In a carburetor the fuel to air ratio is governed by... - Answer Mass (or weight)
What happens to the Fuel/Air ratio when Carb heat is applied? As a result what should you do
for prolong carb heat usage. - Answer Air is warmer therefore less dense so you should lean
the mixture for prolong use of Carb heat.
What happens to an engine when fuel is not leaned at high altitudes? - Answer the fuel to air
mixture becomes too rich this results in a drop of RPMs and spark plugs may foul. This will also
result an more fuel used than calculated as per the POH.
What happens when you lean the mixture at cursing altitude? - Answer You are decreasing the
amount of fuel to air ratio to compensate for the less dense air at higher altitudes.
When Carb heat is applied what happens to the fuel to air ratio? - Answer The fuel gets richer
because the air becomes less dense.
As the Angle of attack is increased what happens to lift and induced drag? - Answer They both
increase.
The First Symptom of Carburetor icing is
a. Engine Roughness
b. RPM decrease - Answer b
A turbo Charger is powered by __________ _________ and a supercharger is powered by _____
_________ - Answer Exhaust gases, internally driven compressor powered by the engine.
If the pitot tube and its drain becomes blocked What would the Airspeed indicator do? - Answer
Act like a VSI or altimeter
If a pitot tube becomes blocked but the drain remains clear what will the Airspeed indicator do?
- Answer This is a partial block which will allow the dynamic pressure to slowly leak out. In this
case the ASI will decrease to 0
,What will happen to the altimeter if the static port gets blocked? - Answer It will freeze on the
last altitude before blockage
Where can you find the CRFI recommended value for a specific crosswind? - Answer Under
that specific crosswind in the Chart titled Crosswind limits for CRFI
What is a trough and how is it depicted on a GFA? - Answer It is an elongated are of low
pressure and is shown as a single purple line.
What does a double purple line indicate on a GFA? - Answer an upper air trough.
What is the difference between a trowal and a trough and how is each depicted on a GFA? -
Answer A Trowal (or an occluded front) occurs when cold air catches up with warm air. It is
shown on the GFA as zipper cold and warm front. A trough is an elongated area of low pressure.
It is shown on the GFA as a single purple line.
You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 30.12. Along the route while level at 5,000 you
check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.02. What altitude are you actually at? - Answer
4,900
You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 29.80. Along the route while level at 5,000 you
check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.00. What altitude are you actually at? - Answer
5,200
Define dew point - Answer The temperature to which air must be cooled at a constant
pressure to becomes saturated.
How do you estimate the base height of a cloud using the dew point and temperature? - Answer
Temperature - Dew point (Dew point spread) x 400.
At what rate does saturated air cool and at what rate does dry air cool? - Answer
Saturated=1.5 degrees/1000 feet
dry= 3 degrees/1000 feet
Stratus clouds are known for what type of precipitation? - Answer Drizzle
, What is the Air mass that usually occurs only in the winter time over Canada? - Answer
continental Arctic (cA)
What is the Air mass that usually occurs only in the summer time over Canada? - Answer
Maritime Tropical (mT)
What are the two air masses that are very rare for Canada? - Answer cP and cT.
Decode the following METAR: RMK SF5NS3 SLP134 - Answer Remarks:5 oktas Stratus fractus 3
oktas Nimbostratus Sea level pressure: 1013.4 hPa
Decode the following METAR: RMK SN2SC6 SLP270 - Answer Remarks: 2 oktas Stratus Nimbus
6 oktas stratus cumulus
Seal level pressure: 1027.0 hpa
How do you calculate the Freezing level within a cloud?
EG= Elevation 900 ft
Surface Temp = 24 c
Dew Point = 15 C - Answer 1. First get the Cloud Base (Dew point Spread X 400)
1. Eg: 3,600 + 900 = 4500 ASL
2. Then get the "new dew point (DP- (.5x(cloud base/1000)
2. Eg: 15- (.5x (3,600/1000)= 13.2
3. New DP/1.5 X1,000
13.2/1.5X1,000
4. Add that to the Base plus Elevation = freezing level.
4 eg: 3,600 +8,800 =12,400 AGL + 900 = 13,300 ASL
Btw, this is Bullshit! As the saturated lapse rate is not very steady
In a METAR regarding RVR what do the following codes means? D, U, N - Answer Downward
Trend, Upward Trend, No change.
In a METAR what minute average is taken for RVR? - Answer 10 Minute Average
