|
On a normal cockpit check at altitude, you observe that your oil pressure is reading 24 psi. What do you do?
|
If oil pressure low and oil temperature is normal:
- Monitor oil pressure, it is probable that the oil pressure indication is defective - Monitor the oil and cylinder head temperatures If oil pressure low and oil temp or CHT rising: - Reduce engine power to minimum - Land as soon as possible - Be prepared for engine failure and emergency landing If oil pressure low and vibration, loss of oil, possibly metallic noise and smoke: - Mechanical failure in engine is apparent - Shut off engine immediately - Execute emergency landing |
|
|
You are cruising at altitude when you notice a strange smell and observe smoke originating from under the instrument panel. What do you do?
|
You have an electrical fire:
1. Emergency switch - ON 2. Master switch (BAT) - OFF 3. Cabin heat - OFF 4. Emergency window(s) - OPEN 5. Land ASAP |
|
|
What is the procedure for an over-voltage indication?
|
1. Essential bus - ON
2. Master switch (ALT) - OFF LEAVE MASTER SWITCH (BAT) - ON 3. Equipment that is not needed - OFF 4. Land ASAP |
|
|
If, during an emergency landing, the A/C ended upside down on it’s roof, how would evacuate the aircraft?
|
In case of a roll-over of the airplane on ground, it can be evacuated through the rear door. For this purpose release the front hinge of the rear door. The function is displayed on a placard next to the hinge.
