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.
On a tapered wing, where would the stall occur first?
On a tapered wing, where would the stall occur first?
At the tip as downwash and spanwise flow effect the angle of attack at each section, but because of the tapered wing the effective angle of attack near the tips is greater than that near the center.
Does a jet have a critical engine? Why yes or no?
Does a jet have a critical engine? Why yes or no?
No, there is no P-factor (asymmetric blade effect) as on a propeller-driven aircraft.
You are flying in a straight line on an airway when your company calls and requests you to return to base, what will you do first?

Inform ATC.
If you are outside the range of any VOR’s/NDB's, how does the aircraft know where it is?
If you are outside the range of any VOR’s/NDB's, how does the aircraft know where it is?
Via INS/IRS/GPS
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
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
What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach?
What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach?
You will need to have a clearance, to be stable and visual.
What is the critical angle of attack?
What is the critical angle of attack?
The critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient.
This is also called the "stall angle of attack".
What is the angle of incidence?
What is the angle of incidence?
The angle between between the chord line and the aircraft's longitudinal axis. It's a fixed angle for wings, but variable for variable incidence tailplanes.
