Jeppesen Private Pilot Chapter 2 Section A

Aircraft used for flight instruction for hire and provided by the flight instructor. Also Aircraft that carry any person, other than a crewmember for hire.

What Aircraft must get a 100 hour inspection?

Fuselage

Houses the cabin and/or cockpit which contains seats for the occupants and the controls for the airplane.

Open Truss Structure

Identified by the clearly visible struts and wire bracing.

Stressed-Skin Structure

The outside skin is made of sheet metal, plywood, or composites (such as fiberglass or carbon fiber). Skin is used to carry some of the flight load.

Monocoque Structure

Can be very strong but cannot tolerate any dents or deformation of the surface i.e. Soda can.

Semi-Monocoque Structure

Uses a substructure attached to the airplanes skin to maintain the shape of the airframe and increase its strength.

Monoplanes

Airplanes with a single set of wings.

Biplanes

Airplanes with two sets of wings

Ailerons

Controlling surfaces on an aircraft that regulates roll.

Flaps

Control surfaces attached to the trailing edge of the wing extending outward from the fuselage to the midpoint of each wing. Flaps can increase the lifting efficiency of the wing and decrease stall speed.

Vertical and horizontal stabilizers

Surfaces that act to help the airplane maintain a straight path in flight.

Elevator

The controlling surface that regulates an aircraft's pitch.

Rudder

A controlling surface on an aircraft's tail that regulates yaw.

Stabilator

A single-piece horizontal tail surface on an airplane that pivots around a central hinge point. A ________ serves the purposes of both the horizontal stabilizer and the elevators.

Trim Tab

a small, hinged control surface on a larger control surface that can be adjusted in flight to a position that balances the aerodynamic forces.

Anti-Servo Tab

Servers a control surface to give you a feel similar to an elevator. Also servers as a trim tab.

Conventional Landing Gear

landing gear employing a rear-mounted wheel also called TAILWHEEL.

Tricycle gear

Landing gear with one wheel located on the nose. Also called nosewheel.

Fixed Gear

What kind of Airplanes gear remains extended during flight?

Retractable gear

Landing gear which can be stowed inside aircraft during cruising flight.

Oleo Strut

This type of shock uses a piston enclosed in a cylinder with oil and compressed air to absorb the bumps and jolts encountered during landing and taxi operations.

Disc brakes

In this brake system, the master cylinder forces a caliper, containing a piston, with brake shoes on each side, to squeeze against a rotating disc in each wheel, thus stopping the car by using fluid and releasing hot air.

Differential breaking

Breaking more on one side of the airplane to steer an aircraft.

Powerplant

Consists of both the engine and propeller in a small airplane.

Firewall

Located between the engine compartment and the cockpit, protects aircraft occupants and serves as a mounting point for the engine.

Yes, The Emergency locator transmitter (ELT)

Do all aircraft require an annual inspection? and what else must be inspected?

Translates the rotational force of the engine into a forward acting force called thrust.

What does the propeller do?

The Transponder (All Aircraft) Altimeter and static system (aircraft operated under IFR)

What must be inspected every 24 Calendar months?

Based on calendar months.

How are inspections scheduled?

Yes ONLY if flying to preform maintenance and may not exceed 10 hours.

Can you overfly the 100 hour inspection if needed?

After one hour of use or when 50% of its life is expired.

When must the ELT battery be replaced?

Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

require correction of unsafe conditions found in an airplane, an airplane engine, a propeller, or an appliance when such conditions exist and are likely to exist or develop in other products of the same design. These are regulatory issued under FAR Part 39.

Ex. Replacing and servicing batteries, replacing spark plugs, and servicing wheel bearings and struts.

What are examples of preventive maintenance?
