Name the different aircraft categories, speeds and on which speed these categories are based.

Name the different aircraft categories, speeds and on which speed these categories are based.

Aircraft categories are based on Vat (in knots):

A <91

B 91-120

C 121-140

D 141-165

E 166 - 210

If you have a fire from the engine in the Warrior, what do you do?

If you have a fire from the engine in the Warrior, what do you do?

On the Warrior, I would perform the following items:

throttle closed mixture closed fuel selector off fuel pump off magnetos off (mayday + 7700 if time permits) and check if fire is out heater defrost off batt alt switches off top door latch unlatch seat belts erect secure and make a forced landing

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?

  • If no IRS/INS/GPS was available, it’s easier to fly a constant heading (but you will need to apply variation).

  • If flying over short distances (as done during your training) the error introduced by flying a rhumb line is insi

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.

Can VMCG be lower than V1? Explain.

Can VMCG be lower than V1? Explain.

Yes, VMCG has to be equal to or less than V1 to ensure the aircraft could maintain runway heading having suffered an engine failure at or above V1 when the aircraft is committed to takeoff.

You need to uplift four tonnes of fuel, how many litres would you ask for if the SG is 0.8?

You need to uplift four tonnes of fuel, how many litres would you ask for if the SG is 0.8?

5000 litres

(4 tonnes / 0.8 = 5000 litters)

What are TORA, TODA, ASDA clearways, stopways, and screen heights?

What are TORA, TODA, ASDA clearways, stopways, and screen heights?

TORA= Takeoff Run Available, the length of runway declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane taking off.

TODA= Takeoff Distance Available, the length of the take off run available (TORA) plus the length of the clearway, if available.

ASDA= Accelerated Stop Distance Available, the length of the takeoff run plus the length of the stopway, if available.

A clearway is an area beyond the paved runway, free of obstructions and under the control of the airport authorities. The length of the clearway may be included in the length of the takeoff distance available (Take Off Distance Available (TODA)). For example, if a paved runway is 2000 m long and there are 400 m of clearway beyond the end of the runway, the takeoff distance available is 2400 m long.

The stopway is an area beyond the runway which can be used for deceleration in the event of a rejected takeoff.

Screen height: TODR is the distance from the brake release point to the point where the aircraft gains a height of 35 ft above the ground. This 35 ft is what we call the screen height. While 35 ft is the screen height for class A airplanes, it is 50 ft for class B airplanes.

On a wet runway, the screen height is reduced to 15 ft.

What is a Mach trimmer?

What is a Mach trimmer?

A Mach trimmer is a system that artificially corrects for Mach tuck.

What is an NDB?

What is an NDB?

Non Directional Beacon, a medium range radio navigation aid that sends out a signal in all directions for an aircraft to home to.

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).
