What is the difference between a supercharger and a turbocharger?
What is the difference between a supercharger and a turbocharger?
A turbo charger is externally driven by exhaust back pressure turning a turbine which in turn drives a compressor in the induction manifold to increase the air pressure (constant volume, higher pressure) and is controlled by waste gate.
A supercharger is internally driven by the propellor shaft to compress mixture and is controlled by RPM.

Because of the distance which has to be covered to reach 41.000 feet which may not be convenient for a short flight.
On long flights it is more typical to fly at 41.000 feet when the aircraft weight and performance allows.

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 the relevance of the mass and balance document?
What is the relevance of the mass and balance document?
It’s an official document for the safety of the flight.
A copy of this document needs to remain on the ground.
Why is a great circle the shortest distance between two points?

Approach category speeds are defined by which formula?
Approach category speeds are defined by which formula?
This speed is defined to be equal to the greater of stall speed (Vso) multiplied by 1.3, or stall speed (Vs1g) multiplied by 1.23.
The landing configuration that is to be taken into consideration can be defined by either the operator or by the aeroplane manufacturer but is most commonly assigned by the manufacturer.
