What is a wing tip?
What is a wing tip?
A wing tip is the part of the wing that is the most distant from the fuselage of a fixed-wing aircraft.
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.
What is density altitude? and what is pressure altitude?
What is density altitude? and what is pressure altitude?
Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for temperature.
Pressure altitude is the indicated altitude when an altimeter is set to 29.92 (1,013.2 mb).
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
Center of pressure moves forward when approaching a stall.
What are the advantages of an all moving/variable incidence tailplane?
What are the advantages of an all moving/variable incidence tailplane?
This provides pitch manoeuvrability.
Longitudinal balancing by the trim system.
What are the components that make up a fuel plan for a minimum-fuel trip?
What are the components that make up a fuel plan for a minimum-fuel trip?
Taxi, trip, contingency, reserve and extra fuel.
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".
How does a stall strip work?
How does a stall strip work?
A stall strip, usually located close to the wing root, causes the airflow to separate at a lower angle of attack and ensures that the wing root stalls before the wing tips.

What are SOP's? And why do you think Airlines have SOP's?
SOP's are Standard Operating Procedures, they provide safety, uniformity and work ethics.
