Rate Of Climb

Question 1

Power requires = power available is known as

Answer 1

Absolute ceiling

Question 2

Relationship between VX and Vy at the absolute ceiling

Answer 2

VX = VY

Question 3

Difference between absolute ceiling and service ceiling

Answer 3

Absolute = ROC is 0
Service ceiling = Jets 500fpm Props 100fpm

Question 4

Altitude on ROC

Answer 4

Rate of climb reduces and Vy increases as TAS increases

Power requires x TAS
——————————
Weight

Question 5

Engine failure ROC

Answer 5

Rate of climb is reduced and Vy is slower

Question 6

ROC formula

Answer 6

Excess Power (PA - PR)
——————————
Weight

Question 7

Max ROC speed

Answer 7

Vy - speed at which power available and power requires is greatest

Question 8

Vy vs Vmp vs VMD on jet

Answer 8

Vy is much faster than VMP
Vy is faster than VMD

Question 9

Vy vs VMD vs VMP on a propeller airplane

Answer 9

Vy is slightly higher than VMD in prop
Vy is much higher than Vx in a prop
AOA is around 4 degree in prop to coincide with Vmd

Question 10

VYSE

Answer 10

Speed for best rate of climb on single engine in propeller
- slower than Vy

Question 11

Accelerating or turning

Answer 11

AOC reduces which reduces ROC

Question 12

PRAT - mnemonic

Answer 12
