1.
What is the minimum grade of fuel required for your aircraft? What
color is the fuel?
2.
In the event that the specific grade of fuel is not available, should
you use a lower or higher grade of fuel than normal grade? Why?
3.
What is the total fuel capacity of the aircraft? How many gallons
are usable?
4.
Where is the fuel selector located? What is the correct procedure
for switching tanks, if appropriate?
5.
What is the purpose of an auxiliary fuel pump? When should you use
it?
6.
What is the purpose of the fuel tank quick drains?
7.
What is the purpose of the fuel tank vent?
8.
When should you check the tanks for fuel contamination?
9.
What are some of the ways to reduce the possibility of fuel contamination?
10.
What is the electrical system voltage when the alternator is running?
What is the battery voltage?
11.
Does your aircraft have a generator or an alternator? Does it produce
alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC)?
12.
What are the basic advantages of an alternator over a generator?
13.
What is the purpose of the voltage regulator?
14.
How do you detect alternator or generator failure?
15.
Why is an ammeter or load meter installed on the aircraft, and what
does each indicate?
16.
Is the electrical system protected by circuit breakers or fuses?
17.
What is the procedure for resetting a tripped circuit breaker?
18.
Describe how you should use the primer during cold and warm weather
operations.
19.
After priming the engine during cold weather start, is it advisable
to "pump" the throttle after engaging the starter? Explain.
20.
During a cold weather start, the oil pressure gauge does not indicate
oil pressure for nearly 30 seconds. What should you do?
21.
During the magneto check before take off, when you switch from BOTH
to the RIGHT position, the r.p.m. remains the same as it was in
the BOTH position. Does this mean the aircraft has an exceptionally
good magneto? Explain.
22.
Is it possible for carburetor icing to develop during a taxi operation?
Explain.
23.
Should you normally use carburetor heat during the take off? Explain.
24.
What might cause engine roughness during run up at a high elevation
field (5,000 feet MSL) during hot weather? What action is appropriate
in this situation?
25.
What is the first indication of carburetor icing on an airplane
with a fixed-pitch or constant-speed propeller?
26.
What methods should you use to prevent engine overheating during
climbs?
27.
What methods should you use to achieve a lean fuel mixture during
cruise flight?
28.
Define the term "Basic Empty Weight."
29.
Is it acceptable to use the empty weight posted in the pilot's operating
handbook sample problem for weight and balance computations? Explain.
30.
What is the "reference datum"? Where is it located on
this aircraft?
31.
Define the term "allowable center of gravity (or moment) range."
32.
What is the center of gravity (or moment) range for your training
airplane at its maximum take off weight?
33.
Compute a weight and balance problem for the actual flight test
conditions. Does the center of gravity (or moment) fall within limits?
34.
What flight characteristics may you expect if the aircraft is loaded
with the CG too far aft?
35.
What is the maximum allowable baggage weight if the CG is within
the center of gravity envelope?
36.
How do you know if the weight and balance data of the aircraft have
been changed? How is the change and nature of the modification recorded?
