What does the Certificate of Registration tell you?

It gives the:
- nationality and registration mark
- aircraft manufacturer
- model and serial number
- the purpose (private, commercial)
- name and address of the owner
- owner registration date
- certificate issue date;
- and signature for the Minister of Transport.

How long is the Certificate of Registration invalid? What invalidates it?

It remains valid as long as the ownership does not change or the owner's address does not change (and see DEADS = decommissioned, exported, address, destroyed, sold)

For how long is the original Certificate of Airworthiness valid?

Indefinetely, or becomes invalid with GLEAMS (outside gross weight, outside limitations, exported, not complying to AD's and not maintaining the plane) or when in an accident

How often must the Certificate of Airworthiness be re-validated?

Once a year

The maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff run

How does the maximum takeoff weight differ from the maximum ramp weight?

The maximum ramp weight includes the fuel that will be used for start, taxi and run-up. Therefore, maximum takeoff weight will be less than maximum ramp weight.

Note: maximum ramp weight is usually not used for small aircraft

Who prepares the Weight and Balance document that must be carried on board?

The W&B is prepared by the manufacturer

What is the difference between normal and utility categories?

The utility category is solely for the purpose of training pilots in certain flight manoeuvres and, therefore, is usually subject to some restrictions.

In the normal category, maximum gross weight operations are permitted, but certain manoeuvres, such as spins and steep turns, are prohibited.

Is an aircraft considered airworthy if overloaded? Why?

No, compliance with weight limitations is part of the airworthiness validity

How often does an aircraft have to be re-weighed?

Aircraft must be re-weighed and an amended W&B Report produced if a change in weight of more than 2% of the empty weight has occurred, or if the weight change cannot be measured.

If the weight of the aircraft exceeds 12,500 lbs, it must be re-weighed every 5 years.

What information is found on the W&B report that will not be found elsewhere?

The date of manufacture of the aircraft, the actual unusable fuel, the amount of full oil.

Does the Journey Logbook have to be carried on board for each flight?

Yes, unless the pilot does not plan to land and shut down at a location other than the departure base.

What is the difference between air time and flight time?

Air time is wheels up to wheels down (the actual time an aircraft is in the air)

Flight time is the moment an aircraft is moving on its own power.

Are aircraft inspections based on air time or flight time?

Air time

What type of inspection schedule is the aircraft on?

Refer to Journey Log (usually every 100 hours of air time and 50 hour intervals)

If the inspection was due at 1,050 hours, can you fly the aircraft beyond that time? If yes, under what circumstances?

Yes, you can fly the aircraft, by a maximum of 10 hours, if an AME has given written confirmation of an extension in the Journey Logbook.

How do you know that an annual inspections has been carried out?

The appropriate entry has been made in the Journey Logbook and an Annual Airworthiness Information Report has been completed.

If a snag is reported in the Remarks section of the Journey Logbook, can you fly the aircraft? Is it airworthy?

No, unless an AME has checked it and signed it off (deferred)

How do you correct an error in the Journey Logbook?

All errors should be corrected with a single line through them. The correct information should then be entered. Errors must never be erased.

How often must the compass be swung?

Annually

How do you verify that the compass has been swung?

Check the appropriate entry in the Journey Logbook

1.33 When do you require an ELT?

An ELT is required on board at all times, unless the aircraft is operated within 25 NM of the departure aerdrome

How often and by whom must the ELT be certified? Is an entry required in the Journey Logbook?

An ELT must be certified once per year, an entry must be made in the Journey Logbook

For how long is an ELT battery good?

ELT batteries are good for two years from the date of manufacture

At what time can you check if the ELT is operational?

First five minuted for no longer than 5 seconds in every UTC hour (old-style ELT). For new style ELT's, refer to manufacturer

With respect to the Journey Logbook, what should you check before departing on a cross-country?

Check if the aircraft is airworthy, pay special attention to how much time is left on the aircraft until the next inspection and make sure that you will not exceed this time on your flight.

When was the last inspection of the pitot-static system performed? How often should it be done?

It must be certified once every two years if the aircraft flies IFR or VFR in Class B

f. Check if the pitot-static system has been certified within the past two years

What type of information can be found in the POH?

It has all the pertinent information for the make and model of the aircraft.

How does the W&B information found in the pOH differ from the W&B Report for a particular aircraft?

The weight and balance information found in the POH is usually a generic example of that particular make and model.

Lift the documents any flight crew member must carry on board while operatin an aircraft?

Licence or permit
Valid medical
Radiotelephone operators certificate

What document tells you that a pilot licence is valid?

The medical

What class of medical is required for a private pilot licence and for how long is it valid?

A category 3 medical is required. It is valid for 5 years up to 40 years of age, over 40 years of age it is valid for 2 years.

When does your medical expire?

What does "maximum crosswind component" refer to?

