Yellow Pages

Question 1

When to abort Takeoff?

Answer 1

Door opens 
Fuel/Oil  caps missing
Smoke from engine
Ruff running engine
Seat problems
Poor acceleration

*Cannot abort if used more than 1/2 Tora (put a marker! same spot as 70% Vr)

Question 2

Birdstrike

Answer 2

Evaluate Engine Parameters

Do a Controllability check

Question 3

Procedure for a Door Opening during flight…

Answer 3

Keep flying, ignore the Door, Maintain aircraft control
Noise + Airflow are a nuisance only, but a Big distraction!
Climb to 1000’ agl
Some doors cannot be closed airborne

Question 4

Bits falling off…then

Answer 4

Fly a bit faster so smaller bits that are left can be more effective
Mayday call when needed

Question 5

Indications of an Alternator Failure?

Answer 5

Battery Volts will be going down (no longer charging so will be showing <12.3 v)

I have 60min due to my 2 Battery setup

Question 6

Procedure in the event of a Total Electrical Failure…

Answer 6

Go Vfr

At night, this is a Red Page, I must Land asap as Batteries won’t last
Turn off all un-necessary Electrics=
Transponder off + Radio off

Check CB’s

Question 7

Actions in the even of a Prop Governor Failure?

Answer 7

Reduce throttle (MP inches)
It should fail in the 'fine' position, not a real problem...

Question 8

Deteriorating Weather thoughts…

Answer 8

How much Vis do I still have?
(start a timer and evaluate how long it takes a feature to pass abeam, when I am going at 1.5 miles min or 90 mph G/S)

3 Min is Good
2 min is Marginal, bad idea, divert or end this flight
1min is time to do a 180deg turn, this flight plan is now a Diversion

Always consider/evaluate Obstacles are predominantly where?
[I am also probably off my drawn map track]

Could offset my track by 0.5nm for best imc 180back turn over lower ground without obstacles as indicated on my map.

Don’t wait to be IMC…to decide to turn-around…that’s not smart.

Nobody every had a midair by climbing in IMC…if no Icing and not a thick layer.

You do not want to be imc without a clearance near an aiport…

Question 9

Icing has no effect on?

Answer 9

Ai: it’s all good, go up or down, turn back…
Ignore loss of ias, fly by Pitch attitude, Power setting

If ias reliable then carry a bit of extra speed for increased weight
(monitor the Gps G/S)

Question 9

Carb Icing…

Answer 9

Monitor Oat and Carb temp gauge…

Suspected when there is a loss of cruise ias (not G/S)

Procedure=
Put Carb Heat on, except the engine to run rough…

Question 11

Blocked Pitot immediate actions?

Answer 11

Carb Heat on
Set power and Pitch attitude on AI
Monitor G/S on gps

Ignore ias, alt, and vsi

Question 12

Stuck Elevator actions?

Answer 12

Use Manual Pitch Trim, could also move pax
Could use Power to control pitch

Consider…is there any FOD in backseat on the floor?

Question 13

Stuck Aileron immediate actions?

Answer 13

Use Rudder

Look for Fod

Question 14

Considerations in the event of Strong Crosswind at Destination?

Answer 14

Land on a different runway
Use the longer or wider Runway at same airport
Prefer grass Fields over Cement strip
Flap 2 notches when LDA permits
Land on a Taxiway that is into Wind
Delay…assuming source of wind is of temporary nature
Consider Wx trend and FOB
Divert early (even off-field landing)

Question 15

Wilderness landing survival actions…

Answer 15

Get out of Fire prone area Asap
ELT on, Iphone to Emergency
Garmin In-Reach
1st Aid
Gun out, try VHF Radio
Find Water
Light a Fire to stay warm
Shelter & Stay with the Plane
Avoid cuts, very careful with Knife
Food (berries, fish, snare, hunt)

Question 15

Precautionary off-field Landing are a good idea when…

Answer 15

Deteriorating weather
  <1min forward Vis without any 100% certain outs!
Low Fuel (like 4 Gallons or less)
'0'  oil pressure indication
Visible oil leak
Partial Engine Power
Serious Vibs
Structural Damage
Pilot Incapacitation

Question 17

How to fly a Flapless landing due to a mechanical fault…

Answer 17

Increases landing distance by 50%
Don’t flare, fly it on the runway
Higher Vref for margin due to increased stall speed

[Only put flaps out below once Vfo; not in a turn (wings level)]

Question 18

Ground Loop

Answer 18

Aileron against rising wing (towards Inside of turn)
Brake on opposite wheel (Outside of the turn, towards center or Runway)
Add power if your not going to have a prop strike and space permits

Mags off for imminent Prop strike

Remember…
<20kts won’t hurt much, better to grd loop than hit trees with prop.
Like boxing, need to do many taps on each side+never hold corrections too long
As rudder is less effective at slower speeds, you need larger taps!
Landing on a snaking dirt road will put a sideload that will cause a Ground loop!

Question 19

Foreflight yellow traffic is at what range and altitude?

Answer 19

<1200’ vertical
<2nm
<45 sec

Question 20

Foreflight Red traffic is at what range and altitude?

Answer 20

<1200’ vertical
<1.2 sm
<25sec

Question 21

What error must we assume on Tis-B altitude readouts?

Answer 21

+-300’ traffic info services

Question 22

How large is Puck on Tis-B

Answer 22

15nm front, behind, and within 3500’ vertically

Question 23

What is update rate on Tis-B

Answer 23

10sec or so

Question 24

What is a good ‘mindset’ during a partial power loss (800rpm)

Answer 24

Land
Assume an immediate off-field forced landing
Be accurate, don’t Flub my approach!
