Approach category speeds are defined by which formula?
Approach category speeds are defined by which formula?
This speed is defined to be equal to the greater of stall speed (Vso) multiplied by 1.3, or stall speed (Vs1g) multiplied by 1.23.
The landing configuration that is to be taken into consideration can be defined by either the operator or by the aeroplane manufacturer but is most commonly assigned by the manufacturer.
What are the advantages of swept wings?
What are the advantages of swept wings?
Swept wings are:
Better for high speed flight as they have minimal camber and thickness reduce drag and delay Mcrit More stable in turbulence as they produce less lift and as a result they are less responsive to updraughts
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 the mean camberine?
What is the mean camberine?
a line extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge equidistent from the upper and lower surface of the aerofoil.
What are the G-limits of the Boeing 737-800?
What are the G-limits of the Boeing 737-800?
+2.5G / -1.0G
What is advection fog?
What is advection fog?
Advection fog occurs when moist air passes over a cool surface by advection (wind) and is cooled.
It is common as a warm front passes over an area with significant snowpack, but it is most common at sea when tropical air encounters cooler waters, including areas of cold water upwelling, such as along the coast of California.
What is the critical angle of attack?
What is the critical angle of attack?
The angle between the chordline and the incoming airflow.
What is the optimum ISA cruise altitude for the Boeing 737?
What is the optimum ISA cruise altitude for the Boeing 737?
To varify the nose gear position (up or down).
What is dihedral?
What is dihedral?
Dihedral is the upward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.
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)
