Study Notes
Propeller Operation in Multi-Engine Aircraft
- Increasing oil pressure in the propeller hub moves the blades towards low-pitch, high rpm.
Recommended Bank Angle for Turns
- The recommended bank angle for turns with one engine inoperative is 15 degrees.
Propeller Assymetry in High AoA
- In high Angle of Attack (AoA) situations, the descending propeller blade generates more thrust than the ascending blade, causing asymmetry.
Factors Affecting Vmc
- Factors that lower Vmc (the minimum control speed) is an increase in weight and a forward CG.
Propeller Effect on Airplane Turns
- Propeller asymmetry contributes to a left turning tendency in conventional airplanes.
Power Reduction During Approach
- A sudden power reduction during an approach results in a high rate of descent (RoD).
Fuel Pump Types
- There are two types of fuel pumps: engine-driven fuel pumps and electrical boost pumps.
Recommended Takeoff Speed
- The recommended takeoff speed is Vmc + 5 knots.
Instrument Approach on One Engine
- In a single-engine instrument approach, fly the final approach segment at Vx or Vmc, whichever is lower.
Critical Engine in Multi-Engine Aircraft
- The critical engine in a multi-engine aircraft is the one that is not in the same clockwise rotation, not the left engine itself.
Definition of Vyse
- Vyse is defined as the best angle of climb with one engine inoperative (OEI).
Pre-Takeoff Checks
- During takeoff roll, monitor RPM, map, oil temperature, and pressure, as well as flight instruments and fuel quantity, flaps and cabin doors.
Engine-Out Go-around Prevention
- Executing a stabilized approach helps prevent risky engine-out go-arounds.
Recommended Procedure for Turns While Rolling
- The recommended procedure for tight turns while rolling on the ground is to use nose wheel turning in conjunction with brake differential.
Engine Failure Consideration
- Engine failure must be considered for all departures in a multi-engine airplane.
Best Rate of Climb Speed
- The speed for best rate of climb in a multi-engine aircraft is Vy.
Density Altitude and ASD
- The longer the ASD (absolute service ceiling), the lower the density altitude.
Propeller Rotation and Turn Tendency
- Propeller asymmetry, despite both propellers turning clockwise, leads to a left-turning tendency.
Landing Gear Warning Horn
- The landing gear warning horn will sound if the gear is up and only one throttle is reduced to idle.
Single-engine Service Ceiling
- The single-engine service ceiling for a twin-engine airplane is determined by a 50 ft/min climb rate.
Inoperative Engine and Propeller Feathering
- If the inoperative engine cannot be restarted, feather the propeller to reduce drag.
Definition of V1
- V1 is the decision speed for stopping the airplane in the event of an aborted takeoff.
Propeller Synchronizer Use
- A propeller synchronizer may be used to balance the RPM between engines during takeoff but is not necessary.
Flaps and Landing During OEI Approach
- During an OEI (one engine inoperative) approach, flaps should be used as little as possible until the landing is assured.
Maximum Drag Condition
- The windmilling propeller causes the most drag during engine failure.
Altitude and Ceiling in OEI Operations
- Initiating a takeoff above the service ceiling with a single-engine failure results in level flight.
Altitude at Equal Vx and Vy
- The altitude at which Vx and Vy are the same is the absolute ceiling.
Landing Gear Indication Red Light
- A red light on the landing gear indication system indicates the wheels are not yet locked.
Effect of Turbocharging on Ceiling
- Turbocharging increases the service ceiling by providing a sea level or higher map at higher altitudes.
