Study Notes
Aircraft Performance and Operations
- When an aircraft climbs with a fixed IAS, its TAS and Mach number both increase.
- If an aircraft flies at a fixed Mach number while temperature increases, its TAS increases.
Weight and Balance
- On a large aircraft, the Center of Gravity (CoG) is typically shown as a percentage of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC%).
- The formula to calculate MAC is MAC = 21.56%.
Emergency Procedures
- If immediate assistance is needed, the pilot should squawk 7500 followed by 7700.
Human Factors
- If a co-pilot notices that the captain is not performing well, the likely reason is fatigue.
Licensing and Regulations
- If an ATPL pilot does not meet the requirements of the Civil Aviation Regulations (CARS), there may be issues with their certification.
