What is DOM?
What is DOM?
The Dry Operating Mass (DOM) is the Basic Empty Mass and the Variable Load, also called the Aircraft Prepared for Service (APS) weight.
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
Is carb heat an electrical system?
Is carb heat an electrical system?
No. Carburetor heat uses exhaust air to heat air going into the carburetor. No electrics are involved.
Why don’t you use carburetor heat on the ground for long periods?
Why don’t you use carburetor heat on the ground for long periods?
Battery power to the starter motors.
What is DA?
What is DA?
Decision altitude (precision), the altitude at which a decision must be made during an ILS, MLS, or PAR instrument approach to either continue the approach or to execute a missed approach.
What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?
What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?
Angle of attack is the angle between the chord of the aerofoil and the relative airflow.
Angle of incidence is the angle between the chord and the aircrafts longitudinal datum.
Can a helicopter rotor blade stall?
Can a helicopter rotor blade stall?
Yes
Where is thrust produced in a gas turbine engine?
Where is thrust produced in a gas turbine engine?
Mostly in the fan, but also from the exhaust nozzle duct.
How does a jet engine/gas turbine work?
How does a jet engine/gas turbine work?
Forward motion forces air into the intake which is a convergent duct where it is compressed (causing a temperature rise).
Fuel is added and combustion takes place increasing the volume. The expanding gasses accelerate to the atmosphere through the exhaust duct nozzle producing a propulsive jet.
What effect does a wet runway have on V1?
What effect does a wet runway have on V1?
V1 is lower when the runway is wet than when the runway is dry, because of the longer ASDR on a wet runway.
