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.
Do single engined planes have a VMCG?
Do single engined planes have a VMCG?
No, VMCG is defined as the minimum control speed on the ground, with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine airplanes), takeoff power on other engine(s), using aerodynamic controls only for directional control and thus only applicable to ME aircraft.
Why is there an over boost protection on the Piper PA34 Seneca?
Why is there an over boost protection on the Piper PA34 Seneca?
To protect the engine from blowing up as it is easy to open the throttles to far during take off at sea level.
What is a VOR? What frequency range and band is it in?
What is a VOR? What frequency range and band is it in?
VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR) is defined as VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range, an aircraft navigation system operating in the VHF band.
VOR's are assigned radio channels between 108.0 MHz and 117.95 MHz (with 50 kHz spacing); this is in the very high frequency (VHF) range.
What are the advantages of fuel injection vs a carburetor?
What are the advantages of fuel injection vs a carburetor?
Fuel injection provides:
-
Fuel free from vaporization ice
-
Better economy through metered delivery
-
More responsive and efficient engine
-
Less maintenance
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 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.
How can you calculate Vref?
How can you calculate Vref?
Vref = 1.3 x Vs0 (stall speed in the landing configuration).
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.
What is VMBE?
What is VMBE?
The maximum brake energy speed.
It is a function of the gross weight, altitude, temperature, runway slope, wind component, and braking configuration.
V1 must be less than VMBE.
