Systems
To cross feed the left engine with fuel from the right, which fuel selector will you move to cross feed?
left fuel selector
What is the lowest the examiner can have you circle on a single engine?
Cat B circling minimums
T/F: during flight in a multi-engine airplane, if you experience an engine failure and fly at zero sideslip in straight flight (no heading change), you are flying coordinated:
True
What is the single-engine service ceiling defined as
single-engine service ceiling is reached when the multiengine airplane can no longer maintain a 50 fpm rate of climb with OEI
Rotation speed for shorn field takeoff
70kts
This holds up the landing gear
What is high pressure
During a circle to land, how far from the runway can we get in the Seminole?
1.5nm
Which factors determine the critical engine?
p-factor, accelerated slipstream, spiraling slipstream, torque
The critical engine is
The engine that will have the most adverse affects on the flight characteristics if we were to lose it.
Configuration for power on stall in the takeoff configuration
gear down, mixture & props forward, fuel pumps on
This engages if engine RPM drops below 950
Centrifugal stop pins
Jepp brown mora vs green
Brown values over 10k and green are below
Zero side slip is established because
Zero Sideslip Condition aligns the fuselage with the relative wind to minimize drag
Vmc is defined as
The minimum controllable airspeed with the critical engine made suddenly inoperative
If we lose the brakes in the Seminole, will we also lose the ability to actuate the landing gear?
The two systems are independent of each other
In the event we lose oil pressure in flight, what will happen to the prop and why?
Fully feather due to the nitrogen cylinder, heavy duty spring, and counterweights
What does this symbol mean?
Expanded circling minimums
The Seminole spin recovery is
Power, Rudder, Elevator, Aileron
Doing what to weight and CG will lower Vmc?
Heavy weight and forward CG
If you lose all electrical power, will you be able to put the landing gear down? How will you know if it’s fully down and locked?
Only with emergency gear extend and we won’t know fully. We only have 1 in the mirror
How many spark plugs and fuel pumps does the Seminole have?
17 spark plugs and 5 fuels pumps
What does the MORA give you? Does it give you navaid signal coverage?
Obstacle clearance. 1000 non mountainous 2000 Mountainous. MORA does not provide for navaid signal coverage or communication coverage
Why is Vmc awareness at high density altitudes important?
We may experience a stall first and possibly spin before seeing a loss of directional control
Why do we lose 80-90% of our power when we lose 1 of our 2 engines?
Due to a lose of total excess thrust after what is required for level flight
If we way 3300lbs, what is the max speed we should not exceed when maneuvering?
126 (125.8)
