Study Notes
Propeller Blade Movement
- Increasing oil pressure in a propeller hub moves the blades towards low-pitch, high rpm.
Recommended Bank Angle
- The recommended bank angle for turns with one inoperative engine is 15 degrees.
Propeller Asymmetry
- In high angles of attack (AoA) situations, the descending blade of a propeller generates more thrust than the ascending blade due to the differing airflow.
Factors Affecting Vmc
- Factors that decrease Vmc include increasing weight and a forward center of gravity (CG).
Propeller Asymmetric Load
- The asymmetrical load of propellers contributes to the left turning tendency in conventional airplanes. This is a true statement.
High Rate of Descent (RoD)
- A high rate of descent (RoD) is observed in a sudden power reduction during an approach.
Fuel Pumps
- Two types of fuel pumps exist; engine-driven fuel pumps and electrical boost pumps. This is a true statement.
Recommended Takeoff Speed
- The recommended takeoff speed is Vmc + 5 knots. This is a true statement.
Instrument Approach on One Engine
- For an instrument approach on one engine, the approach segment should be flown at the lower of Vyse or Vmc.
Critical Engine in Multi-Engine Aircraft
- The critical engine in multi-engine aircraft configurations with clockwise turning propellers is the right engine. This is false.
Rate of Climb Definition
- Vyse is the best angle of climb with one engine inoperative (OEI).
Pre-Takeoff Checks
- During takeoff runs, pilots should monitor rpm, map, oil temperature, and pressure in addition to other factors.
Stabilized Approach
- Executing a stabilized approach can prevent a risky go-around in the case of an engine failure.
Tight Turn Procedure
- For tight turns on the ground, a combination of nose wheel turning and brake differential is employed.
Engine Failure Consideration
- Engine failure must be considered for all departures in multi-engine airplanes. This is a true statement.
Best Rate of Climb Speed
- The speed for the best rate of climb in a multi-engine aircraft is Vy.
Density Altitude and ASD
- The longer the Aircraft Stopping Distance (ASD), the lower the density altitude.
Critical Engine in Twin-Engine Aircraft
- The left engine is not necessarily the critical engine in all twin-engine aircraft. This is false.
Propeller Asymmetric Load and Turn Direction
- Propeller asymmetry creates a left turn tendency in conventional airplanes. This is a true statement.
Landing Gear Warning Horn
- The landing gear warning horn will sound if the landing gear is up and only one throttle is reduced to idle. This is false.
Single-Engine Service Ceiling
- The single-engine service ceiling is determined by the rate of climb of 50 ft/min.
Inoperative Engine and Propeller
- If an inoperative engine cannot be restarted, the propeller should be feathered to reduce drag. This is a true statement.
Takeoff Decision Speed (V1)
- V1 is the highest speed at which the pilot must initiate action to stop the aircraft in the event of an aborted takeoff.
Propeller Synchronizer
- Propeller synchronizers are used during takeoffs to balance rpm between engines - This is false.
OEI Approach and Flaps
- During an OEI (one engine inoperative) approach, flaps should be operated as little as possible until the landing is assured. This is a true statement.
Engine Failure and Drag
- Windmilling propellers create significantly more drag during an engine failure than other factors.
Altitude of Takeoff and Engine Failure
- Initiating takeoff at an altitude greater than the OEI service ceiling results in level flight after take-off.

- The altitude at which Vx and Vy are the same is the absolute ceiling.
Landing Gear Indication System
- A red light on the landing gear indication system indicates an issue with the gear (ascending, descending, or unlatched).
