How does anti-skid work?
How does anti-skid work?
Antiskid has a detection system that senses the moment a wheel stops rotating.
Once it senses that the wheel is not rotating, the antiskid system releases brake pressure. This allows the wheel to regain traction with the surface, so that break application can be resumed and prevents complete loss of controllability.
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 DOM?
What is DOM?
The Dry Operating Mass (DOM) is the Basic Empty Mass and the Variable Load, also called the Aircraft Prepared for Service (APS) weight.
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 Vs?
What is Vs?
Stall speed is defined as the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.
You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?
You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?
The elevation at which the airplane departed from the runway.
