Study Notes

Abnormal Situations

If frost is found under the wing, the pilot should not make a takeoff.
If RVSM equipment fails before entering RVSM, the pilot should obtain a new clearance.

Aircraft Performance

The maximum takeoff (T/O) weight is 50,250 lbs.
The trim setting for a given weight and balance (W&B) is 6.75.
On the chart, the pilot should read N1 as 86.9 and fuel flow as 493.

Aircraft Speeds

V1, VR, and V2 speeds are 126, 132, and 141, respectively.

Aerodynamics

Gust load affects the angle of attack.
The critical Mach number is the point at which shock waves first appear on the aircraft at any position.

Aircraft Systems

The heading indicator shows the horizontal axis.
Sweep back contributes to lateral axis stability.

Aircraft Performance and Drag

An increase in velocity induces a decrease in drag.

Radio Communication

During the day, a higher frequency should be used, while at night, a lower frequency should be used.
EPR stands for engine pressure ratio.
The inlet pressure is compared to turbine air pressure or compressor air pressure.

Illusions and Visual References

Without a visual reference, a pilot may experience the illusion of the aircraft slowing down during descent.

Radio Communication Procedures

When using MF frequency, the pilot should only talk to the ground station if it exists.

Landing Procedures

When Vref is greater than normal Vref, the pilot should touch down immediately, then lower the nose, use maximum brake and reverse, and finally nose up.
