3. Short final- 85 kts

Answer 18

1. 2000 RPM, hold brakes
2. Verify all in the green
3. Vr- 75 kts
4. Vy- 88 kts
5. Positive rate of climb, negative runway, Gear up!!

Question 19

Maneuvering altitude for multi engine

Answer 19

3000 AGL

Question 20

Vmc demonstration procedure

Answer 20

1. IP3C’s
2. Reduce throttle to 15” MP- slow to 100 kts- maintain altitude and heading
3. Reduce LEFT throttle to idle
4. Increase RIGHT throttle to full
5. Pitch for 88 kts- bank no more than 5 degrees
6. Reduce airspeed 1 kt/second and increase rudder to maintain heading
7. Indication of stall- RIGHT throttle to idle
8. Directional control
9. Pitch 88 kts
10. Bring back throttles to 22” MP to recover

Question 21

Add rudder into operating engine

Answer 21

Add rudder into operating engine

Question 22

Prop configuration on takeoff

Answer 22

• prop forward
  -low pitch/high RPM
  Ex. Bicycle- lower gear setting, more power by peddling faster with less speed

Question 23

Prop configuration in cruise

Answer 23

-prop pulled back
-high pitch/low rpm
Ex. Bicycle- higher gear setting, more power, less power needed

Question 24

What is Blue line?

Answer 24

Best single-engine climb speed

Question 25

What is Vmc?

Answer 25

Minimum speed which directional control can be maintained with one engine out.

Question 26

What are the factors that affect Vmc? (SMACFUM)

Answer 26

1. Standard Air 2. Max Power 3. Aft CG 4. Critical prop windmilling 5. Flaps down 6. Undercarriage/Gear down 7. Most unfavorable weight 8. Sideslip/bank angle

Question 27

Standard Air (Vmc)

Answer 27

Increases Vmc Performance increases WHY? More dense air to yaw/roll the plane

Question 28

Max Power (Vmc)

Answer 28

Vmc increases Performance increases WHY? The more thrust on the operating engine, the more rudder is needed to stop the resulting yaw.

Question 29

Aft CG (Vmc)

Answer 29

Vmc increases Performance increases WHY? AFT CG = less stable, shorter arm to control surfaces, less leverage. Performance = Increases with Aft CG due to tail down force. Less lift is required to keep the airplane level. Increase in airspeed due to less AOA needed to keep the airplane level. Anything moving the CG FORWARD, will make the rudder more effective. Larger arm = larger rudder moment = rudder more effective

Question 30

Critical Prop Windmilling (Vmc)

Answer 30

Vmc increases Performance decreases WHY? Vmc increases due to increased drag and yawning to inop engine. Performance decreases due to increased drag.

Question 31

Flaps down (Vmc)

Answer 31

Vmc decreases Performance decreases WHY? Vmc decreases because more induced drag from good engine prevents yaw towards dead engine. Performance decreases because more airflow over flaps causes greater drag, causing increased yaw/roll. More adverse yaw = more induced drag.

Question 32

Gear down (Vmc)

Answer 32

Vmc depends on location of CG Performance decreases WHY? Vmc depends on location of CG and can decrease with keel effect. Performance decreases because of parasite drag. GEAR DOWN- acts like the keel of a boat giving the aircraft a stabilizing effect. This stabilizing effect helps prevent a turn, which lowers Vmc.

Question 33

Sideslip/bank angle (Vmc)

Answer 33

0 degrees of bank- Vmc increases, performance decreases 2-3 degrees of bank- Vmc neutral, performance increases 5 degrees of bank- Vmc decreases, performance decreases

Question 34

Most unfavorable weight (Vmc)- lighter weight

Answer 34

Vmc increases Performance decreases

Question 35

What determines the critical engine?(PAST)

Answer 35

P-factor Accelerated slipstream Spiraling slipstream Torque

Question 36

How are the negative characteristics of a swept wing mitigated?

Answer 36

Leading edge slats Flaps

Question 37

What is V1?

Answer 37

V1- commit to fly speed. At which time you determine to continue the flight if an engine fails.

Question 38

In Air: - Throttle controls MP -Prop controls RPM

Answer 38

Cruise setting: 1. Throttle sets MP 2. Prop sets RPM Climb setting: 1. Prop first 2. Throttle second To reduce power we start with the knob closest to us. To increase power it’s the opposite.
