Does the N1 compressor produce thrust?
Does the N1 compressor produce thrust?
Yes, with the modern high bypass turbofans the N1 compressor works as a huge propeller, it takes a big mass of air and gives it a relative small acceleration.
Around 70% of the air will bypass the core of the engine, only 30% of air will be compressed further and will eventually go through the combustion chamber.

With the IRS/INS/GPS or visually.
Why do you need contingency fuel?
Why do you need contingency fuel?
Contingency fuel is carried to account for additional enroute fuel consumption caused by wind, routing changes or ATM: ATM/CNS restrictions.
What is profile drag?
What is profile drag?
Profile drag, also known as pressure drag or form drag, is the drag caused by the separation of the boundary layer from a surface and the wake created by that separation.
It is primarily dependent upon the shape of the object and increases directly with speed as the faster an aircraft moves the more air molecules collide with it.
What do you prefer, a high or low wingload?
What do you prefer, a high or low wingload?
The assessor was trying to get to the approach where you need flaps and slats to increase S (lower wingload) in order to be able to fly a lower speed.

How does anti-skid work?
How does anti-skid work?
Antiskid has a detection system that senses the moment a wheel stops rotating.
Once it senses that the wheel is not rotating, the antiskid system releases brake pressure. This allows the wheel to regain traction with the surface, so that break application can be resumed and prevents complete loss of controllability.
What are fusible plugs, where are they used, how do they work, why do we have them?
What are fusible plugs, where are they used, how do they work, why do we have them?
Fusible plugs offer protection from tire blowouts caused by thermal expansion that is generated in the tire under extra hard braking conditions.
