If in a go-around, which take-off stages will still apply?

If in a go-around, which take-off stages will still apply?

None. The go around procedure is distinct from the take off procedure. You will still have an acceleration altitude, but you will not have a screen height, V1, Vr, V2, flap retraction altitude, etc.

What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?

What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?

Assuming I'm performing single pilot operations:

  • power idle,

  • max brakes (and reversers if available),

-maintain directional control using rudder input,

  • After coming to a full stop set parking break.

  • Inform ATC 'Stopping'.

  • Initiate the appropriate process to diagnose the problem (ECAM, NITS DODAR, checklists....).

  • When performing multi pilot operations the actions performed by me will depend with my current role: PF, PM and/or CM1 CM2.

What are wing tip vortices?

What are wing tip vortices?

Wingtip vortices are tubes of circulating air that are left behind a wing as it generates lift.

They are caused by the difference in pressure above and below the wing causing the air to 'escape' from the high pressure area below the wing to the low pressure area above the wing, by rolling around the tip of the wing. This creates a vortex that trails behind the wing.

What is ACA/H? What ACA/H did you use? Why do we have an ACA/H?

What is ACA/H? What ACA/H did you use? Why do we have an ACA/H?

Asymmetric Committal Altitude/Height is the minimum height needed to establish a positive climb whilst maintaining adequate speed for control and removal of drag during an approach to a landing.

In the Seneca at Oxford we used 200ft AGL. At this altitude when continuing for landing you selected the landing flaps (check clear runway, on speed, on altitude, landing clearance received).

You now are committed to land, single engine G/A with flaps 40 and gear down is not possible in a Seneca.

What is alternate air? And what is its relation with the air filter?

Why do we use Jeppesen charts/plates?

Why do we use Jeppesen charts/plates?

Jeppesen charts and plates are simplified and uniform.

Why will a jet usually not fly at 41.000 feet?

Why will a jet usually not fly at 41.000 feet?

Because of the distance which has to be covered to reach 41.000 feet which may not be convenient for a short flight.

On long flights it is more typical to fly at 41.000 feet when the aircraft weight and performance allows.

Explain the Fohn wind.

Explain the Fohn wind.

A Fohn wind is a warm dry wind that blows down the lee side of a mountain.

Initially, the air temperature cools dry-adiabatically (3°C/1000 ft), until its dew point temperature is reached. Condensation occurs as the air is further forced up the mountain range, resulting in the air cooling saturated-adiabatically (generally considered in the mid-latitudes to be 1.8°C/1000 ft). Clouds and precipitation form. When the air mass reaches the top of the mountain range it has lost a significant amount of its water content and so has a much lower dew point temperature.

As the air then begins to descend down the lee slope of the mountain the compressed air is initially heated saturated-adiabatically, and in effect the direct reverse to the cooling effect on the windward side occurs. As the air continues leeward and downward from the mountain range, the air, now no longer saturated, is heated dry-adiabatically.

The resultant wind is dry and warm giving clear conditions at airfields on the lee side of the mountain range.

The Foehn Effect also may be associated with mountain wave activity.
