Q

Explain the fuel system: (draw it out) tanks, fuel pump, primer, carburetor

A

One fuel tank per wing w/ 25 gal capacity (only 24 gals are usable) so in total we have 48gal of usable fuel. Using 100LL. Two fuel pumps, engine is primary, electric is backup. Primer sends fuel straight to cylinders.
Float type Carburetor, connected to 3 of the 4 cylinders, venturi tube is a narrow throat, a low pressure area so the fuel/air mixture can move faster

21
Q

Explain the flap system:

A

3 levels: 10° 20° 40°, flaps increase the lift/drag ratio

21
Q

What plane are we flying: explain the engine:

A

PA28161 Piper Warrior: it uses a Lycoming O-320, meaning horizontally opposed 320 cubic inches and direct drive
A 4 cylinder engine, 8 spark plugs
160 horsepower, 2700 Max RPM, air cooled, 20W50cross country oil

22
Q

Explain the propeller, include the nose:

A

A fixed pitch prop, 72-74 inches in diameter
Nose- Cleveland 5 x.5

23
Q

Explain the landing gear:

A

Fixed gear PA 28-161, Cleveland 6 x .6 wheel
Single disc hydraulic breaks
Master cylinder is behind the instrument panel
Break fluid: reservoirs left side of the firewall

24
Q

What are the primary flight controls

A

Aileron Stabilator Rudder

25
Q

What are the secondary flight controls

A

Trim, and flaps

26
Q

When can carb icing form?

A

the range is 20degrees to 70degrees when relative humidity is above 80%

27
Q

What happens if icing occurs?

A

Engine roughness and a loss in RPM
Without treatment it can result in engine failure

28
Q

Explain the electrical system:

A

14 Volt 60 amp alternator
12 volt battery
The alternator charges the battery (that is why the alternator has a higher voltage)
Volt regulator (regulates the 12 volts)
Master switch relay - battery powers lights electric fuel pump, starter, radio, coms
Magnetos are self-driven
Circuit breakers
Amp meter

29
Q

If the electrical system (alternator) fails:

A

AVO lights would turn on
Amp would go to zero
Circuit breaker would pop
Contact ATC about failure if able (7700)
Proceed to nearest airport
Turn off any unused electricity
Battery would last 10-30mins

30
Q

Explain the vacuum system:

A

Gyro instruments: heading indicator, attitude indicator
Vacuum pump creates suction to spin gyros
Vacuum regulator
Vacuum gauge

31
Q

What do you do if the vacuum system is lost

A

Use magnetic compass or GPS for direction
Use vertical speed and turn indicator

32
Q

Explain what instruments are apart of the pitot static system:

A

Airspeed, altimeter, vertical speed indicator

33
Q

Where is the pitot static system located?

A

Below the right wing

34
Q

Explain the purpose of the static port:

A

Gives us the airspeed

35
Q

Explain how the airspeed indicator works:

A

A line of pitot tube goes into diaphragm from static port, goes into case, difference in pressure between diaphragm and case indicates how fast we are flying

36
Q

Explain how the altimeter works:

A

One line from static port goes into casing, inside of case is wafers, they are stacked and expand or contract to determine our altitude

37
Q

Explain the vertical speed indicator:

A

2 lines from static port, 1 line goes into case, 1 line goes into diaphragm. The line in the case has a calibrated leak.
A delay in pressure indicates a climb or descent

38
Q

What happens if the pitot static system fails:

A

Airspeed would be lost, it is the only instrument directly connected to the pitot tube
If port is blocked, there is an alternate static port, which is under the yolk

39
Q

Explain the heating and ventilation system:

A

Heating is for cabin and defrost
Provided by a shroud attached to the muffler
Two vents on the lower portion of seats, and two vents overhead

40
Q

What is a AD? How many types are there?

A

An Airworthiness Directive, issued by the FAA if there is a known issue.
3 types: Once, reoccurring, emergency

41
Q

Can you fly over a 100hr inspection?

A

Yes, only with a special permit. If given, 10 hrs of. Leeway and must be enroute to home airport for inspection

42
Q

Are 100hr inspections and annual inspections transferable?

A

An annual inspection CAN substitute a 100hr, but a 100hr CANNOT substitute an annual

43
Q

Do you need to have an ELT in the airplane today?

A

It is not needed for training within 50nm of the home airport

44
Q

What equipment and instruments do you need to have in the airplane to fly (day) ? ATOMATOFLAMES

A

Altimeter
Tachometer
Oil temp gauge
Magnetic compass
Airspeed indicator
Temperature gauge
Oil pressure
Fuel quantity
Landing gear
Anti collision lights

ELT
Seatbelts

45
Q

What additional equipment do you need to fly at night? FLAPS

A

Fuses - 3 of each kind / 1 set
Landing lights- if for hire
Anti collision lights
Position light (red green white)
Source of electricity

46
Q

What if the landing light were inoperative?

A

Cannot fly at night per the FARs
If during the day, would need to deactivate or remove the component

47
Q

In general, can you fly with inoperative equipment?

A

Yes, if it is not included in the 91.205 and has been deactivated and declared inoperative. Following the MEL

48
Q

What is an MEL?

A

Min Equipment List, a list of equipment that can be inoperative during a flight

49
Q

Does our plane have an MEL?

A

No

we adhere to the regulations in 91.205 and 91.213(d)
