What is the Equation for Total Pressure? - --Answers -- Total
Pressure = Dynamic Pressure + Static Pressure
Dynamic Pressure = ½ × p × V²
What is the Equation for a Rate One Turn?
What is the definition? - --Answers----A rate One Turn is
360° in 2 minutes
Angle of Bank for Knots = (TAS in Knots/10) + 7
Angle of Bank for MPH = (TAS in MPH/10) + 5
What is the 1 in 60 Rule? - --Answers----Miles Off =
(Degrees off x Distance) / 60
What is the Equation for Calculating Center of Gravity? -
-- Answers----Moment = ARM x Weight
,What is the Equation for Thrust? - --Answers----Thrust =
(Mass Flow Through Engine) x (Change in Speed Through
Engine)
What is the Equation for Specific Air Range? - --Answers---
- Specific Air Range = True Airspeed (Knots) / Fuel Flow
(Gallons or Pounds per Hour)
What is the Equation for Specific Ground Range? - --
Answers-
---Specific Ground Range = Ground Speed (Knots) / Fuel
Flow (Gallons or Pounds per Hour)
What is the Equation for Specific Range?
What is the Definition? - --Answers----Specific Range =
Distance Flown (nm) / Fuel Used ( Gallons or Pounds)
Measure of the distance covered per unit of fuel
What do you calculate the New Center of Gravity with a
Weight Change? - --Answers----New CG = (Original CG
ARM x Original Total Weight +/- Weight Change x CG of the
Weight Changed) / New Total Weight of the Aircraft
+ = Weight Added
- = Weight Reduced
,What is the Weight Shifting Equation? - --Answers----CG
Shift
= (+/- Distance the Weight is Shifted / Total Weight of
Aircraft) x Weight Shifted
+ = Weight Shifted Aft (back)
- = Weight Shifted Forward
What is the Equation for % MAC? - --Answers----% MAC =
(CG
- LEMAC) / MAC
CG = Moment / Weight
ARM (in) = LEMAC
LEMAC is usually given
What is the Equation for Kinetic Energy? - --Answers----
Kinetic Energy = ½ x Mass x V²
What is the Equation for a Hydroplaning Tire that is:
1) A Non-Rotating Tire?
2) A Rotating Tire? - --Answers----1) V (knots) = 7.7 x
√Tire Pressure (PSI)
, 2) V (knots) = 9.0 x √Tire Pressure (PSI)
What is the Equation for Point of Equal Time/ Critical Point
(PET/CP)?
And Time to the PET/CP? - --Answers----Distance to PET/CP
= (Total Distance x GS return) / (GS return + GS continue)
Time to PET/CP = Distance to PET/CP / GS cruise
Be careful of one-engine out speeds.
GS calculated using TAS and Wind Information
How do you calculate the Point of No Return (PNR)?
And Time to the PNR? - --Answers----Distance to PNR = (F x
GS return X GS outbound) / GS return + GS outbound
Time to PNR = Distance to PNR / GS outbound
What is the Minimum VFR Fuel Requirements? - --Answers--
-
-By Day:
Enough fuel for taxi, contingencies, traffic, weather, landing
at suitable aerodrome in case of loss of cabin pressure or
engine
