How does a stall strip work?

How does a stall strip work?

A stall strip, usually located close to the wing root, causes the airflow to separate at a lower angle of attack and ensures that the wing root stalls before the wing tips.

Is the landing gear in the Seneca electrically or hydraulically operated?

Is the landing gear in the Seneca electrically or hydraulically operated?

We are missing the answer.

Do airplanes have an optimum C.G.? If yes, where is it?

Do airplanes have an optimum C.G.? If yes, where is it?

Yes, the closer the C.G. is to the rear limit, the less tail down force is required, which means less drag which results in less fuel burn.

Do single engined planes have a VMCG?

Do single engined planes have a VMCG?

No, VMCG is defined as the minimum control speed on the ground, with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine airplanes), takeoff power on other engine(s), using aerodynamic controls only for directional control and thus only applicable to ME aircraft.

If you are flying your light twin, how would you ensure minimum obstacle clearance if your engine fails on take off? How would you do this, or, where can you find the relevant information?

If you are flying your light twin, how would you ensure minimum obstacle clearance if your engine fails on take off? How would you do this, or, where can you find the relevant information?

In the airplane documents, as the airplane is certificated regarding performance to be able to fly blue line speed (or Vyse) in this situation, so I would climb at this speed to ensure minimum obstacle clearance.

If you only have a compass, which is easier to navigate along: a line of longitude or a line of latitude?

If you only have a compass, which is easier to navigate along: a line of longitude or a line of latitude?

A line of latitude.

Explain V1, V2, VR, VMCA and VMCG

Explain V1, V2, VR, VMCA and VMCG

V1 is the decision speed (sometimes referred to as critical engine speed or critical engine failure speed) by which any decision to reject a takeoff must be made.

V2 is the takeoff safety speed which must be attained at the 35 ft height at the end of the required runway distance. This is essentially the best one-engine inoperative angle of climb speed for the airplane and is a minimum speed for flight in that condition until at least 400 ft above the ground. V2 shall be at least 1.1 times VMCA, and no less than 1.2 times VS.

Vr is defined as the speed at which the rotation of the aircraft should be initiated to takeoff attitude.

VMCA is the minimum control speed in the air and is defined as the minimum speed, whilst in the air, that directional control can be maintained with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine aerolanes), operating engine(s) at takeoff power and a maximum of 5 degrees of bank towards the good engine(s).

VMCG is the minimum control speed on the ground and is defined as the minimum speed, whilst on the ground, that directional control can be maintained, using only aerodynamic controls, with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine airplanes) and takeoff power applied on the other engine(s).
