ASDA and what does it include

Accelerate Stop Distance Available

- includes Take off Run Available (TORA) plus any stopway

Great Circle line on Lamberts Chart curved or straight

Straight lines

IAS on climb

TAS and Mach increase

-CTM+

To nominate an aerodrome as an alternate with a non-precision approach procedure; state weather requirements

For ETA @ Alternate..

Ceiling of 800ft or 200ft above MDA, whichever is higher

Visibility of 4000m or 1500m above minimum whichever is higher

IAS on descent

TAS and MACH decrease

+CTM-

Temperature from FL360 upwards

-56.5 degrees

How to prevent Dutch Roll

Yaw Damper that uses gyro to apply rudder direction in the oppose to the yaw

TOD with increase in weight

Moves further away from the destination to reduce the angle of descent

Aft C of G effect on range

A aft C of G increase range as downward force on the tailplane with in turn create lift meaning less drag

How many satellites required for RAIM

with and without FDE

5 RAIM without

6 RAIM with FDE

When is RAIM calculated

at 1400 UTC daily and last for 72 hrs

V1 definition

Decision speed - where is is either possible to reject the take off with sufficient runway/stopway or continue the take off wiht sufficient runway/clearway

V2 definition

Take off safety speed - initial target speed

Vmca definition

Minimum airspeed at which with a sudden and complete failure of the critical engine it is possible to maintain straight and level flight

CAVOK

- Visibility is greater than 10km

- No significant cloud below 500ft or below the MSA - whichever is higher

Centerline lighting alternating red and white at what distance from runway end

- 3000ft remaining

- solid red with 1000ft remaining

Hydroplaning speed

9 x square root of tyre pressure

100psi pressure

9 x 10 = 90 knots

ETP with tailwind or headwind

- ETP closer to departure with tailwind

- ETP closer to destination with headwind

Dihedral wing and stability

aids in lateral stability (about the longitudinal axis)

Static vent blocked on climb - altimeter what?

remains at the height the blockage occurred

ISA definition

Pressure = 1013.25 hpa

Temperature = 15 degrees celcius

Density = 1.225 kg/m3

Gravity 9.82 m/s2

Temperature lapse rate

- 1.98 per 1000ft clear air

- 3 degrees in cloud

Icing worse at what level

between 0 degrees and -10 degrees

Definition second segment take off

- from gear retraction to level accelerate altitude (minimum 400ft AGL)

-speed is V2

- gross climb gradient at least 2.4%

What happens to boundary layer when airflow goes from laminar to turbulent

it thickens and produces more drag

Why have an all moving tailplane

allows an large range of C of G

Roll to the right what aileron extends

right extends and left goes down

Definition of Part 121

Air transport operations with passenger seating configuration of more than 30 seats (excluding crew members)

ETA time requirements

within 2 minutes

Descend below MDA on circling approach

when cloud base and visibility permit and the approach and landing can be made using normal manoeuvres

ATC speed control accuracy

within 10 knots

GPS reposition memory

position of satellites calculated from almanac data

Why does and aircraft have bonding

to

Va

design manoeuvring speed - the maximum speed at which application of full flight controls can be used without causing damage

Stall speed aft or forward C of G

Forward increases stall speed

Aft decreases stall speed

Hydroplaning

When the tyre is lifted off the ground due a build up of fluid pressure beneath the tyre

Ram effect on an engine

as the aircraft increases speed the mass flow through the engine increases and results in an increase in thrust

Compressor stall

reverse flow of air through the turbine cause by unstable air

ATC separation

C - IFR from IFR, VFR and SVFR

D - IFR from IFR and VFR (at night only)

E - IFR from IFR and VFR (at night only)

ETP formula

D x H

O + H

D = distance

PNR formula

E x H

O + H

E = endurance

Five main modes of EGPWS

Excessive descent rate

Excessive closure to terrain

Altitude loss after take off

Unsafe terrain clearance (gear/flap)

Deviation from Glideslope

Advisory callouts

Enhanced GPWS

Compares the aircrafts position to an internal database and provides additional alerting and display through look ahead algorithms

To nominate an aerodrome as an alternate with a precision approach, state weather requirements

For ETA @ alternate

Ceiling of 600ft or 200ft above DA/DH whichever is higher
