What is the variometer?
A variometer is a device that is used for indicating the rate of the aircraft's descent or climb.
Which would provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance during climb after takeoff?
An airplane with a high climb rate will provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance after takeoff. This means it can climb quickly and efficiently, getting to a higher altitude in a shorter amount of time and distance compared to an airplane with a lower climb rate.
Should an airplane be trimmed in a climb to maintain climb rate or should you have to constantly apply upward force?
To avoid the possibility of "muscle memory" causing the pilot to execute the climb unevenly the aircraft should be trimmed to maintain the climb until the climb is done.
How does an vertical speed indicator work?
A vertical speed indicator (VSI) measures the rate of climb or descent of an aircraft by sensing changes in air pressure. It contains a diaphragm that expands or contracts based on these pressure changes, which are then displayed as a rate of climb or descent on the instrument. The VSI provides valuable information to pilots for maintaining desired altitudes during flight.
What is the purpose of spoilers on an airplane?
Spoilers are intended to reduce lift by spoiling smooth air flow over the top of a wing. This is to give a faster rate of descent safely.
Why should you not use the vertical velocity indicator to control the pitch attitude of an airplane?
Using the vertical velocity indicator to control pitch attitude in an airplane is not recommended because the vertical velocity indicator shows the rate of climb or descent, not the pitch attitude. It can cause unintended pitch changes if relied upon for pitch control, potentially leading to unstable flight conditions or loss of control. It is best to use the attitude indicator or other instruments specifically designed for pitch control.
Do things sink at the same rate in H2O?
No, their rate of descent depends on their "negative bouyancy"...
A hot air ballon begins its descent at a rate of 22 1 2 feet per minute how long will it take for the ballons elevation to change by -901 feet what is its rate of descent?
It is approx 40 minutes and 3 seconds. The rate of descent is 22.5 feet per minute!
Is it legal to do weightless flights on a private plane?
Yes, but not advisable unless the plane is designed for aerobatic flying. There is nothing illegal about rapidly descending which would be required for a weightless condition. The rate of descent is at the pilots descretion. He should not overload the airplane.
A hot air balloon descended 99.6 meters in 12 seconds what was the balloons average rate of descent in meters per second?
"Rate of descent" is a speed; so the idea is to divide the distance by the time.
At how many feet per second does an airplane fall?
Aircraft climb when they start flying and decend when they land. This is usually at a very small rate ( to avoid upsetting the passengers). If you are talking about an aircraft landing then 500 feet per minute is about right
Is the wet rate always lower than the dry rate?
For airplane rentals, no. Since the wet rate includes fuel.
