A Mach trimmer is a system that artificially corrects for Mach tuck.

Carb icing can occur with temperatures as high 30°C and humidity as low as 50%, but it is more likely when below 20°C and high humidity, especially during low power settings.

Dihedral provides:

Lateral stability (during a roll) Wing clearance, wingtip to ground has more space

When an aircraft climbs, the static pressure in the instrument case decreases, which allows the enclosed capsule to expand.

This in turn moves the needle on the instrument to indicate a corresponding altitude.

During descent, the opposite function applies.

Altimeter errors can originate and vary from:

Instrument Pressure Time-lag Barometric Density Temperature Blocked static port

Lift is the component of the total aerodynamic force perpendicular to the relative airflow.

Lift is generated when a streamlined body, such as an aerofoil, is placed in a flow of air.

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.

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

The track changes constantly.

They provide at least 1000ft clearance over obstacles within 25NM of the homing facility.

A swept wing makes the velocity vector normal to the leading edge a shorter distance than the chordwise resultant.
