Erin and Royd Debrief Flashcards
In comparison to a balanced field, what effect does adding a clear way have? (Take-off weight, V1)
In comparison to a balanced field length, what affect does adding a stopway to ASDA have? (Take-off weight and V1)
Increase T/O weight
Increased V1
Symptoms of compressor surge?
Banging Noise
Vibration
Decrease Thrust
Increased EGT
Flame
Need to notify ATC when ETA is more than ___ minutes out?
2
Two aircraft with different altimeter settings (1013 vs 1023) what is vertical separation?
What sources of information does an airspeed indicator need?
Pitot pressure and static pressure
Situations in which TCAS wouldn’t issue RA?
When one aircraft is not transmitting altitude data, not in mode C or S.
Aircraft is nose-heavy, what would need to happen to angle of incidence of the tail plane to reduce this?
AoI needs to reduce
What does wing dihedral do?
Increase lateral stability
What is the point in winglets?
Reduce induced drag by decreasing wing tip vorticies
Calculate density altitude
Com failure in IMC?
Refer Pink Pages
On descent using 6% profile, 140 kts ground speed, what is the ROD required?
140 x 6 x 1.013
850
Flap effect on take-off weight vs climb weight?
Increase take-off weight, decrease climb weight
Effect of headwind on best range speed, best angle of climb speed?
Increase best range speed
Constant Vx
What type of cloud would most likely be associated with sever icing?
Cumulus
Altimeter of aircraft on ground as cold front passes through?
It would climb steadily, as front approached then descend quickly as front passed overhead
Controllability at VMCA.
a. Uncontrolable below VMCA
b. Can’t keep aircraft straight below this speed if the critical engine fails? Max AoB 5 degrees.
VMCA is the lowest speed at which directional control can be maintained with no more than 5 degrees AoB towards the live engine. Rudder would be fully deflected.
Cabin pressure reaches max difference. What happens if aircraft climbs?
Cabin pressure would climb
When are inboard ailerons used?
High speed flight
Effect of forward CoG?
Reduced RoC
Crosswind and headwind component questions (RWY and wind given)?
Static port blocked in climb. What happens to altimeter? (Under read vs over read)?
Under read
When can you descend below circling minima?
When you can touch down in the touch down using normal rates of descent and maneuvers. Must be able to maintain continuous visual reference to any of the required references
Hold to expect on a high level airway (direction and time)
Right hand, for 1.5 minutes outbound
In cruise, weight decreases, what happens to speed range and drift down alt?
Speed range increased
Drift down altitude increases
What datum are used on METAR
Above aerodrome level, true
ISA -18. Does your altimeter over read or under read?
Over read
You’re downwind on a circling approach and accidently go back into cloud. What do you do?
a. Climb downwind to the aid and to the missed approach for the active/approach runway?
b. Make a climbing turn towards the field and fly the missed approach for the active/approach runway?
Climb turn towards the runway. Intercept the missed approach for the approach you have just flown.
Inbound hold axis of 270 degrees. You are flying 180 degrees, what entry?
Parallel if right hand. Direct if left hand.
Surface temp is +10 degrees. Dew point is +5 degrees. What height does the cloud form?
DALR 3/1000ft
5 degrees to reduce, (5 / 3) = 1.66
1600ft
What is MDA?
A specified altitude referenced to AMSL on a non-precision aproach, below which descent may not be made without visual
You reach FL190 in 22 minutes. Still air distance is 66nm. You have a 35 kt headwind. What is the new distance to top of climb?
22 mins for 66 nm = 3 nm/min = 180kts G/S still air.
180-35 kts = Groundspeed 145 kts = 2.45 nm/min
22 mins at 2.45 nm/min = 54 nm
Definition of a TREND
A forecast, valid for two hours attached to the end of a METAR or SPECI, or AUTO METAR. States and significant changes from those prescribed. If valid, it supersedes the TAF.
Planned groundspeed of 240kts. Trip is 480 nm. Depart at 1000 hrs. After 150 nm you’re 2 minutes late. What’s your new ETA with the revised ground speed?
150 nm is about 1/4 of the trip.
you will be a total of 8 minutes late.
New ETA 1206:24
ILS deviation, what is full scale?
0.7 degrees on ground speed
or
2.5 on localizer
What separation are you responsible for in Class D airspace?
ATC = IFR - IFR
IFR - SVFR
SVFR - SVFR ( <5km vis)
You = IFR - VFR
VFR - VFR
SVFR - SVFR (vis <5km )
FL270 descending FL160, 800 fpm. Ground speed 256 kts. What is TOD to be level 6 nm before the VOR?
27000-16000 = 11000
@800fpm
=13.75 mins for descent
traveling at 256kts = 4.2nm/min
=58nm + 6
65nm TOD
