Why do we use Jeppesen charts/plates?
Why do we use Jeppesen charts/plates?
Jeppesen charts and plates are simplified and uniform.
Why do some airplanes have dihedral wings?
Why do some airplanes have dihedral wings?
Dihedral provides:
Lateral stability (during a roll) Wing clearance, wingtip to ground has more space
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.
What is the critical angle of attack?
What is the critical angle of attack?
The angle between the chordline and the incoming airflow.
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 effect of weight on the glide range?
What is the effect of weight on the glide range?
The glide range is not affected by the weight. Howver Vmd is. The heavier the aircraft, the higher the Vmd.

No
Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?
Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?
The speed is too low for an indication.
What is the mean chord line?
What is the mean chord line?
It's the wing area divided by the wing span.
What is the critical angle of attack?
What is the critical angle of attack?
The critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient.
This is also called the "stall angle of attack".
