Fuel will crossfeed, filling one tank, then may begin leaking out the fuel vent. 29. Does this airplane have a fire extinguisher and, if so, where is it located? Yes, it is mounted beneath the pilot seat 30. When should the auxiliary fuel pump be used? Test during runup, or when fuel pressure falls below 0.5 psi, or during the engine failure emergency procedures 31. How many fuel drains are there, and where are they located? One in each wing and one under the engine 32. How would an alternator malfunction be indicated? High voltage light may illuminate if over charging, or Ammeter will show battery discharge, dimming of panel lights, failure of electrical instruments, Aspen indicates it is using back up battery power. 33. What is the corrective action for alternator failure? Turn off avionics bus, check circuit breakers, then cycle alternator switch. If alternator is still failing, turn off all non essential electrical equipment and land as soon as possible 34. Is there a danger of losing engine power if the alternator fails? No. 35. What instruments will be affected by an alternator failure? The turn coordinator (which provides info to the autopilot), the Aspen ( it does have a 30 min battery backup ) and the avionics stack 36. How would you know if the vacuum system failed? The vacuum pump gauge will read zero, the vacuum pump warning light will illuminate, and the back up AI will fail. 37. What instruments will be affected by a vacuum failure? The back up Attitude Indicator 38. How long will the internal battery in the Aspen last in the event of a complete electrical failure? Up to 30 minutes 39. When should the mixture be leaned? During ground ops and above 3000 feet MSL 40. What is the procedure for leaning the mixture for Best Economy? Lean to Peak EGT at 65% power 41. What is the procedure for leaning the mixture for Best Power? Lean to 50 rich of Peak EGT at 75% power 42. When should the mixture be enriched for descent and landing? As soon as engine temp begins to rise or engine becomes rough 43. In flight, the engine is becoming increasingly rough and you are seeing a drop in manifold pressure. What do you suspect is the cause? 182s are prone to carburetor ice, try carb. heat. N133BW Checkout Rev. 1/26/2009 P. 3

Do you need to switch the Garmin 330 transponder from standby to ALT upon takeoff? It does it automatically 55. Describe the clock functions of the Garmin 330. Press the FUNC button to cycle between the count up, count down, and elapsed flight time Use the cursor button to allow number entries. 56. How do you turn on and off the audible traffic warning from the Garmin 530? (sort of a trick question because this is a not in the POH or supplements. Make a note to ask your CFI.) The audible traffic alert is monitored through the ADF button switch on the PMA 7000 audio panel N133BW Checkout Rev. 1/26/2009 P. 4

5 57. When will traffic set off the Garmin 330 traffic alert when it is in NORM mode? A target that will intersect your flight path within 30 seconds, or is within.55 miles, or 800 feet vertical separation will set off the alert 58. What traffic will not show up on the traffic warning system? Aircraft without transponders will not show up. The system only works in conjunction with ATC radar coverage so it is inoperative in areas without radar coverage 59. Where is the first place you should look after a traffic alert inside at the screen or outside for the traffic? Look outside first. If not observed, ask ATC for assistance. 60. Does the autopilot hold heading, altitude, or both in this aircraft? Both 61. How do you set VS (vertical speed)? Set the desired VS in the selector, then press VS on the Autopilot head 62. Describe two situations where the autopilot can induce a stall: 1) If the pilot sets VS past the performance of the aircraft it can induce a stall. 2) If the AP is set to hold altitude and the aircraft encounters a sudden downdraft, the AP will attempt to keep the aircraft at altitude and can induce a stall. 63. How do you disengage the autopilot? Press the red AP disengage button on the yoke. Performance: 64. List the airspeeds and power settings for the following operations: Throttle/RPM Normal Takeoff _full throttle_ /Max RPM_ Normal Climb 23 / Normal Cruise / Normal Landing (full flaps) _12-15 / Max RPM Short Field Landing _12-15 / Max RPM Balked Landing/Go Around full throttle_ /Max RPM 65.
