Test questions from my Pre-Solo written

[midlifeflyer]

In my 1500 hours of dual given I have lost I believe 4 alternators. And each and every time my students went into a panic. I would simply let them know that it was not a big deal, the plane will fly just fine without it. Two of them paniced so much that I believe that if this happened to them alone they would have crashed. Now as part of the PPL training with my students I will shut off all of the electrical of the airplane and let them fly it that way for about 30 mins just to show them that they do not need to panic.

That's probably the reason that this pre solo test has that question.

Best answer to it I can think of is (1) Look in the POH for the procedure* (2) If it doesn't start up again, shut down both sides of the master and conserve the battery, especially if you're going to be landing at a towered airport (that's a step beyon the POH and assumes good VFR).

*I think it's a real bad idea to answer pre-solo test questions for student pilots in a forum. Especially when the post starts off with

I left my Cessna 172r man. in my locker after school today

and only half of the questions even require the manual. I also notice that in answering the alternator question, no one actually gave the Cessna 172R procedure, which I'd bet is what the pre-solo test is calling for.

Thank you for your imput. It seems to me you dont know what your talking about all that much. Ill listen to someone with more Flight time than you. Thanks again

1) Agree with previous post

2) Agree with previous but I'll take it a step further....read 91.207B

3) Recycle it (Turn it off then back on) if that dosen't work begin to turn off any unnecessary radios, lights, or navigation equipment. Remember if the alternator is not working your running off battery power...your batter is only gonna last so long. If you really wanna do it by the book. Pull out the checklist to see what Cessna says to do.

4) Agree with previous post....but why is the take off roll longer. Less air going into the engine....less avaiable power. Prop efficency is reduced...less thrust being produced Those 2 thing togetherwill give you the longer take off roll. Your climb performance will also be reduced

I did look at number 3

Of course it seems to me that you're too lazy to do your homework.

How would you know if any of us know what we're talking about to begin with? You're about to take a pre-solo written. You have no basis of comparison. I could tell you that the alternator ejects itself out of the airplane and falls to earth with a little parachute, and you might not know any better.

Seriously, show some respect.

I show no respect to those who show me none. Ive learned to do that on here. I needed to get tha Pre solo writen done that day because i was going flying later on. my instructor went over it with me so it was all good. I would have asked my dad but he was flying, He flys the Air bus A320 for UAL as an air check man. But i of corse see your point. i would never have asked these questions if i had the book with me that day. so thank you for your post. have a great day

Cheers!:beer:

This is only about the 20th time you've mentioned this. I'll never forget when you're dad came on here and told folks to make nice with you or else. Can't forget his power trip phrase "Son, I will be the one across the table at your interview.":laugh:

Where did he say this?????????

i'm brutally intoxicated when i practice 172 emergencies on fs2002.... you should practice the same..

if you can do it when you're hammered on fs, chances are you have a *shot* of SURIVIVING in real life when you're sober.


*shot* = minute possibility

note: it took me 12 minutes to make this post without spelling errors

You know what else is awesome!! Getting drunk and then drive a car with the headlights off at night right at a car then turn on your high beams! MAN THATS FUN!!!!!!
