Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) is the reduction, from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet, of the standard vertical separation required between aircraft flying between flight level 290 (29,000 ft) and flight level 410 (41,000 ft).

Airplanes can get uncontrollable during windshear.

The angle between the chordline and the incoming airflow.

Note: this question was asked to a candidate with previous Seneca experience, make sure to be able to answer this question for your previous aircraft type.

Seneca is class A.

Aircraft are classified according to their Vat.

N1= Low pressure compressor spool or fan rotation speed. Usually expressed as a % of Max N1.

N2= High pressure compressor rotation speed.

EGT= Exhaust gas temperature, indicates the temperature at the first stage of the turbine, which is the most critical temperature in the engine.

EPR= Engine pressure ratio of the inlet to the jet pipe, displayed on the EPR gauge to use as a parameter for setting engine thrust

5000 litres

(4 tonnes / 0.8 = 5000 litters)

Swept wings, thin wings.

a line extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge equidistent from the upper and lower surface of the aerofoil.

Radiation fog forms on cloudless nights with only very light winds and high relative humidity when the cold ground cools the air above it to its dew point causing condensation (fog).

Usually occurs inland in valleys and low lying areas (as these areas tend to have more moisture) and usually occurs in a high pressure system.

In Newfoundland. With cold weather density increases, therefore you would pick up a higher mass in Newfoundland.
