No, has to be same category

Is tach or hobbs time used for 100 hour, what is that time?

Tach, counts wear of engine by measuring engine hours using RPM

Density Altitude formula?

PA+ (OAT-ISA)X120

What effects density altitude?

humidity, temp, elevation

Equation to calculate rotation speed?

takeoff weight/max to weight square root x 55

Why is manuvering speed calculated with landing weight and not takeoff weight?

Gives us the absolute highest speed for VA

What is weight?

The force of gravity on an object

Do you burn more or less fuel with an aft cg?

Less fuel

Does stall speed increase or decrease with higher weight?

Increase

Does high pressure want to go to low or low to high?

High to low

Newtons law and lift?

Air moves downward from the wing, opposite and equal reaction is an upwards force, producing lift

When airspeed increases, what happens to induced and parasitic drag?

Induced drag decreases and parasitic increases

Different types of parasitic drags?

Form, interference, skin friction,

What type of aircraft does the left turning tendency of precession mostly apply to?

Tailwheel aircraft
