" Correction, moist air cools at a LOWER rate than surrounding air. Dry adiabatic lapse rate is
around 3 deg. Celsius per 1,000 ft. While moist is between 1.1 to 2.8 C per 1,000 ft. From Pilot’s
Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge “ For a thunderstorm to form, the air must have suBcient
water vapor, an unstable lapse rate, and an initial lifting action to start the storm process.” And “
Since water vapor is lighter than air, moisture decreases air density, causing it to rise.
Conversely, as moisture decreases, air becomes denser and tends to sink. Since moist air cools
at a slower rate, it is generally less stable than dry air since the moist air must rise higher before
its temperature cools to that of the surrounding air. The dry adiabatic lapse rate (unsaturated
air) is 3 °C (5.4 °F) per 1,000 feet. The moist adiabatic lapse rate varies from 1.1 °C to 2.8 °C (2

(0) It is important to remember that compressor blades are actually small airfoils. The rotor blades are set at a given angle
on the spindle and stators. The angle at which the incoming air meets those blades varies as a result of the air's velocity
and the compressor's rotational speed. In other words, its angle of attack. An imbalance between those two vector
quantities might stall the airaow. A compressor stall occurs when the air mass travelling through the compressor slows
down and stops. In extreme cases, the airaow might even reverse direction. Compressor blades stall for numerous
reasons: blade failure, foreign object damage, a fuel mixture that is too lean, abrupt aircraft movement (severe pitch up or
down), excess fuel aow. -Advanced Aircraft Systems by David Lombardo + , Like this Answer

Answer this question!
" Amp-hour ratings measure a battery's electrical capacity, similar to how you rate a bucket's
water capacity in gallons. These ratings can be expressed in different values as long as the
product equals the total capacity. For example, a 20 amp-hour rated battery can discharge 20
amps of current for 1 hour. Rarely will you load this battery to the full 20 amps. So, more
practical ways to express this are: 1 amp of current for 20 hrs; 5 amps for 4 hrs; 10 amps for 2
hrs; 6.66 amps for 3 hrs, etc. This is why it's important to reduce electrical load (amps) when
running on battery alone during an electrical system failure. (August 31, 2019 - Mark J.)

" A relay is an electromagnetic switch operated by a small electric current that can turn on or
off one or more larger current circuits (devices) over long distances. The small current circuit in
the relay is much safer and better for people and sensitive panel electronics than a conventional
switch connected directly to the large and high current circuit it's controlling. (August 31, 2019 -

241. . ( / 37 ) What is critical mach? What happens to the center of pressure/lift as we enter mach tuck?
(13) Mach tuck is an aerodynamic effect, whereby the nose of an aircraft tends to pitch downwards as the airaow around
the wing reaches supersonic speeds. The aircraft will be subsonic, and traveling signiLcantly below Mach 1.0, when it Lrst
experiences this effect. As the wing becomes more affected by the shock wave the center of pressure will continue to
travel aft, thereby causing a signiLcantly higher nose-down force and requiring a nose-up input or trim to maintain level
aight. Although Mach tuck develops gradually, if it is allowed to progress signiLcantly, the center of pressure can move so
far rearward that there is no longer enough elevator authority available to counteract it, and the airplane enters a steep,

aight speed possible Without Supersonic aow. • Critical Mach number is, the boundary between Subsonic and Transonic

Shock waves, Buffet, Airaow Separation, etc., take place above Critical Mach number. • As Critical Mach number is

2c4. . ( / 5 ) Can you join the glide slope from further out than the published glide slope intercept altitude?
(1) Yes + , Like this Answer - Flag Incorrect Answer
" No. The following additional advisory language was added to the AIM 5-4-5 b: 2. The ILS glide slope is intended to be intercepted at the
published glide slope intercept altitude. This point marks the PFAF and is depicted by the “lightning bolt” symbol on U.S. Government charts.
Intercepting the glide slope at this altitude marks the beginning of the Lnal approach segment and ensures required obstacle clearance during
descent from the glide slope intercept altitude to the lowest published decision altitude for the approach. Interception and tracking of the glide
slope prior to the published glide slope interception altitude does not necessarily ensure that minimum, maximum, and/or mandatory altitudes
published for any preceding Lxes will be complied with during the descent. If the pilot chooses to track the glide slope prior to the glide slope
interception altitude, they remain responsible for complying with published altitudes for any preceding step-down Lxes encountered during the
subsequent descent. (January 17, 2017 - Unknown)
" The AIM verbiage makes it sound like you are allowed to join the GS further out but should
keep crosschecking your altitude to make sure you're in compliance with any min, max, or

293. . ( / 13 ) If the VOR, which is being used for missed approach segment, is inoperative, is the approach still legal?
(12) Aeronautical Information Manual5-4-21. Missed Approach. Some locations may have a preplanned alternate missed
approach procedure for use in the event the primary NAVAID used for the missed approach procedure is unavailable. The
alternate missed approach may be based on NAVAIDs not used in the approach procedure or the primary missed approach.
When the alternate missed approach procedure is implemented by NOTAM, it becomes a mandatory part of the procedure.
The NOTAM will specify both the textual instructions and any additional equipment requirements necessary to complete
the procedure. Air traBc may also issue instructions for the alternate missed approach when necessary, such as when the
primary missed approach NAVAID fails during the approach. Pilots may reject an ATC clearance for an alternate missed
approach that requires equipment not necessary for the published approach procedure when the alternate missed
approach is issued after beginning the approach. However, when the alternate missed approach is issued prior to beginning
the approach the pilot must either accept the entire procedure (including the alternate missed approach), request a
different approach procedure, or coordinate with ATC for alternative action to be taken, i.e., proceed to an alternate airport,
etc. + , Like this Answer - Flag Incorrect Answer
