General Flashcards
1
Q
What is Rec Max Alt and Optimum Alt?
A
REC MAX is max altitude that can be flown at current weight and temperature to provide a 0.3g margin against buffet
With CLB it provides min 300fpm
OPT based on current weight, CI, temp and winds. Most efficient cruise altitude
2
Q
What is ‘optimum speed’
A
Changes depending on flight phase. Most efficient speed for that manoeuvre
