If you take off on a two engine airplane with no engine failure and are below VMCA, will you have directional control?

If you take off on a two engine airplane with no engine failure and are below VMCA, will you have directional control?

Yes, some directional control as we still have two functioning engines.

Why is anhedral used instead on some aircraft?

Why is anhedral used instead on some aircraft?

Anhedral:

compensates for the wing sweep improves roll maneuverability

What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?

What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?

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.

How much thrust comes from the N1 fan?

How much thrust comes from the N1 fan?

Depends on the engine.

In the case of the 737-800 CFM56, 27,300lbs total thrust at a ratio of 5.5:1

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.

You need to uplift four tonnes of fuel, how many litres would you ask for if the SG is 0.8?

You need to uplift four tonnes of fuel, how many litres would you ask for if the SG is 0.8?

5000 litres

(4 tonnes / 0.8 = 5000 litters)

How does an IRS work?

How does an IRS work?

An IRS is an Inertial Reference System  which consists of accelerometers, gyroscopes (laser) and a position computer.

The computer calculates the aircrafts position by direction and velocity sensed by the accelerometers from the initial latitude and longitude input.

An IRS enables the aircraft to fly great circle tracks and to navigate accurately across vast expanses where no ground based navigation aids are available.

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.

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

  • If no IRS/INS/GPS was available, it’s easier to fly a constant heading (but you will need to apply variation).

  • If flying over short distances (as done during your training) the error introduced by flying a rhumb line is insi
