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 the coefficient of Lift?
What is the coefficient of Lift?
An adymensional number relating the lift with the dynamic pressure of the incoming flow. It is dependent on the form of the object and the angle of attack.
You have lost both alternators, how long would the battery last and what would you do?
You have lost both alternators, how long would the battery last and what would you do?
30 minutes, I would land as soon as possible.
How would you explain to your neighbour what the difference is between a precision and a non-precision approach?
How would you explain to your neighbour what the difference is between a precision and a non-precision approach?
A precision approach uses both lateral (from left to right) and vertical guidance. A non-precision approach only uses lateral guidance.
Where do Jeppesen get the information from to make their charts and plates?
Where do Jeppesen get the information from to make their charts and plates?
Government sources.
What is radiation fog?
What is radiation fog?
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.
Describe the movement of the center of pressure with varying angle of attack.
Describe the movement of the center of pressure with varying angle of attack.
The Center of pressure position is dependent of the angle of attack. As the angle of attack increases the center of pressure moves closer to the leading edge.

If you take off on a two engine airplane with no engine failure and are below VMCA, will you have directional control?
If you take off on a two engine airplane with no engine failure and are below VMCA, will you have directional control?
Yes, some directional control as we still have two functioning engines.
