AVIT 325 STAGE 315 QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
ANSWERS
Airspeed markings: What is the red line and blue line? correct answer Red line is
Vmc
Blue line is at 88 KAIS (one engine inoperative best rate of climb speed).
Are Vxse and Vyse the same as Vx and Vy? correct answer The speeds are the
same, but they mean different stuff. Vxse and Vyse are single engine speeds for
vertical performance.
Can you do intentional spins in the SEMI? correct answer No
Define accelerate-go distance,. correct answer The amount of distance required
to accelerate to Vr, experience an engine failure and climb to 50 ft
Define accelerate-stop distance. correct answer The amount of runway/distance
required to accelerate to Vr, have an engine failure, recognize the engine failure,
and come to a complete stops.
Define Vmc? correct answer Minimum airspeed at which directional control can
be maintained with the critical engine inop with a maximum bank of 5 degrees
into the operative engine.
Describe the engines. correct answer Four cylinder, direct drive, horizontally
opposed, air cooled.
, During an emergency descent, why do we lower landing gear and not flaps?
correct answer We lower the landing gear to create drag which allows for a
greater descent rate.
We don't lower flaps because we try and get our descent rate to 140 KAIS which is
higher than Vfe.
Engine Failure Above Vr: Why is the first thing "pitch attitude lower"? correct
answer While on takeoff you are already at a low speed and with an engine failure
you are going to slow down really fast. Lowering your pitch attitude will help
increase your speed so you can maintain directional control.
Explain Accelerated Slipstream correct answer The extra thrust that is produced
by p-factor will create more lift on the wings. The left engine's descending blade is
closer to the C/G which means the aircraft will roll less when the right engine is
failed.
Explain P-Factor correct answer The descending blade creates more thrust due to
it being at a higher AOA
Explain Spiralling Slipstream correct answer The propwash off the propellers
move to the right on conventional twins. The left engines propwash hit the rudder
pushing the nose to the right, helping counteract the yaw with a right engine
failure.
Explain Torque correct answer Newton's 3rd Law
Propeller spins to the left, plane goes to the right
