What is the effect of weight on the glide range?
What is the effect of weight on the glide range?
The glide range is not affected by the weight. Howver Vmd is. The heavier the aircraft, the higher the Vmd.
You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?
You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?
The elevation at which the airplane departed from the runway.
At high altitudes, what speed do aircrafts climb on?
At high altitudes, what speed do aircrafts climb on?
Mach number
What are the hydraulic systems of the Boeing 737 called?
What are the hydraulic systems of the Boeing 737 called?
Hydraulic system A and hydraulic system B.
Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?
Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?
The speed is too low for an indication.
Why do jet aircraft fly as high and fast as possible?
Why do jet aircraft fly as high and fast as possible?
Because the air is less dense thus the TAS is higher for a given power setting and for this reason modern jet aircraft are designed to be most efficient at high altitude.
What is ACA/H? What ACA/H did you use? Why do we have an ACA/H?
What is ACA/H? What ACA/H did you use? Why do we have an ACA/H?
Asymmetric Committal Altitude/Height is the minimum height needed to establish a positive climb whilst maintaining adequate speed for control and removal of drag during an approach to a landing.
In the Seneca at Oxford we used 200ft AGL. At this altitude when continuing for landing you selected the landing flaps (check clear runway, on speed, on altitude, landing clearance received).
You now are committed to land, single engine G/A with flaps 40 and gear down is not possible in a Seneca.
If you where picking up 10.000 litres of fuel in Newfoundland (cold weather), and 10.000 litres of fuel in Lima, Peru (hot weather), where would you have picked up the most fuel?
If you where picking up 10.000 litres of fuel in Newfoundland (cold weather), and 10.000 litres of fuel in Lima, Peru (hot weather), where would you have picked up the most fuel?
In Newfoundland. With cold weather density increases, therefore you would pick up a higher mass in Newfoundland.
How accurate are NDB's?
How accurate are NDB's?
NDB’s are stations emitting a signal. There is nothing for them to be accurate about. ADF's on the other hand, when tuned to an NDB need to be accurate within +/- 5 degrees.
While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?
While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?
Carb icing can occur with temperatures as high 30°C and humidity as low as 50%, but it is more likely when below 20°C and high humidity, especially during low power settings.
