What are the advantages of an all moving/variable incidence tailplane?

What are the advantages of an all moving/variable incidence tailplane?

This provides pitch manoeuvrability.

Longitudinal balancing by the trim system.

What do you know about carb icing? Would you experience it today?

What do you know about carb icing? Would you experience it today?

Carb icing can occur in the engine induction system and in the carburettor of piston engines.

Regarding the second question, mention the conditions in which carb icing can occur and if it would be possible on that particular day.

Conditions for carb icing: when OAT is between -10 & +30, with high humidity (greater than 40%) and/or visible moisture.

What is wing loading?

What is wing loading?

Wing loading is the loaded weight of the aircraft divided by the area of the wing.

The faster an aircraft flies, the more lift is produced by each unit area of the wing. Correspondingly, the landing and take-off speeds will be higher and the high wing loading also decreases maneuverability.

What is a high bypass ratio engine?

What is a high bypass ratio engine?

In a high bypass design, the vast majority of the thrust is derived from the ducted fan, rather than from combustion gases expanding in a nozzle.

A high bypass ratio provides a lower thrust specific fuel consumption (grams/sec fuel per unit of thrust in kN using SI units), especially at zero velocity (at takeoff) and at the cruise speed of most commercial jet aircraft.

What are SOP's? And why do you think Airlines have SOP's?

What are SOP's? And why do you think Airlines have SOP's?

SOP's are Standard Operating Procedures, they provide safety, uniformity and work ethics.

What is DA?

What is DA?

Decision altitude (precision), the altitude at which a decision must be made during an ILS, MLS, or PAR instrument approach to either continue the approach or to execute a missed approach.

What is an FMA used for?

What is an FMA used for?

Bright yellow lights will light up in the cockpit.

How accurate are NDB's?

How accurate are NDB's?

NDB’s are stations emitting a signal. There is nothing for them to be accurate about. ADF's on the other hand, when tuned to an NDB need to be accurate within +/- 5 degrees.

What is windshear?

What is windshear?

Windshear is a change of wind speed and/or direction from place to place, including updraughts and down draughts.

It is ussualy characterized by a strong change over a short distance. Windshear can effect the flight path and airspeed and can be hazardous.

What is the role of Pilot Monitoring?

What is the role of Pilot Monitoring?

To monitor the flight management and aircraft control actions of the Pilot Flying and carry out support duties such as communications and check-list reading.
