Name the different aircraft categories, speeds and on which speed these categories are based.
Name the different aircraft categories, speeds and on which speed these categories are based.
Aircraft categories are based on Vat (in knots):
A <91
B 91-120
C 121-140
D 141-165
E 166 - 210
How does an airspeed indicator work and which errors can an airspeed indicator experience?
How does an airspeed indicator work and which errors can an airspeed indicator experience?
The airspeed indicator uses part of the aircraft's pitot-static system to measure and compare the dynamic air pressure between air moving into the pitot tube and static air pressure measured in the case.
The ASI is calibrated to ISA at MSL and represents the dynamic pressure as indicated airspeed in knots per hour.
ASI errors can originate and vary from:
Instrument Pressure Density Compressibility Maneuver Blocked pitot static system
Is carb heat an electrical system?
Is carb heat an electrical system?
No. Carburetor heat uses exhaust air to heat air going into the carburetor. No electrics are involved.
What is DA?
What is DA?
Decision altitude (precision), the altitude at which a decision must be made during an ILS, MLS, or PAR instrument approach to either continue the approach or to execute a missed approach.
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.
How do you convert between lbs and kg?

What uses the most battery power, to transmit or to receive?
What uses the most battery power, to transmit or to receive?

Can a helicopter rotor blade stall?
Can a helicopter rotor blade stall?
Yes
What is the typical range of an NDB?
What is the typical range of an NDB?
Average range over land 20 - 25 miles.
Range for an NDB can be calculated with:
2√power output in Watts = Range (Land) 3√ power output in Watts = Range (Water)
