Michael The requirement in 11.5 is referring to pilots who have met the 3 hours in command or one hour dual/ICUS [u]in a two pilot aircraft[/u] and...
It's not a typo actually. The AIP used to say that the temperature and QNH information was presented as four values, each valid for 90 minutes before...
The only time wind should not be used in a landing chart is when the landing weight is being determined so as to establish a take-off weight by refere...
Paul That's all been changed in the latest print of the book. The AIP now says that, unless you have a GPS TSO C145a or C146a, you cannot do an RN...
Firstly, congratulations on a simply wonderful performance in the IREX. Anyone who can get a mark like that for home study has something to be proud ...
Yes it does. Whenever the propeller changes its plane of rotation for any reason, there will always be a gyroscopic reaction by the propeller. Howev...
[color=#ff0000]See my comments below.[/color] 1. The first question asking about the separate static vent n pitot tube. What happen if the pitot bloc...
Your logic is quite correct. A symmetrical aerofoil would produce no lift at zero angle of attack. The pressure distribution over the top and bottom...
Yes I did. I note that we all agree that the airflow over the top surface [u]does[/u] speed up and the pressure it exerts on that surface [u]is[/u] l...
This argument has gone on for years. Bernoulli's principle is of course quite valid but it's true that it doesn't explain the production of lift for ...
Why am I not surprised! Two years ago I changed the Met and IREX books to reflect the 'new' presentation of QNH and temperature information. I compl...
The explanation given in that question is simply an alternative way of approaching the problem. It is, of course, quite valid to take both LMTs back ...
A clearance is required but, strictly speaking. it's not really an [u]airways[/u] clearance. AIP ENR 1.1 para 3.1 Note 2, says that if a VFR aircraft...
Gidday JH. For an aerodrome without an ILS or VASI/PAPI, I find that the best way to get the message through to sudents is to use the phase: [i...
Gidday Doug Sounds like you're going to be a very busy little boy! Thanks for the welcome and intro. We are in the process of updating the exam p...
