Not sure about Vra but VB is only good for washing your feet

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
 

They aren't all technical questions...

And you repeat yourself!

Here's a hint: jets with cold-soaked wings get de/anti-iced prior take-off.

Grab the popcorn, sit back and enjoy...this thread could be fun :E

Can't any of you clowns be serious? :ugh:

2. Unstable approach = go around and try again! ;)

I thought it was: "Look ahead and crash visually."

Jack says we have to be serious, so here goes:

Flare, but only a little bit. Slow down, taxi, park. Submit the paperwork. Update the CV. Get a job with Cathay.
(Some pilots prefer to slow down before landing, to avoid the Cathay scenario. But hey, each to their own.)

Do whatever you like. In a turboprop you'll be descending quite soon, regardless of the decision.

I don't know how my UNS-1 calculates it. But in my last job, I knew how my Garmin did it. It was with GS and distance to each place.

Cold or low, look out below. (That's cold temp and low pressure, btw.) That's why Canadian and Antarctic aircraft have skis on the bottom - in cold weather, they sometimes fly so low, they bounce off hill tops. Skis make for soft bounces.

I'd better leave some unanswered for all youse blokes, so you don't feel left out an' all. :ok:

They'll see that you're a bit of a peanut. But the fact you asked for 'Code and Clearance' gave that away aaaaggggeesss ago.

It won't be affected at all, it wasn't working in the first place. Leave it in standby and go back to your sudoku.

Not a formula, but hope this helps...

Go back to America! Don't feed the Troll!!

Depends which way you are going, and what you reset it to... What ATC will see when you DO reset it is your new indicated altitude. If their binos work that far.

Come on guys. The troll is click-baiting for professionals!

What one puts into a Kollsman window has no effect on SSR displays. Transponders transmit pressure altitude and ATC computers apply a QNH correction.

For extra excitement, fly on 1013 at all times and level out at a mentally-calculated pressure-corrected altitude when below transition. See if anyone notices.

The answer may depend on aircraft type and type of operation, but for typical general aviation planes, how about turning around. After all, you said begin to enter freezing rain. So it has been perhaps 30 seconds, plus a minute to turn around plus another 30 seconds to exit. If you want to climb, do it at the same time. Once out of the freezing rain you can continue to climb if the goal was to get above the freezing level and then turn back and penetrate the precipitation again.


Frost forms by sublimation, not by precip falling. Typically, the sky is clear when it forms.

Carefully considered professional answers from a mostly professional pilot:

Vra is clearly the vertical speed of the rain; typically about 8kias depending on droplet size. Vb is the speed at which the pilot is proceeding; typically about 100k less than current speed of the aircraft.

Undertake conversion to a faster aircraft.

In the event of unexpected FZRA, company SOPs will require you to contact the Dispatch Office and the Duty Engineer, who will evaluate your manhood. A note will be made against your permanent record.

Best way to detect thunderstorms while in cloud is to rest your fingertips against the cockpit side windows and carefully feel for the turbulence. If the left wing experiences greater G forces, turn left; or vice versa.

Jetstreams are wide but not very high. Bank to 90 degrees and the two wingtips will be clear of turbulence, thus ensuring a smooth ride. Also, you'll be too busy to worry about things you can't change, like temperature.

Always bank left in the south and right in the north. Because of Coriolis and stuff.

Also, I always thought Vb was the rate of progression of beverages towards the flight deck? It's inversely proportional to the proximity to ToD. Often confused with Vdt, the rate at which the captain opens the Daily Telegraph after ToC.

See? I knew I got the popcorn out for a reason... :ok:

Wrong! Call yourself a professional?! Shame on you. It's the Prantle-Meyer effect. :=

Bloggs,
Even after (not if) he (it must be a he, no woman would be that dopy) looses control, having flown into the freezing rain, and is now pointing straight down, he will have to really try very hard to have a Prantle-Meyer fan come into the equation.
Mind you, there is that other well known fan that something hits under such circumstances.
Tootle pip!!

VRa is the speed you fly after a tcas incident. Vb is what you drink on free drink vouchers at the hotel discussing how you saved the day.

The correct technique is to reverse the props in flight. It will reduce your speed quickly and allow for a shorter landing roll.

You increase your Mach number to raise your TAT. This mitigates the loss and helps with turbulence penetration. It also gets you to the bar faster.

You turn down the gain so everything is green. Due to the reduced attenuation you receive greater clarity and course guidance. She'll be right is often mentioned at this point.

Wipe the sweat off your brow. It means you're no longer in the heavy freezing rain. Why didn't they put deicing gear on these damn piston twins again?

Switch off said transponder. ATC, have you got a return from XyZ? Would you like me to recycle?

Critical point is 6 beers on a minimum rest layer. SGR is the specific grog ratio on the remains of the last can to comply with bottle to throttle. SAR time is when you promised to call the wife when you got back to the hotel room. She calls it selfish arsehole reversion. I call it sudden airhostess requirement time.

Just look at the other guy. If he stops talking about the cricket and that arse in row 3, 20L required.

It helps warm up the wing. After all, if it's raining it's obviously warmer than the wing. Due to friction from the impact of the precipitation an indirect form of latent heating is invoked. Heavily utilized by Antonov pilots in Eastern Russia.

Low to high, careful of the sky. Remember that one. It'll save you.

I dunno. But I reckon if you ask a particular ex westwind captain this one he'd be able to sink it pretty quickly into your memory.

Global warming should have solved this problem by now. Deicing will no longer be required as decreed by the UN.
