When saturated air moves downhill, its temperature increases
at a faster rate than dry air because of the release of latent heat.
at a slower rate than dry air because vaporization uses heat.
at a slower rate than dry air because condensation releases heat.
at a slower rate than dry air because vaporization uses heat.
Constant Pressure Analysis Charts contain contours, isotherms, and some isotachs. The contours depict
ridges, lows, troughs and highs aloft
highs, lows, troughs and ridges on the surface
highs, lows, troughs, and ridges corrected to MSL
ridges, lows, troughs and highs aloft
CRM is
a dilution of the captains authority
the best method of accident avoidance and error prevention
one way to make good decisions.
one way to make good decisions.
It is important to combine the boundary layer control with flaps since
the flap deflection tends to reduce the angle of attach for maximum lift.
the flap deflection tends to disturb the smooth airflow over the airfoil.
the boundary layer controls are only effective at low power settings.
the flap deflection tends to reduce the angle of attach for maximum lift.
