Approach category speeds are defined by which formula?
Approach category speeds are defined by which formula?
This speed is defined to be equal to the greater of stall speed (Vso) multiplied by 1.3, or stall speed (Vs1g) multiplied by 1.23.
The landing configuration that is to be taken into consideration can be defined by either the operator or by the aeroplane manufacturer but is most commonly assigned by the manufacturer.
Why will a jet usually not fly at 41.000 feet?

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.
