What is the screen height for a single engine?

What is the screen height for a single engine?

35 ft


For Reference:

  • 50ft for Class B or A (<15° AoB at take-off or normal landings)

  • 35ft for Class A (dry take-off or steep approach)

  • 15ft for Class A (wet take-off)

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.

How accurate are NDB's?

How accurate are NDB's?

NDB’s are stations emitting a signal. There is nothing for them to be accurate about. ADF's on the other hand, when tuned to an NDB need to be accurate within +/- 5 degrees.

What is the role of Pilot Monitoring?

What is the role of Pilot Monitoring?

How does the all moving stabilator work on the Boeing 737 compared a fixed horizontal stabilizer of, for example, the Seneca?

How does the all moving stabilator work on the Boeing 737 compared a fixed horizontal stabilizer of, for example, the Seneca?

A moving stabilator allows for wider operating range of the control surface, which is of great importance in aircraft with a large range of operating speeds.

Compared to a fixed horizontal stabilizer, when trimmed, the moving stabilitor will produce less drag, reducing fuel consumption.

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.
