Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

  • If no IRS/INS/GPS was available, it’s easier to fly a constant heading (but you will need to apply variation).

  • If flying over short distances (as done during your training) the error introduced by flying a rhumb line is insi

What is anhedral?

Why are NDB powered so that they only have a range between 15-25 miles?

Why are NDB powered so that they only have a range between 15-25 miles?

NDB’s can suffer from a lot of errors.

What is wing loading?

What is wing loading?

Wing loading is the loaded weight of the aircraft divided by the area of the wing.

The faster an aircraft flies, the more lift is produced by each unit area of the wing. Correspondingly, the landing and take-off speeds will be higher and the high wing loading also decreases maneuverability.
