This time, we'll copy the OP's question so we still have it should the OP change it beyond recognition as happened in another thread ... [i]An airc...
Some thoughts in addition to Bob's comments - (a) [i]I used the figure next to "RWY WID". [/i]Sounds about right .. sure the question didn't ask fo...
Not my area of particular expertise but .. (a) aileron drag will provide an out-of-turn yawing moment which will be destabilising for the turn (b)...
I presume you are referring to operation below min drag ? I don't have anything definitive re slipstream at high alpha on light aircraft but I susp...
Ah .. you appear to have rewritten the question .. probably would have been better to put the second question separately. My original answer was to ...
As with any such style questions, the trick is to look at each alternative with a view to knocking out the silly (ie obviously wrong) answers and then...
Some observations. Initial pilot PoF training is a bit unfortunate in that it tends to look at this area too simplistically. Generally, for a co...
Some observations .. (a) the lift curve slope changes and, IGE, one sees more lift than OGE. In addition the stall speed is reduced somewhat IGE. ...
Indeed. (a) headwind will see a better glide distance with an increased speed. (b) tailwind will see a slight improvement in glide distance with a...
With my eyes rolled up .. (c) is the option they are after. However .. "none of the above" is the better answer .. none of the options is likely to...
I don't know of any civil aviation rules, [i]per se[/i], although I have no doubt that the military will have plenty. There are a few papers on the F...
50+ years in the aero game and the term has never been seen. Either - (a) the question was a typo, or (b) the informants' memories were deficie...
I suspect the answer sought is (d) clock .. for which a pilot may carry a watch in lieu. MELs and like documents can muddy the answer for simplistic ...
I don't have the reference to look at but the calculation appears straightforward - (in minutes), (a) (85+38) will be flight fuel for two planned ...
