Is the landing gear in the Seneca electrically or hydraulically operated?
Is the landing gear in the Seneca electrically or hydraulically operated?
We are missing the answer.
Why do we calculate mass and balance?
Why do we calculate mass and balance?
To be within aircraft design limitations with regards to:
Structural limitations
Stability
Take-off and landing performance
How does a stall strip work?
How does a stall strip work?
A stall strip, usually located close to the wing root, causes the airflow to separate at a lower angle of attack and ensures that the wing root stalls before the wing tips.
What is anhedral?
What is anhedral?
anhedral is the downward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.
What do you know about carb icing? Would you experience it today?
What do you know about carb icing? Would you experience it today?
Carb icing can occur in the engine induction system and in the carburettor of piston engines.
Regarding the second question, mention the conditions in which carb icing can occur and if it would be possible on that particular day.
Conditions for carb icing: when OAT is between -10 & +30, with high humidity (greater than 40%) and/or visible moisture.
What is the mean chord line?
What is the mean chord line?
It's the wing area divided by the wing span.
What is lift?
What is lift?
Lift is the component of the total aerodynamic force perpendicular to the relative airflow.
Lift is generated when a streamlined body, such as an aerofoil, is placed in a flow of air.
What sort of weather would you find at an occluded front?
What sort of weather would you find at an occluded front?
Low pressure weather, unstable weather.
What is Vs?
What is Vs?
Stall speed is defined as the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.
What are the advantages of an all moving/variable incidence tailplane?
What are the advantages of an all moving/variable incidence tailplane?
This provides pitch manoeuvrability.
Longitudinal balancing by the trim system.
