How can you calculate Vref?

How can you calculate Vref?

Vref = 1.3 x Vs0 (stall speed in the landing configuration).

What is the effect of weight on rate of descent?

What is the effect of weight on rate of descent?

To be the most efficient, aircraft descend at Vmd. Vmd increases with Weight, and therefore the rate of descent increases as well with weight.

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.

How can you calculate the Operating Mass?

How can you calculate the Operating Mass?

OM = DOM + crew and fuel

What is the critical angle of attack?

What is the critical angle of attack?

The angle between the chordline and the incoming airflow.

What does the abbreviation MSA mean?

What does the abbreviation MSA mean?

Minimum Safe Altitude.

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.

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 windshear?

What is windshear?

Windshear is a change of wind speed and/or direction from place to place, including updraughts and down draughts.

It is ussualy characterized by a strong change over a short distance. Windshear can effect the flight path and airspeed and can be hazardous.

What is the environmental lapse rate according to ISA?

What is the environmental lapse rate according to ISA?
