Question 1

Effects of Flaps LDG

Answer 1

Landing Gear warning tone if gear is not down and locked

Question 2

Variable Elevator Stop

Answer 2

Limits elevator up travel from 15.5º to 13º when both engines exceed a 20% power setting.

G1000 Caution indicator illuminates when variable stop is in the incorrect position for the current power setting.

Question 3

Landing Gear

Answer 3

Hydraulically Operated
Electrically Powered Hydraulic Pump
Pump automatically engages when pressure is too low
6-10 second gear extension time
Hydraulic pressure keeps gear in retracted position
Springs maintain force on downlock hooks keeping them locked
Electric squat switch prevents ground gear retraction
Emergency gear extension level releases hydraulic pressure allowing gear to fall
Steerable nose gear
Steering linkage disengages when gear retracted

Question 4

Answer 4

RH engine is used for the front seats and floor
LH engine is used to defrost the windscreen
Fresh air inlet on inboard right wing

Question 5

Propeller

Answer 5

Gearbox oil actuates propeller blade angle
Increased oil pressure decreases prop pitch and higher RPM
Decreased oil pressure increases prop pitch and lowers RPM

–

Pressure Accumulator: nitrogen oil, engine master on valve opens

Start lock??

Question 6

Prop Feathering

Answer 6

Only possible above 1300 RPM

Below 1300 RPM propeller remains in start-lock position

Question 7

Prop Unfeathering
