If in a go-around, which take-off stages will still apply?
If in a go-around, which take-off stages will still apply?
None. The go around procedure is distinct from the take off procedure. You will still have an acceleration altitude, but you will not have a screen height, V1, Vr, V2, flap retraction altitude, etc.
What are the effects on the human body in case of depressurisation?
What are the effects on the human body in case of depressurisation?
Hypoxia, a lack of oxygen to tissues of the body due to low partial pressure at altitude.
Symptoms are: blue lips, apparent personality change, impaired judgement, muscular impairment, short term memory loss, sensory loss, hyperventilation, unconsciousness.
Other possible effects:
-
Baurotrauma
-
Lung damage

What is the critical angle of attack?
What is the critical angle of attack?
The critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient.
This is also called the "stall angle of attack".
Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?
Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?
-
If no IRS/INS/GPS was available, it’s easier to fly a constant heading (but you will need to apply variation).
-
If flying over short distances (as done during your training) the error introduced by flying a rhumb line is insi
What are the dangers of flying into thunderstorms?
What are the dangers of flying into thunderstorms?
Dangers of flying into thunderstorms:
Severe wind shear and turbulence (with a risk of structural problems, loss of altitude, loss of airspeed) Severe icing Hail Lightning strikes (with a risk of damage to electrical systems) Radio Communications and Navigation interference from static electricity in thunderstorms
While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?
While climbing with a SEP, in what temperature range can carb icing occur?
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.
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
Center of pressure moves forward when approaching a stall.
