What is RVSM?

What is RVSM?

Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) is the reduction, from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet, of the standard vertical separation required between aircraft flying between flight level 290 (29,000 ft) and flight level 410 (41,000 ft).

What is the average temperature at 25,000ft according to ISA?

What is the average temperature at 25,000ft according to ISA?

-35°C

Why does a wing stall?

Why does a wing stall?

A wing stalls because the airflow over the wing’s upper surface separates when the critical angle of attack is reached or exceeded. This causes a reduction in the lift generated by the aerofoil

Do single engined planes have a VMCG?

Do single engined planes have a VMCG?

No, VMCG is defined as the minimum control speed on the ground, with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine airplanes), takeoff power on other engine(s), using aerodynamic controls only for directional control and thus only applicable to ME aircraft.

What is the maximum operating ceiling of a typical jet?

What is the maximum operating ceiling of a typical jet?

41.000ft

Why do some airplanes have dihedral wings?

Why do some airplanes have dihedral wings?

Dihedral provides:

Lateral stability (during a roll) Wing clearance, wingtip to ground has more space

Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?

Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?

The speed is too low for an indication.

What is CRM?

What is CRM?

Crew Resource Management (CRM) is the effective use of all available resources for flight crew personnel to assure a safe and efficient operation, reducing error, avoiding stress and increasing efficiency.

Can you explain to me what Mach tuck is?

Can you explain to me what Mach tuck is?

Mach tuck is a nose-down pitching moment experienced as an aircraft passes Mcrit.

Mach tuck is a form of longitudinal instability that is caused by the centre of pressures rearward movement (caused by the shock wave) behind the centre of gravity.
