The Dry Operating Mass (DOM) is the Basic Empty Mass and the Variable Load, also called the Aircraft Prepared for Service (APS) weight.

Hypoxia, a lack of oxygen to tissues of the body due to low partial pressure at altitude.

Symptoms are: blue lips, apparent personality change, impaired judgement, muscular impairment, short term memory loss, sensory loss, hyperventilation, unconsciousness.

Other possible effects:

• Baurotrauma

• Lung damage

Altimeter errors:

Instrument error Pressure error Time-lag error Barometric error

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.

Dihedral is the upward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.

1.98°C per 1000ft

A free turbine is a turbine that is not directly connected to the compressor. This allows the compressor to rotate at a different speed than the turbine. Since the turbine speed is coupled with the propeller, this allows for the propeller to be maintained at a constant ideal speed.

Another advantage is that free turbine engines can be designed to be more compact than their single shaft counterparts

Yes, the closer the C.G. is to the rear limit, the less tail down force is required, which means less drag which results in less fuel burn.

Angle of attack is the angle between the chord of the aerofoil and the relative airflow.

Angle of incidence is the angle between the chord and the aircrafts longitudinal datum.
