Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?
Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?
The speed is too low for an indication.
What is EGPWS?
What is EGPWS?
Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System, provides a greater level of detection than GPWS.
EGPWS is capable of ‘looking ahead’ to identify potential risks on the aircraft flight path as it includes a terrain and obstacle database.

How can you calculate Vref?
How can you calculate Vref?
Vref = 1.3 x Vs0 (stall speed in the landing configuration).
What can you tell about adiabatic lapse rates?
What can you tell about adiabatic lapse rates?
When considering a volume of air, adiabatic lapse rate is the temperature change that is caused by the vertical movement of the volume, andThe Lapse Rate is the rate at which temperature changes with height in the atmosphere.
The Environmental Lapse Rate (ELR) is according to ISA 2°C per 1000 feet increasing altitude.
For unsaturated air, the lapse rate is 3°C per 1000 feet, this is called the Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR).
The Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate (SALR) is the rate at which saturated air cools with height and is, at low levels and latitudes, 1.8°C per 1000 feet.
Why are NDB powered so that they only have a range between 15-25 miles?
Why are NDB powered so that they only have a range between 15-25 miles?
NDB’s can suffer from a lot of errors.
