Multi-Engine

Question 1

Take Off

Answer 1

1. Hold brakes, run up engines to 2000 RPM.
2. Check engine gauges.
3. Release brakes, open throttles smoothly to full power; power should develop equally in both engines.
4. Maintain directional control with rudder pedals and rotate at 84kts.
5. When airplane is airborne and has attained positive rate of climb, retract landing gear, maintain best rate of climb (107 kts) Best angle of climb (91kts)
6. At 500’ AGL, reduce power to 25”/2500RPM.
7. Transition to cruise climb (122 kts.).

Question 2

Landing

Answer 2

1. Speeds: Downwind - 120kts, Abeam Landing Point - 110kts, Base - 100 kts.
   Final - 90 kts
2. Reduce power to 18”/2300RPM for entering traffic pattern; Below 143 kts., extend landing gear.
3. Downwind - perform GUMPS check. (Props forward at or below 122kts)
4. Across from point of intended landing - reduce power to 15”, add approach flaps (122kts)
5. Coordinate pitch and power to control airspeed and rate of descent.
6. Normal landings use full flaps.
7. Touchdown on main gear as throttles are being closed.
8. No flap landings require 110 kts. on base and 97 kts. on final.

Question 6

STEEP TURNS

Answer 6

1. Throttles to 18”
2. Slow to 140 kts.
3. Roll into 50° bank.
4. Plan to lead the rollout (1/2 bank angle) so the turn is stopped after 360° of heading change.
5. Again opposite direction.
6. On rollout, reduce power as needed and adjust trim to maintain altitude

Question 7

Accelerated Stall

Answer 7

1. Reduce power - 15” MP.
2. Maintain altitude by applying steady back pressure
3. Slow to 110 KIAS. Props High @ 122kts.
4. 45° bank turn in either direction.
5. Maintain coordinated turning flight and increase back elevator pressure steadily and firmly until the imminent stall occurs.
6. Recover by simultaneously reducing the angle of bank, decreasing the angle of attack, adding full power necessary to return to a straight-and-level flight attitude
7. Once positive recovery in assured, accelerate to cruise with minimum of altitude loss

Question 8

VMc Demo (Conduct at 5000’ AGL per POH)

Answer 8

1.Throttles 15”
2. Verify flaps up, gear up, cowl flaps open
3. Mixture full rich. 122 kts. props high
4. Left engine idle
5. Throttle (right engine) - Maximum Manifold Pressure
6. Increase back pressure so as to decrease airspeed one knot per second
7. Use rudder to maintain directional control and ailerons to maintain 5° bank towards the operative engine
8. At first indication of a stall (stall horn or wing buffet) or loss of directional control (Vmca) - Immediately initiate recovery: Idle right engine and immediately lowering nose to regain 84 kts. (Vsse)
9. As airspeed increases to above 84 kts. (Vsse), add full throttle on the right engine, increase right rudder pressure and maintain blue line (99 kts.)
10. Once established at blue line and told demonstration complete, set throttles and props to 18”/2500RPM
