Dropping meat bombs for years. Every 182 I flew was always nose heavy, especially coming down empty. I always had the trim full nose up on every landing. Tis normal, use your muscles

So just to clarify, if you do have your ATPL and citizenship, you still have to convert to JAA?

Finished just in time for my flight!
PM me how it goes tomorrow if ya like, or if you get any of those charts on the exam
gotta jet
good luck!

And #30 again I'm not 100%
but if you look at the climb limit it's 33520 which is answer a)
33700lbs with no wind, and 34140 with the HW
however I'm guessing the climb limit of 33520 would be correct limiting answer (can't take off with 34140 and then climb out at 33520lbs!)

you're welcome!

as for #31
add 300 for HW on rwy15
subtract 400 for QNH 2992-2976 = 16
for every .02 subtract 50 so 400 (8 x 55)

27degrees - if you use the chart printed in the book (26 degrees = 32860) + (28 degrees = 32320) = 65180/2 (for 27 degrees) = 32590

32590 +300 - 400 = d) 32490

for 6-#26 I don't know if this is correct but this would be my reasoning. 33150lbs is your take off weight the closest for rwy 33 is 33160lbs which is a)83.3%.. however if you look at the climb limit column for 33150lbs the closest is 33520lbs - torque setting 84.1% thats how I rationalized it for m...

hmm... if thats the case then don't you think for #28, the max weight should be 33,525lb on Runway 33 (TWC) ... they didn't even give that option! I would say that yes you are correct, however you are also correct in that they didn't give that option.. therefore it is not an option, therefore must ...

6-#25
I would use A 77.2%
That's the minimum torque you could use to get the 30550lb dash 8 off the runway
B is correct however it is not the minimum torque setting.

let me know if you need me to expand further on that one

#29 taking into account 6 kts HW for Rwy15 I get 31930 for Rwy 33 subtracting 450 for the tailwind gives me 33750 The question states to determine the maximum allowable take off weight.. therefor taking the tailwind (because you can up to 10kts so why not if the aircraft performs accordingly) tailwi...

This is also off the aerocourse website if it helps

"As a hint for Q30, you have to look at both runway and airborne factors of the chart. For Q31, you have to look at the wind and altimeter corrections."

#28 Temp = 24C 24degrees C gives you 33140 for Rwy 15 13kt HW (x25lbs/kt) give you an extra 325lbs 325 + 33140 = 33465lbs Also check the updated Takeoff performance chart here http://www.aerocourse.com/courses.php?id=8 "In the 4th edition of the ATPL workbook, the DASH 8 ATOG chart that affects comp...

Sounds good! thanks CL30!

Thanks for the respones!
If jet time is a typical requirement, where would guys/gals get this time from? Jazz??
I guess I'm looking for some routes people have takin to gain the experiance necessary for a corporate gig.

Thanks again!

Hi all, I've always been interested in flying the biz jets. I'm trying to make the next right move in my career and was wondering what type of experience companies such as Chartright look for.. I'm building up some multiturboprop pic time.. should I continue down this road or move up to a 705 op? Wh...

On a side note that I just thought of..
My AIM a is from 2006
My Navcanada Weather guide is from 2003
My Aerocourse is the latest I believe, 4th edition book from 2006

So maybe it's just a matter of getting up to date material?

Hello studying for the A's and going through the Aerocourse books. question #88, section 3, pg 46 for those who don't have the book the question and answer is as follows Upper level Chart - Progs are prepared for flight levels 240, 340, and 450. What are the issue and validity times for these charts...

I find myself working hard sometimes to slow the plane down to get the gearspeed I need. ATC will tell me to keep my speed up and keep it in tight and I'll have to almost bring the powers to idle to get the gear down, then bring the powers back up to maintain my approach. so I guess gears always on ...

Anybody know what program they used to track those 215' across the ocean? must say it was much better then flightaware! flightaware swing and a miss. It looked like spot. I think that was actually SkyTrack satelite tracking. Thanks Niss and Brewhouse. Are these programs that you have to subscribe t...

Methinks it is just that, an airplane being built under license by another manufacturer. The Do-328 now being built by Antonov as the An-328 is a good recent example, I'm sure there are many more. Same basic aircraft design, maybe slight modification? As for the speeds, I flew an early model -350 a...

That's perfect thanks Rockie!

Thanks guys that gives me a better idea as to how it's used. One more question though, where does each aircraft's four letter ident come from for the SELCAL? I don't suppose the last four of the aircraft's reg would be used?

I've read the theory behind them in the AIM and Aerocourse books, I'm just wondering if someone could please explain a brief general description of what they are and how these are used in day to day operations!
Thanks!

Understood, thanks for the clarification!

From the AIM Ceiling: The lowest height at which a broken or overcast condition exists, or the vertical visibility when an obscured condition such as snow, smoke or fog exists, whichever is the lower. I guess this is why I'm confused with the original question, if the fog is at 5/8's would that not ...
