Checkride Study Guide Graded A+

Pressure altitude is defined as {Ans: The height above the standard datum plane (theoretical level where the weight of the atmosphere is 29.92" hg)}Weight shift formula example {Ans: You are flying a 2500 pound aircraft loaded with 2 passengers and their baggage. Your boss wants you to load the aircraft at the most aft centre of gravity to save money on fuel during cruise. You complete the weight and balance with all baggage loaded in baggage area 1 and determine the C of G is 1.75″ forward from the most rearward position. Given baggage area 1 is 110″ and baggage area 2 is 150″, how much baggage should be transferred to baggage area 2? Weight to be moved: x Total Weight: 2500lbs CG: 1.75 Distance to move: 40" 2500 x 1.75 = 40x 4375 = 40x 109.375 = x}What are the disadvantages of a T-Tail? {Ans: Susceptible to deep stalls. Airflow that has separated from the wing is placed into the path of the horizontal surface of the tail. Stall recovery becomes difficult or impossible.}How are temperatures above 24,000 ft identified? {Ans: Temperatures above 24,000' are negative so the minus sign is omitted for these altitudes.}Where
