Aircraft Data Flashcards

[therocketscientist]

For ADI apart from the 4 letter designator and the (UK) wake category I personally wouldn't bother with anything else at this point in time.

I’ve stuck to the same ~50 aircraft as the NATS pack. I think that should be a decent start and isn’t bad information to know regardless of my eventual rating.

Enjoying how the rest of the discussion has turned out in this thread. I’m hoping for an area rating at CTC (I was told I was too tall to go to Gloucester) but I know it could go either way.

How tall are you?
As far as I’m aware the doors are all standard sized.
And the sim suite even has a hangar door entrance on one side.

6’ 2” which apparently is the cut off. Is this sim itself a bit cramped?

I heard it had something to do with the height of the desks...

In any case, I don’t think there’s any course lined up at Global for the foreseeable future is there, so your height probably didn’t affect where you were sent? All I’ve heard is Jan CTC, Feb Jerez, Apr CTC.

Haha must be a nats thing then, I’m 6” and there are certainly students and instructors taller than me there. How bizarre.

Performance

there is NO substitute for KNOWING aircraft performance data. Use the eurocontrol stuff.
