What does a bypass ratio of 11:1 mean?

What does a bypass ratio of 11:1 mean?

For every 1kg of air passing through the combustion chamber, 11kg of air pass bypass the combustion chamber.

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

Being an excellent pilot, if I can fly at VMCA, do I need a V2 speed?

Being an excellent pilot, if I can fly at VMCA, do I need a V2 speed?

Yes, for safety you will need a V2 speed.

How does an altimeter work and which errors can an altimeter experience?

How does an altimeter work and which errors can an altimeter experience?

When an aircraft climbs, the static pressure in the instrument case decreases, which allows the enclosed capsule to expand.

This in turn moves the needle on the instrument to indicate a corresponding altitude.

During descent, the opposite function applies.

Altimeter errors can originate and vary from:

Instrument Pressure Time-lag Barometric Density Temperature Blocked static port

What pressure does a pitot tube measure?

What pressure does a pitot tube measure?

The total pressure (static and dynamic pressure).

What does a Mach trimmer do?

What does a Mach trimmer do?

A Mach trimmer automatically compensates for Mach tuck above Mcrit.

What do high lift devices do?

What do high lift devices do?

High lift devices increase the lift produced by a wing, allowing the aircraft to operate at lower speed ranges usually for take off and landing.

Tell me about the last aircraft you flew in.

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.

How much thrust comes from the N1 fan?

How much thrust comes from the N1 fan?

Depends on the engine.

In the case of the 737-800 CFM56, 27,300lbs total thrust at a ratio of 5.5:1
