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.

Describe the take off segments.

Describe the take off segments.

1st segment starts at screen height and finishes at gear retracted.

2nd segment starts when the gear is retracted and finishes when acceleration alt is reached (min. 400ft max 1000ft) speed V2.

3rd segment starts at acceleration alt, minimum 400ft, and finishes when the flaps are retracted.

4th segment starts when the flaps are retracted, MCT is set and finishes at the 1500ft.

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.

What is the purpose of a locator?

What is the purpose of a locator?

To notify the crew of the aircraft of a particular position on the IAP.

Locators have been largely replaced with Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), but they can sometimes be found associated with Outer or Middle Markers where they are referred to as Locator Outer Marker (LOM) or Locator Middle Marker (LMM).

Example answer for a candidate with previous Seneca experience:

Weights:

Max all up weight – take off 4570lbs Max all up weight – landing 4340lbs Empty weight - 2830lbs Usefull load - 1740lbs

Speeds:

Clean stall 66kts with flaps 60kts Vyse 89kts Cruise 140kts gear raising 107kts – lowering 129kts. Vne 195

The 6 cyclinder teledyne continental turbo- charged, fuel injected engines provide 200 hp at 2575.

Left engine rotated clockwise and right anti clockwise.

No critical engine, RayGay turbo’s 42” MAP, 40” limit at lower levels, cowl flaps provide cooling and has 3 positions, open mid and closed.

Avgas 100/130

Props 2 or 3 blade, constant speed, hydraulically actuated, fully feathering.

Oil keeps props at fine pitch, gas and air keep the rpm towards feather. Takes 6 seconds to feather and must happen before locks engage at 800 rpm.

Limit load factor 3.8G

Fuel 2 x 54 (64US) gallons tanks 8 quarts oil max 6 Min

Retractable gear – hydraulic pumps – electrically driven. 6-7 seconds transit

Nose gear has 27 degrees castor.

Main wheels 55psi, nose wheel 31psi

Cable operated controls, all moving stabilator with anti servo tab which acts as a trim.

Frise ailerons and differential ailerons, up more than down.

Manual flaps, 3 settings, 10, 25, 40 degrees.

4.5” – 5.2” hg suction – AH, DI.

Heated lift deflectors and stall warners, anti ice.

What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?

What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?

Assuming I'm performing single pilot operations:

  • power idle,

  • max brakes (and reversers if available),

-maintain directional control using rudder input,

  • After coming to a full stop set parking break.

  • Inform ATC 'Stopping'.

  • Initiate the appropriate process to diagnose the problem (ECAM, NITS DODAR, checklists....).

  • When performing multi pilot operations the actions performed by me will depend with my current role: PF, PM and/or CM1 CM2.

What is BEM?

What is BEM?

Basic Empty Mass (BEM) is the mass of the aircraft with the basic equipment, unconsumable fluids and unusable fuel and oil.

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 navigational instruments does the Boeing 737-800 have?

What navigational instruments does the Boeing 737-800 have?

IRS / GPS / VOR / DME

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.
