Climb Speeds And Calculations

Question 1

Climb Schedule

Answer 1

Describes the transition from flying at a constant CAS/IAS in climb to a constant Mach number to prevent MMO

Question 2

Pitch Angle

Answer 2

Aeroplanes longitudinal axis to the horizontal

Climb = AOA + FPA
Descent = FPA - AOA

Question 3

% gradient of climb formula

Answer 3

T-D x 100
————-
Weight

Question 4

Cost index

Answer 4

Higher = faster TAS above 1.32Vmd
Lower or 0 = 1.32VMD

Question 5

Changeover altitude

Answer 5

Altitude where CAS and designated Mach number coincide

Question 6

Pitch Angle + AOA in descent equals

Answer 6

Flight path angle

Question 7

FPA + AOA in climb =

Answer 7

Pitch Angle

Question 8

Changeover altitude if CAS increases

Answer 8

Changeover altitude decreases

Question 9

Climb schedule flying at a constant Mach

Answer 9

CL and AOA will increase
Pitch angle and flight path angle will decrease (roc decrease)
