- 1Requirements for most airplane structures includea fuselage, wings, an empennage, landing gear and a powerplant.
- 2The fuselagehouses the cabin and/or cockpit.
- 3Monocoque structurevery strong, but cannot tolerate any dents or deformation of the surface.
- 4Semi-Monocoque structureattached to the airplane's skin to maintain the shape of the airframe and increase its strength.
- 5LiftWhen air flows around the wings of an airplane, it helps the airplane fly.
- 6Wingsmay be attached at the top, middle, or lower portion of the fuselage.
- 7Monoplaneshave single set of wings
- 8biplaneshave two set of wings
- 9Aileronsextend from about the midpoint of each wing outward to the tip and move in opposite directions to create aerodynamic forces the cause the airplane to turn.
- 10Flapsextend outward from the fuselage to the midpoint of each wing.
- 11When extended, the flaps movesimultaneously downward to increase the lifting force of the wing for takeoffs and landings.
- 12Empennageconsists of the vertical stabilizer, the rudder, the horizontal stabilizer, and the elevator.
- 13Rudderattached to the back of the vertical stabilizer and can be used to move the nose of the airplane left or right.
- 14You will normally need to use the rudder in combination with theailerons to turn an airplane correctly
- 15Elevatoris attached to the back of the horizontal stabilizer
- 16You can use the elevator to movethe nose up and down, directing the airplane to the desired altitude.
- 17Stabilatora one-piece horizontal stabilizer.
- 18A Stabilator pivotsup and down on central hinge point
- 19A trim tablessens the resistance you feel on the flight controls due to air-flow over the associated control surface
- 20anti-servo tabprovides you with a control "feel"
- 21Conventional landing gearlanding gear employing a rear-mounted wheel
- 22Tailwheelairplanes equipped w/ conventional landing gear
- 23nosewheelthird wheel is located on the nose
- 24airplanes with a castering nosewheel may require you to combine the use ofthe rudder pedals w/ independent use of the brakes, particularly in tight turns
- 25Fixed gearalways remains extended
- 26Retractable gearallows the landing gear to be stowed inside the structure during cruising flight
- 27Oleo strutthis type of shock uses a piston enclosed in a cylinder w/ oil and compressed air
- 28Disc brakeslocated on the main wheels
- 29Brakes may also be applied tovarying degrees independent of each other
- 30Differential brakingused to help steer the airplane during ground operations
- 31PowerplantIn small airplanes, it includes the engine and the propeller
- 32Engineprovides power to the propeller
- 33Firewallprotects the occupants, but also serves as a mounting point for the engine
- 34Propellertranslates the rotating force of the engine into a forward-acting force called thrust that helps move the airplane through the air.
- 35Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH)most of the pertinent info about a particular make and model of the airplane
- 36Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)specifically assigned to the individual airplane and can be accessed by the pilot during all flight operations.
- 37Pilot's Info Manual (PIM)contains the same info as the POH/AFM except for precise weight and balance data and optional equipment specific to a particular airplane.
- 38General (POH)presents basic info such as loading, handling, and preflight of the aircraft
- 39Limitations (POH)includes, operating limitations, instrument markings, color coding, and basic placards necessary for the safe operation of the airplane
- 40Emergency procedures (POH)Provides checklists followed by amplified procedures for coping with various types of emergencies or critical situations. Related recommended airspeeds are also included.
- 41Normal procedures (POH)Includes checklists followed by amplified procedures for conducting normal operations.
- 42Performance (POH)gives performance info appropriate to the airplane
- 43Weight and balance (POH)weighing procedures, weight and balance records, computation instructions, and the equipment list
- 44Airplane and Systems description (POH)describes the airplane and its systems in a format considered by the manufacturer to be most informative
- 45Handling, service, and maintenance (POH)info on airplane inspection periods, preventative maintenance that can be performed by the pilot, ground handling procedures, servicing, cleaning, and care instructions
- 46Supplements (POH)contains info necessary to safely and efficiently operate the airplane's various optional systems and equipment
- 47Safety and operational tips (POH)optional info from the manufacturer of a general nature addressing safety practices and procedures
- 48Each aircraft is issued an airworthiness certificate and remains valid as long asThe aircraft is maintained and operated as required
- 49Airworthiness and registration must beAboard the aircraft during flight
- 50Annual inspectionsEvery 12 calendar months
- 51100 hour inspection10 hour allocation time to fly to maintenance station, but does not carry over
- 52Transponder24 month calendar inspection
- 53After the maintenance inspectionA flight test must be conducted by at least a private pilot before it can resume flight
- 54The responsibility for ensuring that an aircraft is maintained in an airworthy condition isOf the owner or operator
- 55OperatorAirline or flight school
- 56The PIC is responsible forthe airworthiness of the plane.
- 57Airworthiness directives (AD’s) identifyunsafe aircraft conditions and prescribe action
- 58Pilots may operate an aircraft not in compliance w/ an AD, ifthe AD allows for this
