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 DOM?
What is DOM?
The Dry Operating Mass (DOM) is the Basic Empty Mass and the Variable Load, also called the Aircraft Prepared for Service (APS) weight.
What is an MCP and what is an FMA?
What is an MCP and what is an FMA?
The mode control panel is used to select the autothrottle, autopilot, and flight director operating modes. The flight mode annunciator displays current flight modes.
What is a jet stream?
What is a jet stream?
Jet streams are narrow bands of high-speed upper thermal winds at very high altitudes.
How does a stall strip work?
How does a stall strip work?
A stall strip, usually located close to the wing root, causes the airflow to separate at a lower angle of attack and ensures that the wing root stalls before the wing tips.
What are winglets and what is the advantage of winglets?
What are winglets and what is the advantage of winglets?
They are aerodynamically efficient surfaces located at the wing tips, designed to reduce induced drag and increase fuel efficiency.
They increase efficiency by reducing the size of the wingtip vortices, which are created by the difference between the pressure on the upper surface of the wing and that on the lower surface.
Why are the indications on an FMA preferred over an MCP?
Why are the indications on an FMA preferred over an MCP?
Always make sure to update yourself with the latest information on these type of questions.
CFM56-7 series with a max takeoff thrust of 27,300lb.
These engines have higher thrust, improved efficiency, and lower maintenance costs than its predecessor, the CFM56-3 series.
180 minutes extended range (ETOPS).
Bypass ratio 5.5:1
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
Center of pressure moves forward when approaching a stall.
What frequency range and band is an NDB in?
What frequency range and band is an NDB in?
Frequency range from 200-1750kHz, medium and low range frequency bands.
What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach?
What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach?
You will need to have a clearance, to be stable and visual.
