Where is thrust produced in a gas turbine engine?

Where is thrust produced in a gas turbine engine?

Mostly in the fan, but also from the exhaust nozzle duct.

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.

While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?

While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?

Carb icing can occur with temperatures as high 30°C and humidity as low as 50%, but it is more likely when below 20°C and high humidity, especially during low power settings.

If in a go-around, which take-off stages will still apply?

If in a go-around, which take-off stages will still apply?

None. The go around procedure is distinct from the take off procedure. You will still have an acceleration altitude, but you will not have a screen height, V1, Vr, V2, flap retraction altitude, etc.

How much thrust comes from the N1 fan?

How much thrust comes from the N1 fan?

Depends on the engine.

In the case of the 737-800 CFM56, 27,300lbs total thrust at a ratio of 5.5:1

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 is departure?

What is departure?

Departure is an east-west distance along a parallel line of latitude, other than the equator.

Departure is calculated by: Change of longitude(minutes) x cosine of latitude.

Where does a swept wing stall first?

Where does a swept wing stall first?

At the tip

What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?

What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?

Angle of attack is the angle between the chord of the aerofoil and the relative airflow.

Angle of incidence is the angle between the chord and the aircrafts longitudinal datum.

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

  • If no IRS/INS/GPS was available, it’s easier to fly a constant heading (but you will need to apply variation).

  • If flying over short distances (as done during your training) the error introduced by flying a rhumb line is insi
