What can you tell about occluded fronts?

What can you tell about occluded fronts?

Occluded fronts are formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a cold front overtakes a warm front. When this occurs, the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the Earth's surface.

Occluded fronts usually form around mature low pressure areas.

What is an NDB?

What is an NDB?

Non Directional Beacon, a medium range radio navigation aid that sends out a signal in all directions for an aircraft to home to.

What is the typical range of an NDB?

What is the typical range of an NDB?

Average range over land 20 - 25 miles.

Range for an NDB can be calculated with:

2√power output in Watts = Range (Land) 3√ power output in Watts = Range (Water)

What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?

What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?

Angle of attack is the angle between the chord of the aerofoil and the relative airflow.

Angle of incidence is the angle between the chord and the aircrafts longitudinal datum.

How can you calculate the Operating Mass?

How can you calculate the Operating Mass?

OM = DOM + crew and fuel

Why is a great circle the shortest distance between two points?

Why is a great circle the shortest distance between two points?

The track changes constantly.

Why are the indications on an FMA preferred over an MCP?

Why are the indications on an FMA preferred over an MCP?

Always make sure to update yourself with the latest information on these type of questions.

CFM56-7 series with a max takeoff thrust of 27,300lb.

These engines have higher thrust, improved efficiency, and lower maintenance costs than its predecessor, the CFM56-3 series.

180 minutes extended range (ETOPS).

Bypass ratio 5.5:1

What is Vs?

What is Vs?

Stall speed is defined as the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.

What is radiation fog?

What is radiation fog?

Radiation fog forms on cloudless nights with only very light winds and high relative humidity when the cold ground cools the air above it to its dew point causing condensation (fog).

Usually occurs inland in valleys and low lying areas (as these areas tend to have more moisture) and usually occurs in a high pressure system.

What does a bypass ratio of 11:1 mean?

What does a bypass ratio of 11:1 mean?

For every 1kg of air passing through the combustion chamber, 11kg of air pass bypass the combustion chamber.
