Favourite Ppc Question

[Hazy]

Horsepower lost with bleed heat on in a C20 engine??

 

Are you saying that you lose the same amount of hp with a Flippo and a Dart? I thought I asked some 350 questions???

Good thread. Bump

Hehe, long time no see on this one!

 

highest elevation on MAP question:

On the legend above the HYPSOMETRIC Tinting, there is a box with a number, and a lat and long, the box is also ON the map at THAT lat and long, indicating the highest altitude on the map.

 

Decoding TAF/METARS are always good, here is one for ya, what does LTGICCCCG mean... It is in a METAR.

 

RDM, still did not get the answer to the cyclic question...

 

REally need to know now, It'll be asked soon!

 

Cheers,

Lightning I think?

 

A question a guy at work posed last week to pass the time:

At cruise power setting you fly at 100 kts. Your daily trip to Site X takes 50 minutes in no wind, so it's easy to plan your fuel for the round trip. However today you have a 25 kt tail wind going to ______. There is no fuel available at the site either.

Will your round trip today take the same amount of time, less time or more time.

 

Apparently about 50% of pilots get this one wrong.

More time. Not a lot, but more.

I'll let it sit for a tad more.

 

Here's another one that I seen often in Newfoundland: PRESRR

 

Ryan:

Looking at your question, the time to travel should be the same, as the wind will cancel each leg out. however, calculating it, shows us this:

 

Distance is 83.3 miles

50 minutes in no wind Total of 1 hour 40 minutes return (not counting the pee stop for the pilot here)

40 minutes at 125 kts G/S (Going out)

1 hour 6 miutes coming back, for a total of 1 hour 46 minutes.

 

So 6 minutes longer at this wind.

Pressure Rising Rapidly

 

It goes right along with PRESFR often seen on the West Coast

 

Good one, I have also seen some intereseting GFA abbrev. that are not translated in any AIM or NAV Canada publications

It isn't. The real PPC question here is Why?
