What do you prefer, a high or low wingload?
What do you prefer, a high or low wingload?
The assessor was trying to get to the approach where you need flaps and slats to increase S (lower wingload) in order to be able to fly a lower speed.
What frequency range and band is an NDB in?
What frequency range and band is an NDB in?
Frequency range from 200-1750kHz, medium and low range frequency bands.
How accurate are NDB's?
How accurate are NDB's?
NDB’s are stations emitting a signal. There is nothing for them to be accurate about. ADF's on the other hand, when tuned to an NDB need to be accurate within +/- 5 degrees.
Do airplanes have an optimum C.G.? If yes, where is it?
Do airplanes have an optimum C.G.? If yes, where is it?
Yes, the closer the C.G. is to the rear limit, the less tail down force is required, which means less drag which results in less fuel burn.

Why does a wing stall?
Why does a wing stall?
A wing stalls because the airflow over the wing’s upper surface separates when the critical angle of attack is reached or exceeded. This causes a reduction in the lift generated by the aerofoil
