TOL Eval Deck Flashcards
When are you required to switch from ground to tower at this airport?
Unless directed otherwise, change from ground to tower once holding short of rwy requested for departure
When is it okay to taxi out onto the runway for departure?
Once the controller on tower frequency has cleared you for takeoff or to line up and wait
Explain to me how to properly scan for traffic before taking the runway for departure.
- aircraft on final
- directly in front of you
- further down the runway for traffic either departing or exiting the rwy
- immediately to your left and right for wingtip clearance of other aircraft
When is it okay to abort/reject a takeoff?
at any point before it becomes unsafe to not continue the takeoff
Besides an engine failure, what other reasons would warrant an rejected takeoff?
- FOD/objects/traffic on or about to be on the rwy
- any abnormality
When climbing out on the upwind, how can you ensure that your ground track is aligned with the runway with no drift?
- look behind you
- bug rwy heading and then fly a wind killed hdg your next lap and add looking behind you to verify
When are you going to make your first turn onto the crosswind leg (altitude)?
700 ft AGL
How will you know that you are the proper distance from the runway when you turn onto
your downwind leg?
rwy is halfway up the wing strut
What is the proper speed at which you should be flying on the downwind leg?
90 KIAS
You are at midfield on a left downwind, and the tower requests that you “make a right
360 for spacing.” What does this mean, and how would you do this?
It means to make a right hand standard rate turn at TPA
While on the downwind, the controller asks you to “extend for spacing.” What does this
mean?
- continue to fly the downwind leg until your base turn is directed by the controller
- query the controller if you are unsure of instructions/intentions
When is it appropriate to start your landing sequence?
abeam your touchdown point
Walk me through the proper let-down procedure as described in your checklist. This is
the part of the pattern from the time you reduce power abeam your landing point, until
the time that you land.
ABEAM TOUCHDOWN POINT
- before landing checklist
- reduce power to 1500 RPM and select flaps 10
- descend TPA @ 80 KIAS
ON BASE
- select flaps 20
- slow and trim for 70 KIAS
ON FINAL
- select flaps 30
- slow and trim for 65 KIAS
- 300 ft AGL = GCASH check
- 200 ft AGL = stabilized, continuing/not stabilized - go around
TOUCHDOWN
- on intended touchdown point
- within first third of rwy
- touchdown at minimum controllable airspeed (stall horn)
When is it appropriate to turn onto your base leg?
- after completing the before landing check
- when touchdown point is at a 45 degree angle behind you
- when told to by ATC
- when appropriate based on atmospheric conditions
When is it appropriate to turn final?
- when appropriate to not under or overshoot rwy
- no traffic conflicts
Explain to me the items that make up a stabilized approach.
- on airspeed
- configured
- on glideslope
What are some procedures that you can use to correct for wind drift on final?
- side slip
- crab into wind
Explain to me how you would correct your flight path if you were too high on final.
- reduce airspeed to 61 KIAS, power idle to produce sink rate
- forward slip with no more than flaps 20 targeting 70 KIAS
- side slip at 65 KIAS flaps 30
You are on a very long final after being extended downwind longer than you’re used to.
When should you begin a descent below traffic pattern altitude?
- Maintain altitude until established on the final approach path
- 1 red/3 white indication from PAPIs
- PIC determines point where a safe descent can be made
When is a go around appropriate?
- anytime the outcome of an approach/landing becomes uncertain
- salvaging landings is prohibited by ATP policy
During a go around, why does the airplane tend to roll and yaw to the left? How will you
correct this?
- torque
- P-factor
What is the proper placement of your feet while on final and during touchdown?
- heels on the floor
- toes on the bottom of the rudder pedals
On short final you see the windsock pointed out straight to the left. How are you going to
position the controls, i.e. ailerons and rudder?
- right aileron
- left rudder as required to align longitudinal axis of airplane to be parallel with runway
If you feel that you are going to land long, what will you do?
- pwr idle
- forward slip
- 61 KIAS approach speed
- side slip
- deploy full flaps early
If you feel that you are going to land short, what will you do?
- delay flaps
- keep airspeed up
- increase power
- delay descent
The nosewheel touches down first, followed by the main landing gear, and you porpoise
or bounce. What are you going to do?
go around
You have just landed and ATC has asked you to exit the runway at the first available
taxiway. As you are approaching the first available taxiway, you realize that you are going
too fast to make the exit. What will you do?
continue to next exit, inform ATC of your intentions
