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 do high lift devices do?
What do high lift devices do?
High lift devices increase the lift produced by a wing, allowing the aircraft to operate at lower speed ranges usually for take off and landing.
What wings does the Boeing 737-800 use?
What wings does the Boeing 737-800 use?
Swept back wings
How can you calculate the range of a VOR?
How can you calculate the range of a VOR?
By using the formula: Range (nm) = 1.23(√H1 + √H2)
H1=height of transmitter (feet)
H2=height of receiver (feet)
Some wings, flaps and rudders are indented, why?
Some wings, flaps and rudders are indented, why?
To increase the strength of the surfaces.
The same strategy is employed by plastic water bottles, by adding ridges to a surface you increase it's structural rigidity
Are swept wings effective?
Are swept wings effective?
Swept wings are designed to be the most effective at high speeds. At low speeds, a swept wing produces less lift than its straight counterpart.
What effect does a wet runway have on V1?
What effect does a wet runway have on V1?
V1 is lower when the runway is wet than when the runway is dry, because of the longer ASDR on a wet runway.

Name the different aircraft categories, speeds and on which speed these categories are based.
Aircraft categories are based on Vat (in knots):
A <91
B 91-120
C 121-140
D 141-165
E 166 - 210
What clearance do MSA values give?
What clearance do MSA values give?
They provide at least 1000ft clearance over obstacles within 25NM of the homing facility.
