If you only have a compass, which is easier to navigate along: a line of longitude or a line of latitude?

A line of latitude.
What produces the maximum glide range?
What produces the maximum glide range?
Flying at Vmd. At this speed the aircraft is flying at the maximum ratio of Lift and Drag, maximizing the potential energy consumption in terms of distance travelled.
How accurate are NDB's?
How accurate are NDB's?
NDB’s are stations emitting a signal. There is nothing for them to be accurate about. ADF's on the other hand, when tuned to an NDB need to be accurate within +/- 5 degrees.
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.
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.
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.
Can you go through DA or MDA?
Can you go through DA or MDA?
You can go through a DA, but not a MDA.
A Decision Height, used in precision approaches, defines the point where a go around should be performed. It accounts for the altitude loss during the initial seconds of the go around maneuver.
The MDA does not account for this and assumes the pilot will never go below this altitude. When performing a CDFA most operators establish a Derived Decision altitude (DDA) to account for the extra lost altitude.
What is profile drag?
What is profile drag?
Profile drag, also known as pressure drag or form drag, is the drag caused by the separation of the boundary layer from a surface and the wake created by that separation.
It is primarily dependent upon the shape of the object and increases directly with speed as the faster an aircraft moves the more air molecules collide with it.
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
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.
