How accurate are NDB's?

How accurate are NDB's?

NDB’s are stations emitting a signal. There is nothing for them to be accurate about. ADF's on the other hand, when tuned to an NDB need to be accurate within +/- 5 degrees.

What do airplanes have to guard against reaching Mcrit?

What do airplanes have to guard against reaching Mcrit?

Barber pole on the ASI, flying at a Mach number at altitude and audible warnings.

On A high wing anhedral airplane, like a BAE146, and a high wing straight winged aircraft like a Fokker 50, why they don’t have dihedral wings if it has so many advantages?

On A high wing anhedral airplane, like a BAE146, and a high wing straight winged aircraft like a Fokker 50, why they don’t have dihedral wings if it has so many advantages?

A high wing location like the BAE and the Fokker give a natural stable contribution.

This is because the Center of Gravity is underneath the wing, therefore when disturbed the C.G. provides a positive momentum opposite to the distortion.

What is an FMA used for?

What is an FMA used for?

Bright yellow lights will light up in the cockpit.

Being an excellent pilot, if I can fly at VMCA, do I need a V2 speed?

Being an excellent pilot, if I can fly at VMCA, do I need a V2 speed?

Yes, for safety you will need a V2 speed.

How does a jet engine/gas turbine work?

How does a jet engine/gas turbine work?

Forward motion forces air into the intake which is a convergent duct where it is compressed (causing a temperature rise).

Fuel is added and combustion takes place increasing the volume. The expanding gasses accelerate to the atmosphere through the exhaust duct nozzle producing a propulsive jet.

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

  • If no IRS/INS/GPS was available, it’s easier to fly a constant heading (but you will need to apply variation).

  • If flying over short distances (as done during your training) the error introduced by flying a rhumb line is insi

Why do we use Jeppesen charts/plates?

Why do we use Jeppesen charts/plates?

Jeppesen charts and plates are simplified and uniform.

What is Mcrit?

What is Mcrit?

Mcrit is the aircraft’s Mach speed at which the airflow over a wing becomes sonic.
