Avionics (G1000)
Define LRU. What is the purpose?
Line replaceable unit: Redundancy and easier to maintain.
What are the two principles gyroscopes operate off of?
Rigidity in space and precession.
What are the two types of pressures the pitot static system operates off of? Define each.
Dynamic(Ram) and Static.
What color is ABO(cannister)?
Green
What is the difference between de-ice and anti ice?
De-ice removes existing ice
Anti-ice prevents ice
What is the difference between the G1000 and G1000 NXi?
ADC AHRS vs ADAHRS
Traditional standbys vs electronic standby
Define a standard rate turn. (Degrees per second and time.)
3 degrees per second. A turn that takes 2 minutes to go 360 degrees.
What are the 5 types of altitude?
Indicated
True
Absolute
Pressure
Density
What are the three parts of the oxygen system?
Storage, delivery, and mask
What is the purpose of the beacon light and what color is it?
Indicates the engine is running or about to start. Red.
If you lose your ADAHRS what instruments do you lose?
Attitude indicator, Turn coordinator, Heading, Rate of turn, Airspeed indicator, Vertical Speed indicator, Altimeter, and Outside Air Temperature.
Define precession.
Force felt 90 degrees forward in the direction of the turn.
What are the two things that remedy pitot static blockages?
Pitot heat and alternate static port.
What is the purpose of a pressurization system?
Maintains a higher pressure inside the cabin to replicate a lower altitude.
Finish this statement: I don't want to make any big changes on ____ _____
Short final!
What are the 3 autopilot servos?
Pitch, pitch trim, and roll servos.
If TAS is 85kts what is the bank angle required to maintain a standard rate turn?
About 13 degrees (15% of TAS)
What happens if the static port is blocked? Describe what would happen to all 3 instruments.
Airspeed indicator: Indicates incorrectly
Vertical speed indicator: Freezes then slowly goes to zero.
Altimeter: Freezes.
What are the three categorizations of depressurization?
Explosive
Rapid
Slow
List all 6 magnetic compass errors. (VDMONA)
Variation, deviation, magnetic dip, oscillation, northerly turning errors, acceleration.
List all of the instruments displayed on the GEA.
RPM, Fuel flow, oil pressure, oil temp, CHT, EGT, fuel quantity, electrical volts and amps.
In the G1000 the ADAHRS gets it's information from ___?
Rate sensors and accelerometers.
Draw out the pitot static system and describe how each instrument works.
Good luck!
List each requirement for oxygen at each altitude.
12500
14000
15000
12500-14000: More than 30 minutes, oxygen required.
14000+: Required for any time
15000+: Passengers must be provided with oxygen.
Because you all missed it last time...
