What are SOP's? And why do you think Airlines have SOP's?
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.
What is the speed of sound at sea level according to ISA?
What is the speed of sound at sea level according to ISA?
662 kts
Local speed of sound = 39 x √(Temperature in Kelvin)
15°C in Kelvin is (15 + 273) = 288
So the local speed of sound = 39 x √288 = 662 kts

What is a high bypass ratio engine?
What is a high bypass ratio engine?
In a high bypass design, the vast majority of the thrust is derived from the ducted fan, rather than from combustion gases expanding in a nozzle.
A high bypass ratio provides a lower thrust specific fuel consumption (grams/sec fuel per unit of thrust in kN using SI units), especially at zero velocity (at takeoff) and at the cruise speed of most commercial jet aircraft.
Is the tropopause uniform in height? If not, what height is it at the pole and the equator?
Is the tropopause uniform in height? If not, what height is it at the pole and the equator?
No, tropopause at the pole is lower (30.000ft) than at the equator (56.000ft)
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.
Could a Seneca fly to the South of France without stopping for extra fuel?
Could a Seneca fly to the South of France without stopping for extra fuel?
No
What is the formula for Lift?
What is the formula for Lift?
L = 1/2 * rho * Cl * A * V^2
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 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).
