Question 13

How to calculate runway slope

Answer 13

(Difference in height / runway length) * 100

Question 14

Vx

Answer 14

best angle of climb speed (greated altitude is shortest horizontal distance)

Question 15

Vy

Answer 15

best rate of climb speed (greatest altitude in shortest time)

Question 16

Wind affects gliding endurance?

Answer 16

No, affects only flight path over the groud

Question 17

How to calculate ground distance over a climb?

Answer 17

NAM / TAS * GS
NAM = Nautical air miles (the distance flown)
