Where does a swept wing stall first?
Where does a swept wing stall first?
At the tip
Does windshear show on the weather radar?
Does windshear show on the weather radar?
No
What sort of weather would you find at an occluded front?
What sort of weather would you find at an occluded front?
Low pressure weather, unstable weather.
What is the mean chord line?
What is the mean chord line?
It's the wing area divided by the wing span.
Can you go through DA or MDA?
Can you go through DA or MDA?
You can go through a DA, but not a MDA.
A Decision Height, used in precision approaches, defines the point where a go around should be performed. It accounts for the altitude loss during the initial seconds of the go around maneuver.
The MDA does not account for this and assumes the pilot will never go below this altitude. When performing a CDFA most operators establish a Derived Decision altitude (DDA) to account for the extra lost altitude.
What can you tell about occluded fronts?
What can you tell about occluded fronts?
Occluded fronts are formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a cold front overtakes a warm front. When this occurs, the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the Earth's surface.
Occluded fronts usually form around mature low pressure areas.
What is Vs?
What is Vs?
Stall speed is defined as the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.
What is dihedral?
What is dihedral?
Dihedral is the upward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.
What is an MCP and what is an FMA?
What is an MCP and what is an FMA?
The mode control panel is used to select the autothrottle, autopilot, and flight director operating modes. The flight mode annunciator displays current flight modes.
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.
