Increase

Max power = _____ asymmetrical thrust and a ______ VMC

Higher, higher

When a plane reaches critical density altitude, it will _____ before reaching VMC

Stall

Critical Density Altitude is where it’s ___ is equal to it’s _____ speed

_______ ___:Working as a carburetor heat. Heated air around exhaust manifold is directed through the alternate air source

Alternate air

What does the governor do

Smaller

How can you remove vapor lock?

Moves air across instruments to get them moving

The gear will free fall and let gravity take over when the ________ ____

emergency switch

________ _________ moves gear up and down

hydraulic pressure

in a loss of oil pressure, the propellor will ___ revert to high or the feather position, you have to detect it and assume to shut down engine and feather

Not

When banking toward the operating engine, V_MC _______ by approximately 3 knots for every degree of bank less than 5°

decreases

Most unfavorable weight - the heavier you are the more ______ you are

stable

High density altitude is bad for performance, ____ for vmc

good

As the CG moves aft, the moment arm of the rudder is shortened. This reduces the rudder’s leverage, giving it less authority to counteract yawing forces. Therefore, V_MC ________ as the CG is moved aft.

increases

Critical engine windmilling - causes more drag, and more forces you are fighting

Flaps _______ the plane but cause drag, helping VMC

stabilize

inoperative engines results in more ________ _____, increasing V_MC.

asymmetrical thrust
