Actually for the RPL and PPL exams you are permitted to use the Visual Flight Rules Guid (VFRG). If you use that publication you won’t need the CAO o...
If you maintain the same speed you will travel the same distance in one minute. With flap deployed, the angle of descent will be steeper. If you trave...
Gidday Deeroy For situation 1. It's probably helpful to consider the two extremes. If you descend at a constant IAS with no power at all, you wil...
That's great news Ben. It can be a long lonely slog doing IREX by home study. I'm glad to hear that the book was helpful, but you would get nowhere ...
The solution requires you to plot two points on the envelope. One representing the situation before weight is added, and one representing the situati...
It's a dam side safer than a motor bike mate!
Gidday Ashely and welcome to the forums. You're obviously 'one of us' and we look forward to your company. I love your Starlet, it reminds me of all...
When an area forecast says visibility is 4000 SH/DZ/TS, it means that the visibility is forecast to be 4000 m if you are in the showers, drizzle or th...
I can't see any reason why the angle of attack would have to be the same. This is really a compromise between the the power required to fly level and...
That's great news RB. Congratulations, a first-time pass through home study is something you aught to be proud of.. Bob
Unsaturated air cools at the dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR) of 3°/1000ft. In this question the environmental lapse rate (ELR) is also 3°/1000ft. If...
In any unaccelerated flight condition where airspeed is kept constant, the angle of attack would also be constant. This is because, for a given wing ...
If we assume that things such as wing area and air density remain the same, the lift generated is simply a product of angle of attack and indicated ai...
It can be simply proved that maximum glide range in still air is achieved by gliding at the best lift/drag ratio angle of attack [about 4°] for most G...
