Über diese Lernkartei

This flashcard set covers operational procedures for pilots at a university level, focusing on critical aspects of flight such as landing, approach, and emergency protocols. It delves into key concepts like wind shear, engine management, and aircraft handling during various flight phases. Pilots and aviation students will benefit from this set, as it provides essential knowledge for safe and efficient flight operations, including handling emergencies and adhering to noise abatement procedures.

During an approach the aeroplane experiences a windshear with an increasing headwind. If the pilot does not make any corrections, how do the approach path and the indicated airspeed (IAS) change?

Path is higher, IAS decreases

After take-off an aeroplane gets into a wind shear with decreasing headwind. As a result...

the aeroplane flies above the estimated climb path.

the aeroplane flies below the estimated climb path.

the ground speed (GS) will decrease.

the true airspeed (TAS) will increase.

How can a wind shear encounter in flight be avoided?

Avoid areas of precipitation, particularly during winter, and choose low flight altitudes

Avoid take-off and landing during the passage of heavy showers or thunderstorms

Avoid take-offs and landings in mountainous terrain and stay in flat country whenever possible

Avoid thermally active areas, particularly during summer, or stay below these areas

Immediately after lift-off, a microburst is entered inadvertently. Which action might avoid an unintentional descent?
