What is Mcrit?
What is Mcrit?
Mcrit is the aircraft’s Mach speed at which the airflow over a wing becomes sonic.
Why does a wing stall?
Why does a wing stall?
A wing stalls because the airflow over the wing’s upper surface separates when the critical angle of attack is reached or exceeded. This causes a reduction in the lift generated by the aerofoil
If you take off on a two engine airplane with no engine failure and are below VMCA, will you have directional control?
If you take off on a two engine airplane with no engine failure and are below VMCA, will you have directional control?
Yes, some directional control as we still have two functioning engines.
What errors does an NDB suffer from?
What errors does an NDB suffer from?
NDB errors:
Interference from other NDB’s
-
Static, especially near thunderstorms
-
Night effect Coastal refraction
-
Mountain effect
-
Aircraft quadrantal error
What is CRM?
What is CRM?
Crew Resource Management (CRM) is the effective use of all available resources for flight crew personnel to assure a safe and efficient operation, reducing error, avoiding stress and increasing efficiency.
What are winglets and what is the advantage of winglets?
What are winglets and what is the advantage of winglets?
They are aerodynamically efficient surfaces located at the wing tips, designed to reduce induced drag and increase fuel efficiency.
They increase efficiency by reducing the size of the wingtip vortices, which are created by the difference between the pressure on the upper surface of the wing and that on the lower surface.
What is the critical angle of attack?
What is the critical angle of attack?
The critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient.
This is also called the "stall angle of attack".
You are on a flight from Stansted to Amsterdam and just after T/O you are at your cleared level of 2000ft when you have a complete radio failure. What are your actions?
You are on a flight from Stansted to Amsterdam and just after T/O you are at your cleared level of 2000ft when you have a complete radio failure. What are your actions?
First continue on the SID and try all available resources to check if you have a complete radio failure.
If so, squawk 7600 and return towards the airport.
Is the landing gear in the Seneca electrically or hydraulically operated?
Is the landing gear in the Seneca electrically or hydraulically operated?
We are missing the answer.
What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach?
What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach?
You will need to have a clearance, to be stable and visual.
