• 1.
  Aircraft Flight Controlsand Operation of Systems Task E
• 2.
  Primary Controls • Ailerons,Rudder, and Elevator • Control Roll, Yaw, and Pitch • Each control is correlated to a control axis • Lateral, Vertical, Longitudinal
• 3.
  Secondary Flight Controls •Flaps and Trim are the only secondary controls in our plane • Used to aid flight and can be used in ways to assist main operations
• 4.
  Power plant • L-ycoming •H- orrizontally opposed • 4- cylinder • N- aturally aspirated • D- irect Drive
• 5.
  Oil System • Usesa Wet Slump • Gravity feed system • Can be monitored in the cabin via pressure and temp gauge
• 6.
  Hydraulic System • OnlyHydraulic system we use in for brakes • Pressure on brake peddle is amplified via fluid to the brake pads
• 7.
  Propeller • Most traineraircraft use a fixed pitched propeller • Simply a rotating airfoil which is designed to create thrust to move the plane through the air • May be up to 76 inches but no less then 74.5 on either side.
• 8.
  Landing gear • Standardtricycle gear • Nose gear uses a OLEO system for suspension
• 9.
  Electronic/Avionics • Controlled viabusses • Can be seen as massive linkages connecting many parts into one • Avionics powered by the electrical system • Consists of radios, navigation, and lights on the aircraft
• 10.
  Piot Static System •Piot Tube and Static port provide information to 3 instruments • Airspeed, VSI, and Altimeter
• 11.
  Gyroscopic and VacuumInstruments • Gyro Instruments work on the principles of Rigidity in Space and Precession • Shows Atitude, Rate of turn, heading indicator • Most planes no longer use a vacuum system
• 12.
  Environment • Aircraft hastools to change the environment inside of the cockpit • A/C Vents provide air from the outside into the cabin • Heater can be opened, letting in heated air from the exhaust shroud into the cabin • Alt Static knob may be pulled to draw an alternate source of air in case of emergency
• 13.
  Anti/De-Iceing • Pitot Heat •Heater warms the pitot tube to remove ice and other blockages from tube • Carburetor heat • Allows heat from exhaust shroud to remove ice from carburetor.
• 14.
  Oxygen System • Mosttrainer do not use oxygen systems • Be conscious of ports and opening to allow airflow into the cabin in cast of carbon monoxide infiltration into the cabin
