Performance and Limitations Flashcards
(4 cards)
1
Q
An aircraft is flying at a constant power setting and constant indicated altitude. What happens to the true airspeed and true altitude if the outside air temperature decreases?
A
The true airspeed and the true altitude both decrease.
2
Q
If an aircraft is flying at L/D max, what can be said of flying at lower or higher angles of attack?
A
Total drag is increased.
3
Q
What does the lower limit of the green arc on an airspeed indicator represent?
A
The poweroff stall speed in a specified configuration.
4
Q
If the atmospheric pressure and temperature remain the same, how would an increase in humidity affect takeoff performance?
A
Takeoff distance would be longer because the air is less dense.
