What will happen if the primer of your engine/fuel system kept operating?

What will happen if the primer of your engine/fuel system kept operating?

A variable pitch propeller provides an optimum angle of attack for the propeller blades for a longer range which reduces fuel usage, fixed pitch propellers only have a certain rpm.

Does windshear show on the weather radar?

What is CRM?

What is CRM?

Crew Resource Management (CRM) is the effective use of all available resources for flight crew personnel to assure a safe and efficient operation, reducing error, avoiding stress and increasing efficiency.

How does an airspeed indicator work and which errors can an airspeed indicator experience?

How does an airspeed indicator work and which errors can an airspeed indicator experience?

The airspeed indicator uses part of the aircraft's pitot-static system to measure and compare the dynamic air pressure between air moving into the pitot tube and static air pressure measured in the case. 

The ASI is calibrated to ISA at MSL and represents the dynamic pressure as indicated airspeed in knots per hour.

ASI errors can originate and vary from:

What is profile drag?

What is profile drag?

Profile drag, also known as pressure drag or form drag, is the drag caused by the separation of the boundary layer from a surface and the wake created by that separation.

It is primarily dependent upon the shape of the object and increases directly with speed as the faster an aircraft moves the more air molecules collide with it.

Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?

Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?

The speed is too low for an indication.

What are SOP's? And why do you think Airlines have SOP's?

What are SOP's? And why do you think Airlines have SOP's?

SOP's are Standard Operating Procedures, they provide safety, uniformity and work ethics.

What are the components that make up a fuel plan for a minimum-fuel trip?

Taxi, trip, contingency, reserve and extra fuel.