It is the maximum crosswind for which adequate control of the aircraft has been demonstrated during takeoff and landing as part of the certification process.

Determine the following for the flight test aircraft:
a. Voltage of the electrical system
b. Voltage of the battery
c. Ampere strength of the alternator
d. Ampere hours of the battery

Voltage of electrical system: 14V
Voltage of battery: 12 Volt
Ampere strength of alternator: 60amp
Ampere hours of battery: 25 amp hour battery

How does the ammeter work?

The ammeter indicates the flow of current from the alternator to the battery or from the battery to the airplane electrical system.

The alternator is driven by a belt via the crankshaft.

In the event of the ammeter showing a complete deflection to the right (an excessive rate of charge) and the voltage light illuminating, how would you handle this situation in flight?

Master switch -- OFF
Master switch -- ON
Over-voltage light -- OFF
If it illuminates again:
Flight -- TERMINATE

If the ammeter was deflected to the left (an insufficient rate of charge) and the voltage light illuminated, how would you handle this situation in flight?

Alternator -- OFF
Nonessential Electrical Equipment -- OFF
Flight -- TERMINATE ASAP

How can you determine a high/low; or over-voltage situation?

The red voltage light may either indicate an overcharging or undercharging situation. The ammeter will indicate which situation actually exists.

In the event of a total electrical failure, how will it affect the magnetos?

It will not affect the magnetos at all.

Name the pitot/static instruments

Altimeter, VSI, Airspeed indicator (pitot)

Which pitot-static instrument(s) utilize the pitot tube? And which the static port?

Pitot = Airspeed indicator
Static = ASI, VSI, ALT

If the pitot tube gets blocked, which instrument(s) will be affected? What about a static port blockage?

Pitot tube blockage: ASI
Static port blockage: ASI, VSI, ALT

In case the static port becomes blocked, you can use the alternate static source or break the glass case of the VSI.

How will the airspeed indicator react to pitot tube blockage?

In a climb the ASI will over-read and in a descent, it will under-read

How will the airspeed indicator react to static port blockage?

In a climb, the airspeed indicator will under-read and in a descent, over-read.

How will the altimeter and VSI react to a pitot tube blockage? How will they react to a static port blockage?

Pitot tube blockage: not, as they are only connected to the static port

Static port blockage: altimeter will freeze at last reading
vsi will indicate "0" once the static air pressure has equalized.

Name the gyroscopic instruments

Attitude indicator, Heading Indicator, Turn coordinator (or turn and slip indicator

How are they powered?

They can either be powered electrically or powered by a vacuum pump driven off the engine.

How do you know if the information from the gyro instruments is reliable?

Checking if the suction gauge is in the green
Checking that there are no flags on the instruments
Performing an instrument check during taxi

Name the major sources of error on the heading indicator

Bearing friction and the earths rotation are the major sources of error on the HI

How often must you reset the heading indicator? Under what conditions can you set it?

At least once every 15 mins

Does the turn coordinator indicate the amount of bank?

No, the turn coordinator does not indicate the amount of bank. It shows rate of turn and roll.

What is the inclinometer? How does it work?

It is used to measure the attitude of an aircraft relative to the horizontal. The inclinometer works on the principle of gravity.

How do you lean the mixture for best economy cruise? For best power?

RPM at peak = max power
RPM decreasing = best economy (between rpm increasing and max power, peak)

What is the danger of running the engine too lean?

It may cause overheating and detonation.

When you apply carburetor heat, why do you get a decrease in performance?

Hotter - less dense air - is introduced into the mixture. The fuel-to-air ratio becomes richer, too rich for best performance. After carb heat hot, it is good practice to lean the mixture.

How do you determine if carburetor icing is present?

You can determine carb icing by applying carb heat and watching the indications on the tachometer.

In flight, you notice a drop in oil pressure and a rise in oil temperature. What can you expect?

Imminent engine failure

During the engine run-up, you discover that the oil pressure gauge is inoperative. Can you depart anyway?

No, you need your engine instruments (MAATE).

Quote from memory the following speeds: Vx (best angle, Vy (best rate), Vs, Vso, Va, Vg (best glide)

Vx = 60 (55 with flaps 10)
Vy = 70 (65 with flaps 10)
Vs = Lower end of green arc 47
Vso = Lower end of white arc 41
Va = 89 (at 1950), 97 (at gross weight)
Vg = 65

In relation to the best rate of climb (Vy) and the best angle of climb speed (Vx), what is the normal climb speed?

Normal climb between 70 and 80.

Vx = best angle of climb = maximum altitude over given distance
Vy = best rate of climb = most altitude gain in a given period of time

Define Vs

Stalling speed in the clean configuration

What is the designation for the power off stalling speed with flaps up? How is it depicted on the airspeed indicator?

It is Vs and it is shown as the lower limit of the green arc (47 KIAS)
