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.
If in a go-around, which take-off stages will still apply?
If in a go-around, which take-off stages will still apply?
None. The go around procedure is distinct from the take off procedure. You will still have an acceleration altitude, but you will not have a screen height, V1, Vr, V2, flap retraction altitude, etc.
What is BEM?
What is BEM?
Basic Empty Mass (BEM) is the mass of the aircraft with the basic equipment, unconsumable fluids and unusable fuel and oil.
What is ACA/H? What ACA/H did you use? Why do we have an ACA/H?
What is ACA/H? What ACA/H did you use? Why do we have an ACA/H?
Asymmetric Committal Altitude/Height is the minimum height needed to establish a positive climb whilst maintaining adequate speed for control and removal of drag during an approach to a landing.
In the Seneca at Oxford we used 200ft AGL. At this altitude when continuing for landing you selected the landing flaps (check clear runway, on speed, on altitude, landing clearance received).
You now are committed to land, single engine G/A with flaps 40 and gear down is not possible in a Seneca.
At what speed does Mach tuck occur?
At what speed does Mach tuck occur?
Mcrit
What is a Mach trimmer?
What is a Mach trimmer?
A Mach trimmer is a system that artificially corrects for Mach tuck.
Would you be happy if VMCG is higher than V1?
Would you be happy if VMCG is higher than V1?
No, because if your critical engine fails at V1 you have to continue your takeoff roll, but because you’re under VMCG you are unable to maintain directional control.
If you are at the locator, on glide-scope, on localiser, but your altimeter is reading 500ft high what could be the cause of this?
If you are at the locator, on glide-scope, on localiser, but your altimeter is reading 500ft high what could be the cause of this?
False glide slope.
