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.
If you are flying your light twin, how would you ensure minimum obstacle clearance if your engine fails on take off? How would you do this, or, where can you find the relevant information?
If you are flying your light twin, how would you ensure minimum obstacle clearance if your engine fails on take off? How would you do this, or, where can you find the relevant information?
In the airplane documents, as the airplane is certificated regarding performance to be able to fly blue line speed (or Vyse) in this situation, so I would climb at this speed to ensure minimum obstacle clearance.
The tailplane of a Seneca has an elevator and a trim tab, what does a Boeing 737 have?
The tailplane of a Seneca has an elevator and a trim tab, what does a Boeing 737 have?
The Boeing 737 has an all moving horizontal stabilizer.
What is a Mach trimmer?
What is a Mach trimmer?
A Mach trimmer is a system that artificially corrects for Mach tuck.
Would you be happy if VMCG is higher than V1?
Would you be happy if VMCG is higher than V1?
No, because if your critical engine fails at V1 you have to continue your takeoff roll, but because you’re under VMCG you are unable to maintain directional control.
Being an excellent pilot, if I can fly at VMCA, do I need a V2 speed?
Being an excellent pilot, if I can fly at VMCA, do I need a V2 speed?
Yes, for safety you will need a V2 speed.
On A high wing anhedral airplane, like a BAE146, and a high wing straight winged aircraft like a Fokker 50, why they don’t have dihedral wings if it has so many advantages?
On A high wing anhedral airplane, like a BAE146, and a high wing straight winged aircraft like a Fokker 50, why they don’t have dihedral wings if it has so many advantages?
A high wing location like the BAE and the Fokker give a natural stable contribution.
This is because the Center of Gravity is underneath the wing, therefore when disturbed the C.G. provides a positive momentum opposite to the distortion.
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.
Describe the take off segments.
Describe the take off segments.
1st segment starts at screen height and finishes at gear retracted.
2nd segment starts when the gear is retracted and finishes when acceleration alt is reached (min. 400ft max 1000ft) speed V2.
3rd segment starts at acceleration alt, minimum 400ft, and finishes when the flaps are retracted.
4th segment starts when the flaps are retracted, MCT is set and finishes at the 1500ft.
If you where picking up 10.000 litres of fuel in Newfoundland (cold weather), and 10.000 litres of fuel in Lima, Peru (hot weather), where would you have picked up the most fuel?
If you where picking up 10.000 litres of fuel in Newfoundland (cold weather), and 10.000 litres of fuel in Lima, Peru (hot weather), where would you have picked up the most fuel?
In Newfoundland. With cold weather density increases, therefore you would pick up a higher mass in Newfoundland.
