What is an FMA used for?

Bright yellow lights will light up in the cockpit.

Why does a swept wing increase Mcrit?

Why does a swept wing increase Mcrit?

A swept wing makes the velocity vector normal to the leading edge a shorter distance than the chordwise resultant.

CFM56-7 series with a max takeoff thrust of 27,300lb.

These engines have higher thrust, improved efficiency, and lower maintenance costs than its predecessor, the CFM56-3 series.

180 minutes extended range (ETOPS).

What is a Great Circle?

What is a Great Circle?

A line of shortest distance between two points on a sphere.

While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?

While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?

Carb icing can occur with temperatures as high 30°C and humidity as low as 50%, but it is more likely when below 20°C and high humidity, especially during low power settings.

What is the speed of sound at sea level according to ISA?

What is the speed of sound at sea level according to ISA?

662 kts

Local speed of sound = 39 x √(Temperature in Kelvin)

15°C in Kelvin is (15 + 273) = 288

So the local speed of sound = 39 x √288 = 662 kts

What is dihedral?

What is dihedral?

Dihedral is the upward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.

What are the components that make up a fuel plan for a minimum-fuel trip?

What are the components that make up a fuel plan for a minimum-fuel trip?

Taxi, trip, contingency, reserve and extra fuel.

What is an anti-servo tab?

What is an anti-servo tab?

An anti-servo tab works in the opposite way to a servo tab.

It deploys in the same direction as the control surface, making the movement of the control surface more difficult and requires more force applied to the controls by the pilot.
