What is the role of Pilot Monitoring?
What is the role of Pilot Monitoring?
To monitor the flight management and aircraft control actions of the Pilot Flying and carry out support duties such as communications and check-list reading.
What is the mean camberine?
What is the mean camberine?
a line extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge equidistent from the upper and lower surface of the aerofoil.
Do single engined planes have a VMCG?
Do single engined planes have a VMCG?
No, VMCG is defined as the minimum control speed on the ground, with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine airplanes), takeoff power on other engine(s), using aerodynamic controls only for directional control and thus only applicable to ME aircraft.
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
Center of pressure moves forward when approaching a stall.
You are flying at FL350 and the temperature reads -30°C, is the aircraft at its optimum temperature?
You are flying at FL350 and the temperature reads -30°C, is the aircraft at its optimum temperature?
No because it is warmer, according to ISA temperature should be -55°C
Why are the indications on an FMA preferred over an MCP?
Why are the indications on an FMA preferred over an MCP?
Always make sure to update yourself with the latest information on these type of questions.
CFM56-7 series with a max takeoff thrust of 27,300lb.
These engines have higher thrust, improved efficiency, and lower maintenance costs than its predecessor, the CFM56-3 series.
180 minutes extended range (ETOPS).
Bypass ratio 5.5:1
If you climb to FL300 at a constant IAS of 250kts, what would happen to the TAS?
If you climb to FL300 at a constant IAS of 250kts, what would happen to the TAS?
TAS will increase.
How can you calculate the Operating Mass?
How can you calculate the Operating Mass?
OM = DOM + crew and fuel
What is an MCP and what is an FMA?
What is an MCP and what is an FMA?
The mode control panel is used to select the autothrottle, autopilot, and flight director operating modes. The flight mode annunciator displays current flight modes.
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.
