Aerodynamics
What happens to stall speed in in a bank and why?
Increases due to the increased load factor.
When is a type rating required?
Large aircraft
Turbo powered
Otherwise specified by the FAA
What happens if you use lower grades of fuel?
Detonation
What is dew point?
The temperature at which water vapor condenses.
What is the difference between an AD and Service Bulletin
AD is mandatory by the FAA
SB is non mandatory by Manufacturer
How does a forward CG affect stall speed and why?
Increased stall speed due to higher tail down force and more lift required.
Under what conditions can a commercial pilot log PIC but not act as PIC?
When sole manipulator in aircraft they're rated but not the acting PIC.
The fuel air mixture lights before the the proper power stoke. Carbon build up hot spots in the cylinders. Messes with engine timing.
Clear Air Turbulence
How do you calculate pivotal altitude
GS x GS /11.3
In an engine failure, is a windmilling prop or a stop prop more favorable for glide distance and why?
Prop stopped less drag created.
What is the difference between a common carrier and a private carrier?
Common carriage is 121 or 135. They hold out and have the willingness to serve anyone.
Private carriage is 91 or 125. unscheduled no holding out, serve select people.
What is a vernatherm? What system is it a part of?
It is the part of an oil system that allows oil to go through the bypass or the oil cooler depending on oil temperature.
What are atmospheric standards at sea level? inches of mercury, milibars, PSI, C, F
29.92, 1013.2, 14.7 PSI, 15 C, 59 F,
What max takeoff weight of a DA20
1764
What are 3 factors that make a skid more dangerous than a slip?
Blanketing affect, span wise flow, increased AOA on lower wing.
What is a wet lease? Can you legally be involved in a wet lease as a commercial pilot.
When the airplane and at least one flight crew member is supplied. The person supplying them also maintains operational control.
What does the manifold pressure gauge actually measure in a piston aircraft engine? What happens to manifold pressure as you increase in altitude?
The amount of air pressure in the intake manifold. On a standard day with the engine shut down, the manifold pressure gauge will indicate 29.92. Turbocharging creates a higher MAP at higher altitudes.
Every 1000ft of altitude you lose 1 inch.
What is the temperature range for icing? Why can it happen above freezing?
5- -20 bernoulli's principle
What type of flap increases the most drag AND lift.
Split Flap
Overbanking tendency
What Reg requiers you to have a fire extingusher
91.513
How is the DA20 started?
What are the two types of occluded fronts? What is the different between them.
Cold occlusion vs warm occlusion
What is the area of the runway called where you cannot take off or land on? How is it depicted?
Chevrons
