Previous Questions of the Week:
Procedure

Note: Answers are posted below the question.


Answer:
Start on the fullest tank.  An hour into the flight, switch tanks.  An hour after you switched tanks, switch back to the first tank.  After switching tanks twice in flight, switch tanks every thirty minutes. 


Answer:
When facing a head-on collision, both aircraft should turn towards the right.  However, if one of the aircrafts does not turn toward the right, the other should make whatever position change is necessary to prevent the collision.  
Remember: Think in 3-D.  If you are not able to avoid the aircraft by turning left or right, diving may be your best option.  


Answer:
It is important to know that all systems of the aircraft are working before flight, and if any are not, to ensure they are fixed before takeoff.  It is not possible to "pull-over" in flight to fix a problem. 


Answer:
Light gun signals are used when a pilot loses his radio at a controlled field. 


Answer:
1. Reduce power.
2. Slow to descent speed.
3. Let the nose come down.
4. Use pitch and power to control airspeed.


Answer:
Come in 5 knots faster than a full flap landing.  Fly the plane down to the runway.  Raise the nose to be level 1-3 feet above the runway.  Wait for the plane to slow down and start to sink.  Raise the nose as the plane starts to sink.  Use pitch and power to settle gently onto the runway. 


Answer:
Rollout onto the runway holding the nose high with the flaps set for a short field take-off.  Agressively add power, but keep the plane rolling.  Stagger off the runway as soon as possible.  As soon as airborne, lower the nose to fly one to two feet above the runway, and accelerate to Vx.  Climb at Vx until you are clear of obstacles.  Lower the nose, and accelerate to Vy, reducing flaps to 0 as speed permits. 


Answer:
1. Continue downwind to cardinal point (top of "T" made by both base legs and final). 
2. Reduce power.
3. Add one knotch of flaps.
4. Turn base.
5. Add second knotch of flaps.
6. Turn final.  You should be high, and you will need to gauge your descent.
7. Add full flaps.
8. Slow to the short final speed specific for your aircraft (for FlyBoys' Archer and 172 this is 65 knots).
9. Adjust pitch and power to maintain a steep descent at short final speed.
10. Once clear of obstacles, adjust pitch and power for landing. 
11. Flare hard.
12. Apply maximum brakes upon touchdown.
13. Remove flaps. 


Answer:
"Touchdown should be made at lowest possible speed. Fly a stabilized approach. Touchdown should occur gently in a nose-high attitude. Maintain yoke backpressure to hold the nose wheel off the runway as long as possible." - Randy Mcknight


Answer:
"3 clicks low, 5 clicks med, 7 clicks high, griffin is 6 on and 6 off" - compliments to person who sent in their answer to the question



Answer:
The mag check is designed to make sure that each individual magneto and each set of spark plugs are working correctly.
