Flight Planning Flashcards
What is time fuel and distance to climb?
It refers to the amount of fuel consumed and the distance covered during the climb phase of flight.
What does holding fuel flow refer to?
It is the rate of fuel consumption while an aircraft is in a holding pattern.
What is meant by time to descend?
It indicates the duration taken to descend from cruising altitude to the destination airport.
What is a step climb?
A step climb is a procedure where an aircraft ascends to a higher altitude in increments, rather than a continuous climb.
What are cruise fuel flow and speed?
Cruise fuel flow is the rate of fuel consumption at cruising altitude, while cruise speed is the velocity maintained during this phase.
What does drift down mean?
Drift down refers to the uncontrolled descent of an aircraft after an engine failure, typically to a lower altitude where it can maintain flight with the remaining engine.
What is single engine cruise?
Single engine cruise is the flight phase where an aircraft operates on one engine after the other has failed or been shut down.
