Groan - oh gawd here we go again......... the 'keep it private' and 'only for us professionals' argument.
Right then, so it's a quiz you want to sort the men from boy is it ?
Ok, pens at the ready you have 10 minutes to answer the following questions, and penalty marking applies…….
1). At what temperature in degrees Farenheight is the speed of sound 765 MPH ?
2). What is the tyre pressure of an aircraft wheel that aquaplanes at 114Kts ?
3). At 13:12, you're 300miles from land heading due east, with a groundspeed of 681Km/hr, at 10,670m AMSL. Assuming that you're heading directly at the coast at what time will your FMC start auto-tuning to a DME station located on a cliftop which rises 512' above the sea, and is there anything wrong with this picture ?
4). If, in the above, you'd been out of DME update range for 5 hours by how much would you expect your position to have drifted, in which direction, and what has caused it ?
5). In which JAR Ops manual set would you find the 'pavement loading' classifications ?
6). Define Vmcg & Vmca - what happens when they're coincident ?
7). What's the Performance 'A' engine failed screen height on a wet runway ?
8). Decode the following runway state group - 27459392 ?
9). What is commonly defined to be the fuel freeze-point of JetA1 ?
10). What important European airspace event will be on place by 24th Jan 2002 ?
So….. how'd do you think you did ?
Ps. I've gotta say that hell would be more like to freeze over, than Capt.PPRuNe decide to introduce restrictions w.r.t to the readership and / or contributor base of our (like it or not) glorioius site !
