What general steps should you follow after an engine
failure in flight? - CORRECT ANSWER ABC's of engine
failure:
(A) irspeed - Pitch for best glide (65),
(B) est Place to Land to make an emergency landing
(C)hecklist for engine failure inflight (check fuel on, mixture
full, carb heat on, full throttle, key is on both, master stitch)
(D)eclare emergency on 121.5 or ATC frequency
(E)xecute Forced Landing Procedure
During flight, you begin to see a gradual decrease in
power. What is a likely cause and what should be done to
remedy the situation? (AFH chp. 16) - CORRECT
ANSWER Cause is probably carb ice build up, to correct
this add carb heat until RPM is restored. Also increase
power
During engine run up, you cause rocks, debris and
propeller blast to be directed toward another aircraft or
person. Could this be considered careless or reckless
operation of an aircraft? Why or why not?(91.13) -
,CORRECT ANSWER This is reckless and carless, could
be prevented by having prop blast go in another direction
Describe the hemispherical rule. (91.159) - CORRECT
ANSWER When flying a course of 180-359, fly an even
thousands altitude +500 ft (4500, 6500, 8500 ft). When
flying a course of 0-179 odd thousands +500 (3500, 550,
7500 ft)
