CFM56-7 series with a max takeoff thrust of 27,300lb.

These engines have higher thrust, improved efficiency, and lower maintenance costs than its predecessor, the CFM56-3 series.

Bypass ratio 5.5:1

What is an MCP and what is an FMA?

What is an MCP and what is an FMA?

The mode control panel is used to select the autothrottle, autopilot, and flight director operating modes. The flight mode annunciator displays current flight modes.

What is the washout on a wing?

What is the washout on a wing?

A wing design feature where the angle of incidence of the wing decreases from the root to the tip.

This makes it so that the wing as a tendency to stall at the root first, maintaining aileron control for a longer time and providing a resistence to spinning, facilitating recovery.

How do you get out of a spiral dive on a Cessna?

How do you get out of a spiral dive on a Cessna?

  1. Unload. Make sure you are no longer 'pulling G's'

  2. Roll wings level

  3. Power Reduce the power to avoid overspeeding.

  4. gently pull back on the control wheel to ease out of the dive.

When slowed down to a safe airspeed apply throttle as needed.

(N.b.: Do not confuse a spiral dive with a spin)

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 are the benefits of a free turbine?

What are the benefits of a free turbine?

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
