25
Q

What is mach tuck?

A

Nose down pitch tendency due to a change in the position of the center of pressure resulting from a rearward movement of the shock wave which occurs as an aircraft in transonic flight accelerates beyond its limiting mach number (MMO). As an aircraft accelerates, the aerofoils create more lift

26
Q

Does temperature affect mach number?

A

Yes

27
Q

What is coffin corner?

A

The region of flight where a fast but subsonic fixed-wing aircraft’s stall speed is near the critical mach number at a given gross weight and g-force loading

28
Q

What are the differences between MEL and CDL?

A

MEL- required items to fly
CDL (config deviation list)- IDs parts that can be missing along with associated operation limitations

29
Q

Can any kind of oxygen be used in flight?

A

No, not if it isn’t approved aviation oxygen

30
Q

What are the two types of decompression?

A

Rapid/explosive

31
Q

What is blue line / its significance?

A

Vyse - 108. Best climb rate single engine

32
Q

What is the BTU of the janitrol heater

A

50,000 BTUs

33
Q

How much fuel does the heater use, and which tank does it draw from?

A

1/2 gph from the left main tank

34
Q

How can we cool the heater, How long does it have to cool down for?

A

Ram air in flight, blower on deck for 2 mins

35
Q

Define “accelerate stop distance”

A

total distance required to accelerate the twin engine airplane to a specified speed and, assuming failure of an engine at the instant that speed is attained, to bring the airplane to a stop on the remaining runway

36
Q

What acronym do we use to define the factors used in determining Vmc?

A

SMACFUM
S-Standard Day; higher temp, lower air density, lower performance
M- Most unfavorable weight (light)
A- aft CG, lower CG
C- Critical engine windmilling, greater Vmc
F- Flaps T/O, Gear Up (keel effect)
U- up to 5* bank, lower Vmc
M- max power on operating eng

37
Q

What acronym do we use to define the factors which determine which engine is “critical?”

A

P- P factor
A- Accel Slip Stream
S- Spiraling Slip Stream
T- Torque

38
Q

Define Absolute ceiling and Service ceiling

A

Absolute ceiling: Altitude where rate of climb is zero
Service ceiling: Altitude where you can no longer maintain more than a 50fpm rate of climb

39
Q

When do you start configuring on a precision approach?

A

When you are one dot below?

40
Q

When do you start configuring on a non-precision approach?

A

41
Q

What is the number one cause of runway incursions?

A

loss of SA

42
Q

what is the maximum airspeed in which we can simulate an aborted takeoff

A
