16. 0 10 25 40 degrees
17. 200lbs
18. Safety speed for intentional engine failure 82kts
19. flaps, gear, cowl flaps, flight control deflection, sideslip, props
20. aircraft manufacturing under FAR 23.149
21. minimum controllable airspeed with engine out to maintain heading
22. because it increases Vmc
23 1 CG, 2. Density altitude, 3. power, 4, feathered prop 5, gear/flaps 6, 5degree bank good engine
24. engine inop that most adversely affects handling/performance PAST
25. misalignment of fuselage with the relative wind through use of rudder to maintain heading
2-5 degree bank into operation engine “split the ball”
26. 80%

28. 0 fpm 50 fpm climb
29. A.r.o.w.
30. vfr = land vfr nearest suitable squawk 7600 ifr= squawk 7600 avef for route mea for altitude
31. no because of centrifugal stop pins to prevent feathering upon engine shutdown
32
a. yes under left pilot dash close air intake and storm widow, heat and def on
b. AI, VSI, ALT
c. Under left wing
33.ground “fan” “open” 2 mins flight “open” for15 secs after heater is “off”

40. adjust mixture, operating engine cowl flap open
41. open cowl flap, enrich mixture, lower nose
42. air pressure decrease as altitude increases
43. outside atmospheric pressure
44. because it measures outside air pressure, may give false operating indications
 
wow... um yeah, youll go over that stuff with your CFI when you report for training. Thats why they get the big bucks!
 
Looks pretty good. I can comment on #21...

The definition the DE likes to hear, WORD for WORD, (nothing more, nothing less) is:

"Minimum airspeed at which directional control can be maintained with the critical engine inoperative."

Also, the same applies to #24, WORD for WORD:

"The engine, that when failed, most adversely affects the handling and performance qualities of the aircraft."

These two definitions will be beat into your head the first few days you are there...:)

Yup yup. Anything else and you might dig yourself a hole on the checkride.

PPL ME is the easiest checkride. Its a strange checkride for a new ACPP student, only because your previous checkride was a PPL where they asked a ton of different stuff, and everything was "graded." But for the PPL ME its all about the aircraft, I mean 20 minute oral tops. At least mine was. The DE doesnt have to watch your pre-flight. No XC flight planning. Just maneuvers. Single engine landing. Short field landing. Regular landing.

:yeahthat:

Memorize those two exactly.
 
Oh yeah, another item I noticed you had needs to be corrected.

#6...

ATP Seminoles have two 70 Amp alternators installed, not 60 Amp.
 
"VMC is the calibrated airspeed at which when the critical engine is suddenly made innoperative it is possible to maintain straight flight at that airspeed with a bank angle of no more than five degrees."

I think that was in the one of the books I read during training and it stuck in my head.

for critical engine
P Power max
U unfavorable CG, usually aft
T trimmed for takeoff
F flaps/cowl flaps
L Landing gear
A Airborne/ out of ground effect
P propeller windmilling
S sea level max gross weight
