Q

Why do flight level separations increase to 2000ft above FL290 in non RVSM

A

Due to altimeter errors as the air is less dense

A

2000

21
Q

Typical IFR position report

A

ID
Position and time

Next position and estimate

22
Q

How to give way

A

Turn right and pass behind

23
Q

How is CAT II or III holding point shown

A

Set back from normal holding point, 2 parallel lines with ladder marking between

24
Q

How to fly approach if windshear suspected

A

Higher than normal approach speed to compensate for loss of energy

25
Q

Two types of de icing fluid

A

Type 1 = unthickened, high glycol content. Limited freezing protection

Type 2 = thickened, minimum glycol 50%, good protection too

26
Q

Performance effects of wing contamination

A

-reduced stalling AOA
-increased stalling speed
-reduced maximum lift capability
-reduced lift at a given AOA, especially higher angles

27
Q

Time of useful consciousness with hypoxia

A

20,000ft = 30min+
30,000ft = 1-2 min
35,000ft = 30 - 60sec
40,000ft = 15-30sec

28
