speed but increase your groundroll for a changed true airspeed for a changed altitude
Should you use flaps when performance is in question but there is plenty of runway?
Flaps will increase your drag decreasing your overall performance.
Should you use flaps when runway length is in question
Yes, it increases lift allowing for a shorter ground roll
What effects does too AFT CG have on approach
Difficulty Flaring
Stall Horn/Warning is run by what
Air flowing over the wings aka Angle of Attack
Would the Oil Pressure / Oil Temperature gauges continue to run after a total electrical system failure
Oil Temperature is run by a self driven electrical system
Oil Pressure is run by mechanical means
They would both still run
Squawk Altitude Defined
Turn on the Mode C part of your transponder
What can cause the spark plugs to be fouled
Excessively Rich Mixture
What are some risks of over priming the aircraft
Engine Fire
If the engine was flooded and wasn’t starting what are some ways to start the engine
Follow the POH/AFM, pull mixture all the way to idle, but throttle all the way forward and continue to start, if it eventually starts push mixture in slowly and pull throttle back.
What effects does priming with the throttle have
When mixture is full and you start pumping the throttle this pushes fuel into the carburetor, this fuel can drip throughout the carburetor. If a backfire happens in the engine this could cause a carburetor fire.
What is a Hot Magneto, How do you identify one, and what are the risks
Hot Magnetos are magnetos that are not connected to the mag switch, the magneto switch ungrounds magnetos so they can’t produce a spark.
You can identify a hot magneto by keeping the mixture in and turning off the magneto switch if the engine continues to run the magneto switch is still on, and you have a hot magneto.
Risks could be moving the propeller while you have a hot magneto if there is fuel in the engine while you check for a hot magneto the propeller could start cranking.
