If you are flying your light twin, how would you ensure minimum obstacle clearance if your engine fails on take off? How would you do this, or, where can you find the relevant information?
If you are flying your light twin, how would you ensure minimum obstacle clearance if your engine fails on take off? How would you do this, or, where can you find the relevant information?
In the airplane documents, as the airplane is certificated regarding performance to be able to fly blue line speed (or Vyse) in this situation, so I would climb at this speed to ensure minimum obstacle clearance.
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.
What’s the temperature at FL150 according to ISA?
What’s the temperature at FL150 according to ISA?
-15°C
because:
-2°C per 1000 feet gives -30°C.
ISA: 15°C at sea level - 30°C = -15°C at FL150
What increases Mcrit?

If you climb to FL300 at a constant IAS of 250kts, what would happen to the TAS?
TAS will increase.
What is the height of the tropopause according to ISA?
What is the height of the tropopause according to ISA?

What does the abbreviation MSA mean?
What does the abbreviation MSA mean?
Minimum Safe Altitude.
On A high wing anhedral airplane, like a BAE146, and a high wing straight winged aircraft like a Fokker 50, why they don’t have dihedral wings if it has so many advantages?
On A high wing anhedral airplane, like a BAE146, and a high wing straight winged aircraft like a Fokker 50, why they don’t have dihedral wings if it has so many advantages?
A high wing location like the BAE and the Fokker give a natural stable contribution.
This is because the Center of Gravity is underneath the wing, therefore when disturbed the C.G. provides a positive momentum opposite to the distortion.
What is the cabin altitude of the Boeing 737 on a cruise flight level?
What is the cabin altitude of the Boeing 737 on a cruise flight level?
8.000ft
What is the range of a VOR at 32000ft?
What is the range of a VOR at 32000ft?
Range = 1.23(√H1 + √H2)
= 1.23 * √32000
= 220 nm
