Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Second Law states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and this change occurs in the direction of the applied force. It can be expressed as F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

How often should aircraft operating in a severe environment be inspected?

Back

Aircraft operating in a severe environment should be inspected every 15 calendar days.

Front

What information can typically be found in an aircraft specification or type certificate data sheet?

Back

An aircraft specification or type certificate data sheet typically includes the maximum weight as used in weight and balance.

Front

What is the most important instrument to monitor after fuel flow in the starting sequence of a turbine engine?

Back

The most important instrument to monitor after fuel flow in the starting sequence of a turbine engine is the exhaust gas temperature.

Front

What has aviation shifted its focus to in terms of safety?

Back

Aviation has shifted its focus from eliminating error to preventing and managing errors.

Front

What is the definition of momentum in physics?

Back

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object, represented as p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

Front

What does the term 'force' mean in physics?

Back

Force is an interaction that causes an object to change its velocity, which can include starting, stopping, or changing direction. It is measured in Newtons (N).

Front

What is the significance of the maximum weight in aircraft operations?

Back

The maximum weight is crucial for ensuring safe flight operations, affecting performance, fuel efficiency, and compliance with regulatory standards.

Front

What is the role of the fuel pressure gauge in aircraft?

Back

The fuel pressure gauge monitors the pressure of the fuel system, ensuring that the engine receives the correct amount of fuel for optimal performance.

Front

What does the term 'exhaust gas temperature' indicate in turbine engines?

Back

Exhaust gas temperature indicates the temperature of the gases exiting the turbine engine, which is critical for monitoring engine performance and preventing overheating.
