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.
How does anti-skid work?
How does anti-skid work?
Antiskid has a detection system that senses the moment a wheel stops rotating.
Once it senses that the wheel is not rotating, the antiskid system releases brake pressure. This allows the wheel to regain traction with the surface, so that break application can be resumed and prevents complete loss of controllability.
Which flight will take the shortest time, from London to New York or New York to London?
Which flight will take the shortest time, from London to New York or New York to London?
New York to London (flying east) would take less time because of the Polar front westerly jet stream.
Can VMCG be lower than V1? Explain.
Can VMCG be lower than V1? Explain.
Yes, VMCG has to be equal to or less than V1 to ensure the aircraft could maintain runway heading having suffered an engine failure at or above V1 when the aircraft is committed to takeoff.
What is windshear?
What is windshear?
Windshear is a change of wind speed and/or direction from place to place, including updraughts and down draughts.
It is ussualy characterized by a strong change over a short distance. Windshear can effect the flight path and airspeed and can be hazardous.
How do you get out of a spiral dive on a Cessna?
How do you get out of a spiral dive on a Cessna?
-
Unload. Make sure you are no longer 'pulling G's'
-
Roll wings level
-
Power Reduce the power to avoid overspeeding.
-
gently pull back on the control wheel to ease out of the dive.
When slowed down to a safe airspeed apply throttle as needed.
(N.b.: Do not confuse a spiral dive with a spin)
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.
What is the cabin altitude of the Boeing 737 on a cruise flight level?
What is the cabin altitude of the Boeing 737 on a cruise flight level?
8.000ft
What is an orographic cloud?
What is an orographic cloud?
An orographic cloud is formed as the air rises up the slope and will often envelope the summit.
When the air is humid, some of the moisture will fall on the windward slope and on the summit of the mountain.
