Monthly Quiz #41Bu Lou J. Wipotnik ATP - MCFI

“WINTER OPERATIONS”1. What is the preferred method of cleaning snow/ice from the

wings and tail?A. Do a high-speed taxi - the wind will blow off the snow and/

or ice.B. Use a broom to get rid of most of the snow, that’s all that

is necessary.C. Use an auto type ice/snow scraper.D. Have the airplane placed in a heated hangar, and wipe off

all melted moisture before taking it outside in sub-freezingtemperatures.

2. What is the recommended procedure for using the airplanesstarter?A. Do not continue cranking beyond three minutes without

cooling the starter.B. Do not continue cranking beyond thirty seconds without

cooling the starter.C. Continue cranking, looking for puffs of black smoke from

the exhaust, meaning the engine is showing signs ofstarting.

D. Use the hand propping technique to save the battery andstarter.

3. Below what temperature is a pre-heat recommended and/orrequired?A. 0°C/32°F B. -17°C/-0°F C. -6°C/20°F D. 15°C/59°F

4. A practical alternative to pre-heat would be -A. Put an electric blanket over the cowl.B. Over-prime the engine, so when it back-fires you start an

engine fire, thereby warming the engine.C. Pay a little extra for an overnight in a heated hangar.D. Place a heat resistant hose over your auto’s exhaust, run

that hose into the intake ports of the cowl. It takeslonger, but works and you stay warm in the auto.

5. What is the probable cause of a cold engine just won’t fire?A. The aircraft is out of fuel, or the fuel line is frozen.B. The engine is over-primed.C. The spark plugs maybe iced.D. The engine is too cold and needs pre-heat.

6. If the engine begins to fire, what is the best way to keep acool engine running?A. Pump the throttle, vigorously.B. Lean the mixture, immediately.C. Pump the primer slowly, and put on the carb. heat.D. Pull the mixture halfway out and pump the throttle.

8. How can you tell if the engine has warmed sufficiently fortakeoff?A. It runs smoothly at idle.B. After one minute, if it doesn’t stop, it is normally warmed

for takeoff.C. The engine accelerates smoothly and oil pressure remains

normal and steady.D. If the oil pressure is in the green, the airplane is ready for

takeoff.

9. What is the safest way to prop an airplane with a dead battery,but has an electric starter?A. Be sure you’re on dry ground and the airplane is tied down.B. Have a pilot at the controls and another propping the

engine.C. Request a power cart with jumper cables, or have the

battery recharged and the airplane pre-heated.D. Call the FBO and have a mechanic or line person prop your

plane.

10. Which sources of aeronautical information, when usedcollectively, provide the latest status of airport conditions(e.g. runway closures, runway lighting, and snow conditions)?A. AIM, aeronautical charts, and Distant (D) NOTAMS.B. Airport Facility Directory, FDC NOTAMS, and Local (L)

YE’s flights had finished, Lou took Patrick and his father Robert,up for the same ride that their sisters had enjoyed. Since thiswas Patrick’s first airplane ride Lou gave Patrick a First FlightCertificate and told him to return when reaching seven yearsof age. YE’s can take flights from seven through 17 years ofage.

QUIZ ANSWERS1. C. The easiest and best for safety, is to place the aircraft is

a heated hangar. You still must take precautions againstmelted snow/ice running into control surfaces, aroundcontrol cables, etc. and re-freezing. The airplane must becompletely wiped dry before going outside in the freezingair.

2. B. Is most correct - However, consult the POH.C. Means the engine is probably flooded.

D. Never prop an airplane! Except, maybe in an emergency, orif it doesn’t’ have a starter, (i.e. J-3 Cub etc.).

3. C. Recommend 20°F or less. Always check your POH, FBO,School and/or Club rules.

4. C. You can also do your pre-flight in the warmth of thehangar before it is taken out.

5. D. Most likely.C. Only if it started and then died.B. Will usually back-fire with puffs of black smoke.A. You did a lousy pre-flight!

6. C. With the throttle set at 1000RPM, just use the primer slowly toplace fuel directly into the cylinders. Carb heat helps vaporize thefuel.A. Using the throttle will only flood the carburetor and kill the engine.A back-fire can cause a fire.

7. C. Most sources say you should allow not more than 60 sec. in coldweather and 30 sec. in warm temps. If you don’t see the oil pressureneedle move at all (doesn’t have to be in the green range at idle),shut the engine down, winter or summer.

8. C. The engine does not falter with smooth application of full throttle.A. May not have warmed sufficiently.D. Oil temp may still be low and the engine not sufficiently warmed.Note: To save engine wear, don’t do a run-up until cyl. Heat temp is inthe green. Without cyl. temp. , five minutes warm-up minimum!

9. C. NEVER! NEVER! prop an airplane, except, maybe, in an emergency,or if it doesn’t have a starter, and only after you have been checkedout on the proper procedures and pit-falls.

10. C. Some NOTAMS don’t get posted or in the system right a way. It isbest to phone ahead to the airport manager or FBO, and get thelatest up-date on conditions.
