Hello all,
Another quick performance question.
An aeroplane is in a power off glide at best gliding speed. If the pilot increases the pitch attitude the glide distance:
a) remains the same
b) may increase or decrease depending on the aeroplane
c) decreases <---answer
d) increases
Explanation please :ok: - I thought that the if the pilot increased the pitch, the glide distance would increase. :hmm:
Which of the following set of factors could lead to a V2 value which is limited by VMCA?
a) low take off mass, low flap setting and low field elevation
b) high take off mass, high flap setting, low field elevation
c) high take off mass, low flap setting, high field elevation
d) low take off mass, high flap setting and low field elevation <--answer
Explanation please :ok:
Thanks, I owe someone a pint :ok:
