What is an aerofoil chord line?

What is an aerofoil chord line?

A straight line conecting the leading edge with the trailing edge of an aerofoil.

What do you prefer, a high or low wingload?

What do you prefer, a high or low wingload?

The assessor was trying to get to the approach where you need flaps and slats to increase S (lower wingload) in order to be able to fly a lower speed.

What produces the maximum glide range?

What produces the maximum glide range?

Flying at Vmd. At this speed the aircraft is flying at the maximum ratio of Lift and Drag, maximizing the potential energy consumption in terms of distance travelled.

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 Vs?

What is Vs?

Stall speed is defined as the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.

How would you explain to your neighbour what the difference is between a precision and a non-precision approach?

How would you explain to your neighbour what the difference is between a precision and a non-precision approach?

A precision approach uses both lateral (from left to right) and vertical guidance. A non-precision approach only uses lateral guidance.

Because usually the heated air bypasses the air filter, therefore it is possible for dust to enter the engine and so exposing the engine to unnecessary engine wear.

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 can you tell about occluded fronts?

What can you tell about occluded fronts?

Occluded fronts are formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a cold front overtakes a warm front. When this occurs, the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the Earth's surface.

Occluded fronts usually form around mature low pressure areas.

If you take off on a two engine airplane with no engine failure and are below VMCA, will you have directional control?

If you take off on a two engine airplane with no engine failure and are below VMCA, will you have directional control?

Yes, some directional control as we still have two functioning engines.
