A question I haven’t seen before asked to calculate how much earlier or later the sun will set between two locations, where one is longitude E11921 and the other E12127. There is an example calculation in the answer:
1. Calculate the longitude difference: 121.27 – 119.21 =2.06 => 2° 6′
2. From that, convert the difference into degrees: 2.1°.
3. And…

Thanks for sharing this question Peter! While it’s unlikely to come up often, it’s an important concept to understand and one that isn’t typically covered well in textbooks. Your approach is correct, and it’s a great example of how small changes in longitude can affect sunset times. Appreciate you bringing this up!

Hi Jonty, I think there are two correct answers in the following question about the passenger safety briefing?
https://app.screencast.com/iYRJLbgl94ImR
I had to pick the body position one (!), but the correct answer according to the test is the one about the life jackets.
However, looking at CASR Part 91 20.06, there is no mention of “body…
-
Hi Peter, You’re right—this is definitely a tricky “most correct” style of question. Let’s revisit CASR 91 MOS para 20.06 carefully:
Body position (brace position) is explicitly mentioned in the briefing items and required on all take-offs:
– (f) how and when to adopt the brace position;
Life jackets or rafts must be briefed only if they’re… Read more

Sorry, just can not understand how a pitot tube leak will lead to an overread.
As the ASI is calculated by Total pressure (measure by pilot tube) – static pressure (measure by static tube).
Assuming a unpressurized airplane, with a reduced figure of total pressure, isn’t the outcome will always be a smaller figure?
-
Hi Ling, that is correct. It should be “Underread”. Here is an extract from Aircraft General Knowledge by ATC (p. 160). Also an interesting stack exchange article here: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/90388/what-would-be-the-asi-readings-incase-of-pitot-leakage. I will update that now 🙂

Sorry, one more. Would be grateful for the discussion.
Drag opposes… in a vector format drag opposes thrust, not lift. Drag + Lift create a total reaction, and Lift induces drag, but they don’t oppose each other.
-
Your statement is 100% correct, and that answer and response is incorrect. Drag always opposes the motion of the object and, in an aircraft, is overcome by thrust. Thank you for posting this 🙂

Similarly I’m not sure about this one. I read the RAAus Flight Operations Manual as 0.02% rather than 0%. I mean, 0 is a better choice, but not the rule?
-
I would agree with you on this one @risswiese 🙂 0.02 is accurate.

Is this correct? is it 760kg now?

Hi @risswiese yes that is correct! The answer should be 760kg, I will update it now 🙂

Hey all, just wondering if you could assist in some feedback for our iPhone/Android apps. We don’t track any usage of the app due to app store policies, but would love to gauge how essential these apps are to you. With increasing development costs we would like to hear if you find them useful or if desktop is the way to go. Cheers, Jonty 🙂
Do you use our iPhone/Android App?
