T-38 DASH 1 CHAPTER 3 EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
A _____ procedure is an emergency procedure that must be performed
immediately without reference to printed checklist and that must be committed
to memory. - ANSWER Critical
To assist the pilot when an emergency occurs, three basic rules are established
that apply to most emergencies occurring while airborne. What are they? -
ANSWER Maintain aircraft control
Analyze the situation and take proper action
Land as soon as conditions permit
What conditions will trigger the GEAR warning when you're not configured? -
ANSWER 210 KIAS or less, altitude below 10,000 ft, both throttles below 96%
How can you make the GEAR warning go away when you're not configured? -
ANSWER Increase airspeed above 240 KCAS, increase altitude above 10,000
ft, increase both throttles above 96%, or put the gear down.
What causes the STALL warning to trigger? - ANSWER Landing gear
extended and AOA at or above 0.80
What causes of the FUEL PRESSURE caution light to come on? - ANSWER
Low fuel pressure, loss of boost pump, fuel leak, fuel line leak, generator phase
failure, surging of engine driven fuel pump
What causes the FUEL LOW caution to trigger? - ANSWER Either fuel
quantity is below 250 lbs for 7.5 seconds
, What causes the FLIGHT/UTILITY HYDRAULIC caution lights to trigger? -
ANSWER Fluid overtemperature, or low pressure
What causes the OXYGEN caution light to trigger? - ANSWER LOX reads
less than 1 liter. Light may blink on and off due to sloshing if the system
contains less than 3 liters.
What triggers the XMFR RECT OUT caution light? - ANSWER Loss of both
transformer-rectifiers
What could cause an ENGINE warning to come on? - ANSWER RPM
exceedance, oil pressure high or low, latched EGT overtemp, latched oil
pressure high or low, engine sensor failure
What airspeeds will trigger the FLAPS caution? - ANSWER 290 KCAS for 6-
50% flaps
230 KCAS for 50-65% flaps
210 for flaps >65%
What will trigger the GEAR voice warning? - ANSWER Landing gear is down
and locked with airspeed greater than 240 KCAS, or the nose gear is down and
locked and the airspeed is between 220 and 240 KCAS and increasing at
2kts/sec while ground speed is also increasing
T/F You don't need to ground abort if you have a PFL that reads FWD/AFT
COOLING FAN FAILURE. - ANSWER False, you must ground abort. In
flight, no action required unless an EED HOT PFL is generated.
T/F For an engine fire during start, if time and conditions permit, alert the
ground controlling agency and other crewmember of egress intentions prior to
shutting the battery/APU off - ANSWER True
T/F Cycling the flight controls once may reduce indicated hydraulic pressure
indication if air has been introduced into the respective hydraulic system during
servicing (Excessive hyd px caution light off on the ground) - ANSWER True
Any time the aircraft departs a prepared surface, what should you do? -
ANSWER Shut down both engines
