What happens to landing speed with varying headwinds, altitude, temperature, TAS, and Ground speed?
• Ground speed for landing will be slower with a headwind, Ground speed will be faster with altitude and temperature due to a higher true airspeed. • What shows up best on radar? Rain, Hail, Sleet, Snow • (Hail) • What does Red and Green light signals from a control tower mean? • Exercise Extreme Caution. • What is the worst Icing Condition? • Freezing Rain. • What is the sequence for starting a turbine engine? • Air, Ignition, Fuel. • What is a characteristic of a low pressure system? • Unstable Air. • For over seas flights how many life jackets must be aboard? • One for each person. • Computations for visual descent points • Distance- Divide the HAT on the chart by 300 and subtract that from the end of the runway. Example: MDA for LOC 27 (450)agl. 450/300= 1.5 miles. VDP for runway 27 is 1.5 miles from end of runway. • Computation for visual descent point • Time- Take 10% of the HAT and subtract that from the time from FAF to MAP. Example: MDA for LOC 27 (450)agl. Time on the approac
