Takeoff and landing should be accomplished with the fuel selector in position? 10. What is the maximum weight that can be loaded in the baggage compartment?. How much of that weight can be put aft of the baggage door latch?. 11. What is the maximum allowable aft C.G. in the normal category? 12. What is the engine failure after takeoff speed without flaps? with flaps? 1
13. What is the first two corrective actions if you experience engine failure during flight? a., b. 14. What is the first two corrective actions to be taken if there is an engine fire in flight? a., b. 15. What is the first two corrective actions to be taken if the low voltage light illuminates in flight? a., b. 16. List the first five actions to be taken when executing a forded landing without engine power. 17. True or False: If you notice an engine fire while cranking the starter, you should CONTINUE to get a start which would suck the flames and accumulated fuel through the engine. 18. List the first five actions to be taken if you experience and electrical fire in flight. 19. You notice erroneous instrument (pitot/static) readings. You should suspect a or, and put on the & 2
20. The low voltage light illuminates during flight (ammeter indicates discharge), what are the five actions to be taken? 6. If the low-voltage light illuminates again, then: 7. 8. 9. 21. What action should be taken if, while in flight, the oil pressure is low and the oil temperature is rising? 22. The engine should not be operated on less than quarts of oil. For extended flight, fill to quarts (dipstick indication only). /Section: 7 Page:21 23. You are taking a local flight and receive the aircraft from another member who just returned. When you check the oil level it reads 4 ½ quarts. Do you need to add an additional quart of oil?. 24. Excessive fuel vapor is most likely to be generated during ground operations when operating in unusually warm temperatures. Operation at or near idle RPM for extended periods will increase the chances of fuel vapor generation. Which gauge can be used to identify fuel vapor in the system?. What three actions should be taken if you suspect fuel vapor in flight? /Section: Page a., b., c.. 25. What is the maximum RPM difference between magnetos allowed during the engine run-up?. 26. What is the best rate of climb speed at seal level? 27. What is the best angle of climb speed at sea level? 28. What is the maximum demonstrated crosswind velocity for takeoff or landing?. 3
29. When executing a balked landing which procedure is most appropriate? a. Full power, reduce flaps, pitch for airspeed b. Reduce flaps, full power, pitch for airspeed 30. What airspeed should be achieved before retracting flaps to 10 degrees during a balked landing? 31. What is the recommended mixture setting when using the EGT gauge? c. 50 degrees lean of peak EGT d. Peak EGT e. 50 degrees rich of peak EGT f. None of the above 32. What is the capacity of the alternator?. 33. What is the capacity of the battery?. 34. What systems are hydraulic on N5312S? 35. Weight & Balance Scenario: Pilot: 240lbs Copilot: 220lbs Pax: 160lbs Baggage: 0lbs a. Is this situation acceptable? b. What are your options? c. Is the CG acceptable?
