En Route Performance Flashcards
1
Q
What can be achieved at maximum excess power?
A
Best rate of climb
2
Q
What is typically 5-10kt less than best rate of climb?
A
Max angle/gradient of climb
3
Q
How is best rate of climb achieved?
A
With maximum excess power
4
Q
Maximum endurance speed occurs at what kind of TAS?
A
Where power is minimum
5
Q
How does headwind affect best-range speed?
A
Best-range airspeed will increase (from nil wind conditions)
6
Q
Why does wind not affect endurance speed?
A
Distance is not the important factor (time is)
7
Q
Wind affects what kind of efficient speed?
A
Best-range
8
Q
The maximum L/D ratio is equivalent to what?
A
Best rate of climb
