Climbing

Question 1

What is the equation for climb gradient using thrust?

Answer 1

Climb gradient = (T-D/W) x 100

Question 2

Whats the equation for climb gradient using vertical change?

Answer 2

Climb gradient = (vertical change / horizontal change) x100

Question 3

Whats the equation for the still air gradient?

Answer 3

SAG = ROC/TAS x 6000/6080

Question 4

Whats the equation for wind adjusted gradient using rate of climb?

Answer 4

WAG = ROC/GS x 6000/6080

Question 5

Whats the equation for wind adjusted gradient using the still air gradient?

Answer 5

WAG = SAG x TAS/GS

Question 6

Whats the equation for climb gradient using climb angle?

Answer 6

Sin gamma x 100

Question 7

What is Vx?

Answer 7

Speed for the best angle of climb.

Question 8

What is Vy?

Answer 8

Speed for the best rate of climb.

Question 9

Does wind have an effect on Vx?

Answer 9

No

Question 10

Does wind affect climb angle?

Answer 10

No.

Question 11

After an engine failure, excess thrust reduces by less/greater than 50%.

Answer 11

Greater then.
