Can VMCG be lower than V1? Explain.
Can VMCG be lower than V1? Explain.
Yes, VMCG has to be equal to or less than V1 to ensure the aircraft could maintain runway heading having suffered an engine failure at or above V1 when the aircraft is committed to takeoff.
What is RVSM?
What is RVSM?
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).
What is a moment arm?
What is a moment arm?
The distance from the datum to the point at which the weight of a component acts.
Describe aspect ratio.
Describe aspect ratio.
The ratio between the wing span and the mean chord line.
A high aspect ratio is associated with good lift to drag ratio, i.e.: Gliders.
A low aspect ratio is usually associated with fast aircraft, i.e.: Fighter jets.
With 10 minutes to go to the destination, you're being advised by ATC that you will have to hold.

Fuel, speed and holding entry.
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.
What is the relevance of the mass and balance document?
What is the relevance of the mass and balance document?
It’s an official document for the safety of the flight.
A copy of this document needs to remain on the ground.
What is anhedral?
What is anhedral?
anhedral is the downward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.
You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?
You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?
The elevation at which the airplane departed from the runway.
What is lift?
What is lift?
Lift is the component of the total aerodynamic force perpendicular to the relative airflow.
Lift is generated when a streamlined body, such as an aerofoil, is placed in a flow of air.
