Why will a jet usually not fly at 41.000 feet?

Why will a jet usually not fly at 41.000 feet?

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.

What is the range of a VOR at 32000ft?

What is the range of a VOR at 32000ft?

Range = 1.23(√H1 + √H2)

= 1.23 * √32000

= 220 nm

What is the speed of sound at sea level according to ISA?

What is the speed of sound at sea level according to ISA?

662 kts

Local speed of sound = 39 x √(Temperature in Kelvin)

15°C in Kelvin is (15 + 273) = 288

So the local speed of sound = 39 x √288 = 662 kts

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 are the lift qualities of a swept wing?

What are the lift qualities of a swept wing?

Poor, because the sweep-back design has the effect of reducing the lift capabilities of the wing.

What is radiation fog?

What is radiation fog?

Radiation fog forms on cloudless nights with only very light winds and high relative humidity when the cold ground cools the air above it to its dew point causing condensation (fog).

Usually occurs inland in valleys and low lying areas (as these areas tend to have more moisture) and usually occurs in a high pressure system.

What is a wing tip?

What is a wing tip?

A wing tip is the part of the wing that is the most distant from the fuselage of a fixed-wing aircraft.

How can you calculate the Operating Mass?

How can you calculate the Operating Mass?

OM = DOM + crew and fuel

What do the abbreviations TSRA and MIFG mean?

What do the abbreviations TSRA and MIFG mean?

TSRA: Thunderstorm with rain

  • MIFG: Shallow fog

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.
