RVSM sensitive area on aircraft

+the area around Pitot tube AOA vanes demarcated with red dashes
VMCA certification of CofG
+Minimum control speed in the air
+Criteria = Maxium permisable power on all operating engines
= Critical Engine windmilling
=Full rudder deflection or nominated rudder force
=5 deg bank away from failed engine
= Flaps in take off position
= Landing Gear retracted
= Full aft CofG
Effects of CoG on VMCA
+Aft CofG means a smaller moment arm for the rudder to work
therefore increasing VMCA
Effect of Aft CofG to cruise and stall
+Aft CofG higher cruise speed as lower AoA and lower stall speed
+Not very good recovery as longitudinal stability is reduced
Runway lights last 3000’ 2000’ 1000’

MCAS on the 737 Max
+Maneuvering characteristic augmentation system
+used to counter pitch up effect of newer , bigger , repositioned
engines on the MAX
+make it “feel” like older 737NG
+Wrong info from only one AOA , Leads to nose pitch down inputs
from horizontal stabilizer
+decreases pitch up tendency at elevated AOA
RVSM wx Avoidence
High Speed Flight ( Mach Crit , Mach tuck , Mach trim)
+Mach tuck
=is the nose pitching down tendency due to shock wave forming on
the top of the wing at the root causing the center of pressure to move
backwards , causing the nose to pitch downwards
+Mach trim
=auto trim nose pitch upwards as a function of mach number to
prevent mach tuck
+Mach Crit
=the speed at which airflow over parts of the aircraft , reaches speed
of sound
Swept wing
+advantages
=increase in Mach Crit
=allows for the delay of the onset of shock wave drag
=better at high speed flight
+disadvantages
=Stall characteristic is nose pitch up due to wing root stalling first
=slow speed characteristics are poor and need high angle of attach
=Higher stall speeds increasing take off and landing distance

What do the winglets do on -800
+reduces induced drag by limiting spanwise flow and vortex
generation at the wingtips
+2% decrease in fuel burn
Why does the B777 not have winglets
+ computer designed wing so efficient they not required
+B777 has racked wing tips
+reduces takeoff length and climb performance
+reduced fuel burn

Fail operational Vs Fail Passive
Advantage of underslung engines
+Easier access for maintenance
+Clean airflow preventing compressor stalls compared to engines
mounted on the aft section of the fuselage
+Weight and balance is more manageable due to been near CofG
Disadvantages of underslung engines
+Limited in size by the height of the landing gear
+Significant yaw with engine failure compared to engines mounted
on the fuselage
+Pitch changes during thrust lever movement
