Stage 1 check - mechanics

fuselage, wings, empennage, engine, landing gear

What are the 5 main parts of an aircraft?

intake, compression, power, exhaust

What are the 4 engine strokes?

fuselage, empennage, power plant, wings, landing gear

What are the 5 main parts of an aircraft?

28 volt DC system, powered by a 60 amp alternator and 24 volt battery

How does the C 172M electrical system work?

30 mins extra power to the essential bus

How long will the battery last if the alternator and main battery sources fail?

less dense air is entering the engine

A power loss occurs when you apply carburetor heat because

fuel in the cylinders exploding instead of burning smoothly

detonation can be described as

broken magneto ground wire, stuck engine

If the engine magneto switch is turned to the "OFF" position, but the engine continues to run, the probable cause is:

using a lower than normal fuel grade

Excessive cylinder head and engine oil temperatures can be caused by

altimeter, airspeed indicator, vertical speed indicator

The three pressure instruments connected to the pitot-static system are the

85 knots, white arc

According to the markings on the accompanying airspeed indicator, what is the maximum speed with flaps fully extended?

2080 ft MSL, 10 ft every 0.1g

Assume that you land at an airport with the altimeter set to 29.92 instead of the current setting of 30.00. What will the altimeter read if the field elevation is 2,000 feet MSL

rate of turn

The turn coordinator provides a direct indication of aircraft’s

lateral and longitudinal axis

The turn coordinator provides a direct indication of aircraft

every 15 minutes

How often should you check the heading indicator and align it with the magnetic compass?

magnetic dip, tendency to dip towards hemispheres

After departing runway 36, you make a left turn to a heading of 180º. If the magnetic compass initially indicates a turn in the opposite direction, you should know that this reaction is

increased aoa, increased speed

What two conditions normally cause an increase in lift?

The angle formed by the wing chord line and the relative wind is excessive, regardless of airspeed or altitude

what causes the separation of air over the wing during a stall?

lift and drag increase

How are the lift and drag components of the wing affected when you lower the flaps?

induced drag

Wingtip vortices contribute to the production of

inadequate elevator control, longer takeoff run, harder to climb

What are the control characteristics of an aircraft with the CG forward of limits?

yaw to left

P-factor is one of the forces that causes the airplane to

horizontal component of lift

What is the primary force that causes an airplane to turn?

cause the aircraft to touch down farther down the runway

Purpose of a displaced threshold is to:

runway is closed

A large letter "X" placed near the runway threshold indicates the

military airport

An airport beacon with two white flashes and one green flash indicates

What are the special VFR weather minimums for flight within Class D airspace?
