No
What are the advantages of fuel injection vs a carburetor?
What are the advantages of fuel injection vs a carburetor?
Fuel injection provides:
-
Fuel free from vaporization ice
-
Better economy through metered delivery
-
More responsive and efficient engine
-
Less maintenance
How can you calculate Vref?
How can you calculate Vref?
Vref = 1.3 x Vs0 (stall speed in the landing configuration).
What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?
What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?
Assuming I'm performing single pilot operations:
-
power idle,
-
max brakes (and reversers if available),
-maintain directional control using rudder input,
-
After coming to a full stop set parking break.
-
Inform ATC 'Stopping'.
-
Initiate the appropriate process to diagnose the problem (ECAM, NITS DODAR, checklists....).
-
When performing multi pilot operations the actions performed by me will depend with my current role: PF, PM and/or CM1 CM2.
What is tire creep, and is it important?
What is tire creep, and is it important?
Tire creep is the tendency of the tire to rotate slowly around the wheel hub as a result of a millisecond landing friction on the tire before wheel spin occurs.
Yes, it is important because if there is too much creep the tire can tear out the inflation valve and cause the tire to burst.
What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?
What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?
Angle of attack is the angle between the chord of the aerofoil and the relative airflow.
Angle of incidence is the angle between the chord and the aircrafts longitudinal datum.
What is the range of a VOR at 32000ft?
What is the range of a VOR at 32000ft?
Range = 1.23(√H1 + √H2)
= 1.23 * √32000
= 220 nm
Why do aircraft have leading edge devices?
Why do aircraft have leading edge devices?
There are 2 types of leading edge devices:
-Slats. Slats are movable surfaces on the leading edge of the wing which when deployed, allow the wing to operate at a higher angle of attack, by delaying separation in the wing upper surface.
-Leading edge flaps (Krueger). Leading edge flaps are hinged on the leading edge of the wing and extend forward and down when deployed. they provide similar benefits as trailing edge flaps, by increasing wing surface area and camber.
Why is a great circle the shortest distance between two points?
Why is a great circle the shortest distance between two points?
The track changes constantly.
What are the lift qualities of a swept wing?
What are the lift qualities of a swept wing?
Poor, because the sweep-back design has the effect of reducing the lift capabilities of the wing.
