Thrust PPL stage 3 tricky questions 3

What’s the sharp open metal needle shape below the wings

fuel vent

function of fuel vent?

what’s the circle mesh?

cabin heat

what are the shark gills?

a/c vent

what is the teeny hollow white flipper

a/c drain

what’s the point of the a/c drain?

what’s the nike swoosh below plane?

com 2

what’s the comart on top of plane?

com1

what’s the metal wire on top of plane?

ELT

what’s the bottom long piece under the plane?

marker beacon

all red signs with white lettering are called what

taxiway mandatory sgin

when do we use a marker beacon?

ILS approach

name for metal connecting static wicks to ailerons and purpose?

bonding wire, to diffuse all electricity from leading edge to trailing edge

movement area is controlled or not controlled by ATC?

controlled

non-movement area is controlled or not controlled by ATC?

not controlled

what’s our suitable off-field site for runway 34?

golf courses on either sides

on a soft field takeoff, you climb out at how many degrees?

roughly 12.5

why do KADS winds shift frequently?

due to mechanical turbulence (uneven heating from all the buildings)

why do we cruise climb at 87 knots?

not pitching up much lets you see oncoming traffic. It’s an even middle between decent climb and faster travel

why do we do clearing turns to the left?

traffic passes to the right. If they pass you and you turn right, you could turn into them

does a clearing turn have to be 90 degrees?

no, it can be 180, 360, or whatever.

why does turning AC off help with steep turns?

4knot drag reduction

power on stall recovery

full power down climb out at 60-64

what do you say in an emergency?

Thrust 555 emergency landing ___ miles from ____, ___ souls on board, __ gallons fuel

what’s our thrust freq?

122.750

if best field is right below you in an emergency, what can you do?

spiral turns

even in an emergency, aim to land in a

headwind!

turns around point, s turns, etc. you should do what first?

pre-maneuver, bug heading

if you ground speed is slower in a turn you should

shallow it out because if you keep the bank in, you wont be as far

if your ground speed is faster you in a turn you should

steepen it up

to update nav data you already loaded, do what?

direct enter enter again or click in on obs and scroll CRS

when do you do wind correction for landing?

1 mile out, and keep it in!

steps for wind correction flying?

opposite rudder first, then aileron into the wind

stall speed with flaps is higher or lower?

lower

for a crosswind landing, it might be better to keep less flaps in because…

you have to maintain directional control

cross wind correction

into wind

tailwind taxi/flight correction

dive away
