Hey guys-what's up! Jon here from FLy8ma.com and today we're going to be
going over airplane parts and pieces. What everything's called on the airplane.
What purpose exactly it serves. So if you're brand new to aviation or even if
you're a private pilot most of the way through training trying to prep for a
check ride. you want to know what all those antennas are, what they're called,
what purpose they serve, what they do, then go ahead and follow along with us.
We'll cover everything on the inside and outside the airplane. Everything you need
to know to prep for your training and get you to your check ride. So here we
have our strut. The strut is kind of like a shock absorber for our landing we
have our caliper for our brake. We have our disk or rotor brake disc brake rotor
there and of course our tire, and our wheel assembly is this metal part the
rim we call our wheel we have a fuel sump so that guy right there is our fuel
sump.
We have a fuel vent, we have a jacking point,our tie-down ring, fuel cap, our
spinner, propeller, nose gear tire, so that's our tire, our nose gear wheel, nose
gear strut, that whole shock absorber assembly there. Main wheel strut, caliper,
disk or rotor for our brake, our fuel sump ,this is our fuel sump up here for
our gascalator. We have another fuel vent on this wing. We have another
tie-down point and over here on this particular wing we have our p-doped vane
and that's what we use tell our airspeed. So we have our little inlet hole there
we have our drain hole on the bottom and we have actually our static port right
on the backside there that tiny tiny little pinhole right there is our static
port that feeds our altimeter vsi and also our pitot our airspeed we have a
stall or angle the tax sensor here
we have our aileron our flap
our stabilator in this tab moving here we can see it moves the same direction
we move so when we pull back on the controls that tab moves up which
actually wants to push this back down so we call that an anti servo tab the trim
tab as well as an anti servo tap to fight against us when we move the
controls to help recenter them to make the airplane more stable of course we
have our rudder here our beacon at the top are white nav light on the tail of
the airplane this v-shaped antenna is our vor antenna on the top here playing
these weight antennas our comm antennas the black one is an ELT antenna or
emergency locator antenna the dome-shaped one there in the middle is a
GPS antenna and then of course we have another common 10 up up front so a lot
of comm radios on this airplane on the belly here we have a strobe light on the
back there it's a little covered up in carbon build up we have this whit
antenna kind of going back there and that is actually for our ADF that we no
longer have installed on the airplane the shark-fin intended there and the
front is our transponder antenna typically almost always look like a
little shark fin on the belly this little inlet here is actually to
bring cool air into how cool our radios and then of course this little door here
is to bring cool air in to cool us now let's go ahead and take a look at what
all the same parts and pieces look like on a Cessna 172 high wing aircraft so
here we have our strobe light and our nav light we have our LR on that
controls our bank and board here we have our flat
we have a few events here we've always want to check that make sure it's not
obstructed with any mud daubers nests or anything and that's totally normal to
see that thing dripping fuel if you fill the tanks full
on a hot day where it's spilling some fuel overboard we have our po2 the inlet
we have the drain hole on here we have our stall or angle the tax sensor up
here if we per mouth on that and stuck on that you'll actually hear a little
squealing from inside the cockpit that's basically what trips your stall horn as
you have the low-pressure from the top the wing move forward as you increase
the angle of attack the low-pressure moves forward pulls air through there
and causes a little horn to make a sound inside the cockpit to let you know
you're approaching the critical angle of attack of course we have our landing in
taxi lights up there here we have our static port that feeds our vsi altimeter
and also our pitot our airspeed we have our cowling propeller spinner we have
the ring gear that the starter engages with and our starters right inside there
we have our alternator belt and alternator down in there our exhaust
pipe our air filter and intake for our carburetor we have our nose strut nose
gear tire you could call this whole thing the nose gear or no strut and we
have a shimmy dampener on the side here in the job the shimmy dampener is to
keep the nose gear from doing the whole shopping cart effect every time you go
through our store and push the shopping cart you have that one wheel that
vibrates around a lot airplanes tend to do that if you put too much weight on
the nose and you don't hold the weight off the nose when you land so let's show
me the inner helps us with that we have our wing strut some air vents to let
some cool air into the cockpit to keep us cool we have a tie-down for our plane
to keep our airplane tied down so doesn't blow away our main gear tire
axle nut our brake rotor or brake disc our caliper that will stop us and this
whole assembly we could just call the main landing gear on the belly here we
have our little shark fin antenna that our transponder antenna the rectangular
shaped one or sometimes they're kind of dome shaped upside down dome shaped
those will be for your marker beacons and we don't talk about those as pride
the Private Pilot level but the instrument pilot should know what marker
beacons are so we look back here that back whip antenna is going to be for the
AMIA which is no longer installed the airplane and the other shark fin antenna
is for basically it's an old transponder antenna so your transponder antennas
always look like this and this little guy here is just a little bonus on this
airplane that is an old hole for taking photos right through the belly there at
the top we have an ELT antenna that's a locator antenna so in case you crash the
airplane your ELT you'll go through that we have this little GPS antenna of GPS
antennas are always dome-shaped we have another GPS antenna on the top there we
have two common tenez those are the two point back road
elevator horizontal stabilizer
our stabilizer
see in Panaji and the fuselage that fuses together the wings and the cockpit
inside here we have a few key terms like you we have a trim wheel and we also
have rudder trim on this particular airplane we have a fuel selector valve
we have rudder pedals down here we have our PFD or primary flight display some
instruments an attitude indicator VSI altimeter we have our turn coordinator
our tachometer and airspeed up there amp meter oil temp oil pressure and fuel
gauges
we have a flap selector that will help us lower and raise the flaps mixture
control throttle control and carburetor heat and of course all our switches for
our landing lights taxi lights begin all the electronics on the aircraft avionics
which is down here and master switch the master switch is basically you turn that
off nothing gets power if you turn it on and
you can start supplying power to individual items we have a primer that
will provide fuel directly to the engine to help it start and of course our
ignition switch with off left right in both mags we have our little ELT control
up here and on the panel we have an engine analyzer that tells us how our
engine is doing we have a Garmin 650 GPS that we can use for instrument flying as
well as VFR flying we have a second comm radio and we have a transponder and an
autopilot that does not work and also up here is our audio panel that's how we
select what radio we want to transmitter listen to and all the different things
that we could listen to in the airplane or adjust volume on squelch and things
like that. That's it for this video. If you have any questions at all just leave
