|
What does VMC mean? Airspeed? |
The speed below which the rudder can no longer overcome a symmetric thrust A speed just like any of the other speeds Minimum control speed- single engine 93 |
|

Stall speed clean configuration 95 |

|
|
Define critical enginel |
The engine in which if failure occurs would result with the most adverse effects on handling and performance |
|
|
How does density altitude affect VMC |
VMC will decrease as density altitude is increased
As power decreases with altitude the thrust moment of the operating engine decreases. Resulting in needing less input of rudder to counter yaw |
|
|
What kind of Engines do we have |
Two continental IO-520-C 6 cylinders 285 horsepower Horizontally opposed Air cooled Naturally aspirated Direct drive |
|
|
What kind of oil system do we have? What type of oil |
Full pressure wet sump oil system 10-12 15 W50 Whats the min? |
|
|
Definition of service ceiling |
The highest altitude in which the airplane can maintain a steady rate of 100FPM |
|
|
Definition of absolute ceiling? |
The altitude in which climb is no longer possible |
|

Describe to me the heater system |
-We have an independent heater system -Located in the nose of the aircraft -Burns 1 GPH -uses fuel from left tank -Has a circuit breaker in nose gear |
|
|
Talk to me about the flaps |
-We have slotted Flaps -Electrically operated 3 positions Up- APP (15) down (30) |
|
|
Describe to me the fuel system |
Two tanks (separated by a baffle design) 172 total 166 usable 6 sumps Two fuel pumps( high off low) Two sight gauges |
|
|
If you loose an engine during takeoff, will it be more pronounced Slower or faster. |
Slower because there will be less air moving over the control surfaces. Resulting in it being harder to gain control |
|
|
Deice equipment? How long will the fluid lasts |
Alcohol De ice solution for props and windshield De ice boats as well - distributor value inflats boats vacc valve deflates them 28mins for prop and windshield 120 prop 36 windshield |
|
|
Describe the prop system |
We adjust the prop that then increases or decreases pressure on the speeder spring. Next the fly weights either move inward or outward adjusting the oil pressure in the prop. The pressure then moves a piston and forks to adjust prop angle |
|

Engine Failure after Takeoff |
Pitch for blue line Mixture Props Throttles Flaps Gear Identify Verify Feather |
|
|
What speed does the blue line on an airspeed indicator designate |
Best single engine rate of climb VYSE |
|
|
What speed does the red line on the airspeed indicator designate |
Minimum control speed critical engine in operative (VMC) |
|
|
Explain the four factors that make the left engine critical. |
PAST P factor Accelerated slipstream Spiraling slipstream Torque |
|
|
What factors affect VMC |
Propeller ( windmilling) Weight Center of gravity Density Altitude Side slip condition |
|
|
What is the pilots first priority following an engine failure |
Maintain aircraft control and speed |
|
|
Before feathering a suspected in operative engine what action should be taken first |
Verify which engine has failed by closing the throttle on the dead engine |
|
|
What are cowl flaps |
An opening in the engine cowling through which hot air is expelled |
|
|
What mechanism keeps the landing gear locked in the opposition |
Up locks |
|
|
How manufacturers Determine VMC |
SMACFUM Standard day sea level Max power( operating engine) Aft CG Critical Engine WindMilling Flaps and trim set to T/O, gear up Up to 5 degrees of bank Most unfavorable weight |
|
|
The factors that determine critical engine |

4.2 G Flaps up 2.0 Flaps down |
|
|
Zero thurst |
Prop to feather detent Throttles to 12 manifold pressure |
|
|
What is spiraling slipstream |
Spiral slipstream occurs due to the high and low pressures created by the prop. The slip stream from the left engine hits the vertical stabilizer helping to counter act the Yaw produced. The opposite occurs for the right engine |
|
|
What is torque? |
So for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction |
|
|
Prop forward |
-Speeder spring tension increased -Valves open increasing oil pressure in the hub -Piston goes forward/ moving pins and forks adjusting the blade angle -Flyweights stabilize once RPM Achieved |
