1If one is current at night (3 takeoffs & landings to a full stop within the last 90 days) in a multi-engine airplane to carry passengers, is one also current in a single-engine airplane to carry passengers?
No
2Fully define the term critical engine as it pertains to wing-mounted engines.
The engine whose failure most adversely affects the performance or handling characteristic of the airplane.
3Regarding VMC: rudder force necessary to maintain directional control cannot exceed ___ lbs.
150
4What is the minimum airspeed in icing conditions for the KSU Barons?
130 knots
5When one engine on a light twin fails, approximately what percentage of performance is lost?
70-90%
6Fully define accelerate stop distance
Distance to acelerate to a specific airspeed, (usually liftoff speed), have an engine fail, and come to a complete stop.
7If you are instrumet current in a single-engine airplane, are you also instrument curren in a multi-engine aircraft?
Yes
8What is the quickest way to determine which engine has failed in a light twin?
Wings level, ball centered, dead foot, dead engine.
9Why is there a tendency for multi-engine airplanes to roll when one engine fails?
Asymmetric lift from the accelerated airflow over the wing behind the good engine, but none of failed engine.
10Do all multi-engine airplanes have a critical engine? Explain.
No. Counter-rotating engine do not, as losing one engine is not worse than losing the other one.
11Why is induced airflow/lift a consideration for a multi-engine airplane during approach and landing with both engines operating normally?
If power is reduced too early, the sudden and early loss of lift might cause a hard landing.
12Regarding Vmc: must be able to regain control with a heading change not greater than ___degrees.
+/- 20
13Fully define accelerate go distance
Distance to accelerate to a specific airspeed, usually liftoff, have an engine failure, and climb 50 ft.
14What minimum speed should be attained in a light twin before rotating for takeoff?
VR or VMC +5, whichever is higher.
15Does a flight review given in a single-engine airplane count for a flight review for a multi-engine airplane?
Yes

17When increasing bank from 2.7 to 5* in the BE58 Baron, what happens to single-engine performance? Controllability?
Performance decreases, controllability increases.
