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 BEM?

What is BEM?

Basic Empty Mass (BEM) is the mass of the aircraft with the basic equipment, unconsumable fluids and unusable fuel and oil.

What does a bypass ratio of 11:1 mean?

What does a bypass ratio of 11:1 mean?

For every 1kg of air passing through the combustion chamber, 11kg of air pass bypass the combustion chamber.

Why are airplanes wary of windshear?

Why are airplanes wary of windshear?

Airplanes can get uncontrollable during windshear.

What is anhedral?

What is anhedral?

anhedral is the downward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.

What is lift?

What is lift?

Lift is the component of the total aerodynamic force perpendicular to the relative airflow.

Lift is generated when a streamlined body, such as an aerofoil, is placed in a flow of air.

What is the angle of incidence?

What is the angle of incidence?

The angle between between the chord line and the aircraft's longitudinal axis. It's a fixed angle for wings, but variable for variable incidence tailplanes.

What is the speed of sound at sea level according to ISA?

What is the speed of sound at sea level according to ISA?

662 kts

Local speed of sound = 39 x √(Temperature in Kelvin)

15°C in Kelvin is (15 + 273) = 288

So the local speed of sound = 39 x √288 = 662 kts

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

What is dihedral?

What is dihedral?

Dihedral is the upward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.
