AVIT 323 EXAMINATION TEST FULL
QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE ANSWERS
GRADED A+
●● Which one will get us to our final altitude quicker?
Answer: Vy will get us to our final destination quicker!
●● What is Vo?
Answer: Maximum Operating Maneuvering speed - The speed at which
you can perform a full scale pitch up and not break the plane. You will
stall before breaking.
●● Why does Vo change with weight?
Answer: Due to the load factor on the aircraft. Higher weight, higher
load factor, therefore higher airspeed to compensate for it.
●● When below Vo, can you have full deflection of more than one
control surface?
Answer: No - only one direction full deflection
●● What is Vno?
Answer: Maximum Structural Cruising Speed
,●● Can we exceed Vno? When?
Answer: Yes, when in smooth air
●● What factors affect stall speed?
Answer: Wing Contamination, Air Density, Aircraft Weight etc.
●● Why do we turn the fuel pump on during engine failure during
flight?
Answer: The engine driven fuel pump would not be functioning so
getting the electric pump on would be important.
●● Why do we open the alternate air during engine failure in flight?
Answer: In case there is a blockage in the normal induction air intake.
Decreases performance, less dense air, richer fuel: air ratio, (we want
15:1 stochiometric ratio)
●● Where is the air intake on the archer?
Answer: Below the propeller on the bottom part of the cowling.
●● Why do we open the throttle fully during engine fire during start?
Answer: You want to suck the fire into the engine. Blow out the candle.
Want to burn the excess fuel in the engine as quickly as possible. Too
much air for the fire - blowing out the candle
,●● Why do we close the heat and defroster during engine fire during
flight?
Answer: Close the heat and defroster to avoid contamination coming
inside the cabin. Could result in CO poisoning. Same thing with the
defroster.
●● What are some reasons we would do an emergency descent?
Answer: Engine fire. Depressurization. Cloud layer hole. Sick passenger.
Need to descend in timely and fast manner.
●● What is a spin??
Answer: Aggravated stall with Yaw leads to autorotation about the spin
axis.
●● What are the four stages of a spin?
Answer: Entry - sideslip during a stall
Incipient - unbalanced forces - 1 to 3 turns - oscillations
Fully developed - a state of equilibrium - constant
Recovery -
Rudder - Full opposite to the direction of rotation
, Control wheel - full forward and ailerons neutral
Throttle - idle
Rudder - neutral after rotation stops
Control wheel - Smooth back pressure
Throttle - As required
●● What forces are equal in a spin?
Answer: Aerodynamic forces and inertial forces
●● Do you use ailerons in a spin?
Answer: No! Aggravates the stall
●● What do ailerons into the spin cause?
Answer: Ailerons into the spin tighten it
●● What does tightening the spin do?
Answer: tightening the spin causes it to be a diving spiral which make it
a lot harder to recover from
●● What do ailerons out of the spin cause?
Answer: Flattens the spin
