At high altitudes, what speed do aircrafts climb on?

At high altitudes, what speed do aircrafts climb on?

Mach number

Why do you need contingency fuel?

Why do you need contingency fuel?

Contingency fuel is carried to account for additional enroute fuel consumption caused by wind, routing changes or ATM: ATM/CNS restrictions.

Would you be happy if VMCG is higher than V1?

Would you be happy if VMCG is higher than V1?

No, because if your critical engine fails at V1 you have to continue your takeoff roll, but because you’re under VMCG you are unable to maintain directional control.

What is adverse yaw?

What is adverse yaw?

When rolling the aircraft the up-going wing will experience more drag than the down-going wing. This will result in a yawing moment that directly opposes the desired direction of turn. (i.e.: rolling left will cause a right yaw.)

What is an aerofoil chord line?

What is an aerofoil chord line?

A straight line conecting the leading edge with the trailing edge of an aerofoil.

What is a METAR?

What is a METAR?

A METAR is an observation of the actual weather given by a meteorological observer at that aerodrome.

What is the range of a VOR?

What is the range of a VOR?

VOR stations are fairly short range: the signals are line of sight between transmitter and receiver and are useful for up to 200 miles.

Each station broadcasts a VHF radio composite signal including the navigation signal, station's identifier and voice, if so equipped.

What are wing tip vortices?

What are wing tip vortices?

Wingtip vortices are tubes of circulating air that are left behind a wing as it generates lift.

They are caused by the difference in pressure above and below the wing causing the air to 'escape' from the high pressure area below the wing to the low pressure area above the wing, by rolling around the tip of the wing. This creates a vortex that trails behind the wing.

What is Vs?

What is Vs?

Stall speed is defined as the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.
