ABCs.
2. Looking for in scene approach - ANSWER Smoke, trees, MOI, traffic in
area.
3. Troposphere - ANSWER - first layer
- upper layer of this zone is a constant -56.5 degrees
- water vapour reduces with ascent
- 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% trace
- 0-10,000ft
4. Stratosphere - ANSWER - from 17km to 50km
- lower levels experience some weather
- contains ozone layer
- absorbs ultraviolet radiation of the sun
- temperature is constant -56
,- almost no water vapour present
- about 24% of the total atmospheric molecular mass
5. Mesosphere - ANSWER - from 50-80km
- temperature reaches its coldest at -90
- meteors generally burn up here
6. Thermosphere - ANSWER - 85-700km
- 2000 degrees from solar radiation
7. Exosphere - ANSWER - final layer
-transitions into space
8. Atmospheric Pressure - ANSWER 760mmHg at a temperature of 15
degrees in dry air at sea level.
9. Greatest Density Change - ANSWER Between sea level and 5000ft above
sea level.
10. Efficient Zone - ANSWER - sea level to 10,000 ft
- physiological environment
- barometric pressure drops from 760mmHg to 523mmHg at 10,000ft
11. Deficient Zone - ANSWER - from 10,000ft to 50,000ft
, - requires supplemental oxygen or cabin pressurized systems
- barometric pressure approx. 87mmHg
- human body cannot survive unless in pressurized environment
12. Space Equivalent Zone - ANSWER - 50,000ft and continuing to outer
fringes of atmosphere
- totally hostile to human life
- requires pressurized aircraft
- boiling point of water drops to body temperature
- unsurvivable
13. Aircraft Pressurization - ANSWER Engines introduce ambient air into a
compressor. The compressed air heats up and must be cooled before being
introduced into the cabin.
14. Pressurized Aircraft - ANSWER - expensive to build
- longer runways required
- complex maintenance
- higher altitudes
- fly above weather
- faster speeds
- generally longer range
- less turbulence
- less oxygen required
- stable cabin temperature
