QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Climbs - ✔✔when an aircraft flight path changes from a lower to a higher level in
altitude. Pilot must increase lift to overcome the aircraft's weight (if not, results in
decrease of airspeed; to correct, input thrust)
✔✔Normal climb (cruise climb) - ✔✔performed within the aircraft manufacturer's
standards; the aircraft increases airspeed, but it my not be operating at its optimum
performance
✔✔Best Rate of Climb - ✔✔gaining the most altitude in a given amount of time using
the most power available to reach cruising altitude (Vy). Steeper than a normal and
results in greatest altitude gain over a set amount of time. Used during takeoff or when
needs to gain altitude quickly
✔✔Best Angle of Climb - ✔✔gaining the most altitude over a given distance. Used
during takeoff, but also at airports where there are obstructions in the flight path.
Navigating obstacles requires this
✔✔Descents - ✔✔the opposite of a climb. Engine power levels must be reduced to
maintain airspeed and avoid an excess speed situation
, ✔✔Partial Power Descent - ✔✔Preferred way to decrease altitude. Aircraft should drop
at a rate of 500 feet per minute
✔✔Minimum Safe Airspeed (MSA) - ✔✔a nose-high controlled descent used to clear
obstacles on a short runway. Aircraft's angle is steeper than during a partial power
descent.
✔✔Emergency Descent - ✔✔occurs when an aircraft rapidly loses altitude
✔✔percent of change formula - ✔✔percent of change=amount of change/original
amount
✔✔percentages - ✔✔part=whole x percent
percent=part/whole
whole=part/percent
✔✔midpoint formula - ✔✔(x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2
✔✔distance formula - ✔✔d = √[( x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
✔✔quadratic equation - ✔✔
✔✔quadratic equation axis of symmetry (x point of vertex) - ✔✔x=-(b/2a)
✔✔quadratic formula - ✔✔x = -b ± √(b² - 4ac)/2a
✔✔supplementary angles - ✔✔Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees
✔✔complementary angles - ✔✔Two angles whose sum is 90 degrees
✔✔Circumference of a circle - ✔✔2πr
✔✔Area of a circle - ✔✔A=πr²
✔✔Area of a triangle - ✔✔A= 1/2 bh
✔✔Pythagorean Theorem - ✔✔a²+b²=c²
where c always represents the hypotenuse and a and b represent the other sides of a
right triangle
✔✔Triangle Inequality Theorem - ✔✔The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a
triangle is greater than the length of the third side. and greater than their distance
