Aircraft alttitudes –similar to those in Per A (aircraft banking, climbing or descending at particular. This is one of the trickiest parts, study the different aeroplane avionics and the role that they play, e.g barometer, pitot tube, speed and one compass direction, altitude



The trickiest ni banking, read and have an understanding on how planes bank, angle of banking direction in relation to the bank and also Google how the different avionics can be combined in a picture to achieve desired direction, altitude and speed.


You will be told to interpret how those readings would appear on the instruments if a plane is moving in a certain direction, at certain speed and height.

Also read how to calculate the speed of objects moving towards or away from each other (relative speed). U will be given two planes with different speeds and u are told to determine after how long they will meet.

I wish you all the best people!!! May God heartily bless you and i wish you success. For those who will pass through stage 1, I will be there to help you with the second stage as well.

Financial Prostitution

I hope the kind of financial pornography going on here will not affect the integrity of the interview.

Look out tomorrow for that lad/lass who will trot with an envelope laden with a distinct smell of money.

Embrace the lad/lass who will be prowling with a bracelet of passion for the job.

[kasa]
