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.

180 minutes extended range (ETOPS).

Bypass ratio 5.5:1

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

Swept wings are:

Better for high speed flight as they have minimal camber and thickness reduce drag and delay Mcrit More stable in turbulence as they produce less lift and as a result they are less responsive to updraughts

Minimum Safe Altitude.

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.

36,090ft in ISA

Fuel injection provides:

• Fuel free from vaporization ice

• Better economy through metered delivery

• More responsive and efficient engine

• Less maintenance

Mach number describes the speed of sound, which changes with the density of the medium it is travelling through.

When you reach the speed of sound, the compressibility effect creates a supersonic flow along the wing if you exceed a certain mach number.

This causes airflow separation and flutter.

It is therefore much safer and much easier to use a Mach number to express a limit at which compressibility effects start to tear the aircraft apart, as it is a constant value at all altitudes.

You can go through a DA, but not a MDA.

A Decision Height, used in precision approaches, defines the point where a go around should be performed. It accounts for the altitude loss during the initial seconds of the go around maneuver.

The MDA does not account for this and assumes the pilot will never go below this altitude. When performing a CDFA most operators establish a Derived Decision altitude (DDA) to account for the extra lost altitude.

TAS will increase.
