If you where picking up 10.000 litres of fuel in Newfoundland (cold weather), and 10.000 litres of fuel in Lima, Peru (hot weather), where would you have picked up the most fuel?

If you where picking up 10.000 litres of fuel in Newfoundland (cold weather), and 10.000 litres of fuel in Lima, Peru (hot weather), where would you have picked up the most fuel?

In Newfoundland. With cold weather density increases, therefore you would pick up a higher mass in Newfoundland.

What is a Mach trimmer?

What is a Mach trimmer?

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

During what phase of flight is lift the greatest?

During what phase of flight is lift the greatest?

For a commerical aeroplane: During take off. At this point the aircraft has it it's maximum weight, and accelerating in the vertical plane requiring the highest ammount of lift to counteract the weight.

Why is anhedral used instead on some aircraft?

Why is anhedral used instead on some aircraft?

Anhedral:

compensates for the wing sweep improves roll maneuverability

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.

While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?

While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?

Carb icing can occur with temperatures as high 30°C and humidity as low as 50%, but it is more likely when below 20°C and high humidity, especially during low power settings.

Approach category speeds are defined by which formula?

Approach category speeds are defined by which formula?

This speed is defined to be equal to the greater of stall speed (Vso) multiplied by 1.3, or stall speed (Vs1g) multiplied by 1.23.

The landing configuration that is to be taken into consideration can be defined by either the operator or by the aeroplane manufacturer but is most commonly assigned by the manufacturer.

What are the benefits of a free turbine?

What are the benefits of a free turbine?

A free turbine is a turbine that is not directly connected to the compressor. This allows the compressor to rotate at a different speed than the turbine. Since the turbine speed is coupled with the propeller, this allows for the propeller to be maintained at a constant ideal speed.

Another advantage is that free turbine engines can be designed to be more compact than their single shaft counterparts
