Not sure you need an Airbus type rating for the thrust and climb question unless the Airbus has a weird mode like stick = climb. Basic physics is all that's needed here.
That A320 question really is out to trick students with the 'fly-by-wire' highlight. Because it is just basic mechanics, no matter if it is on pure old elbow grease, FBW or with F-22/Su-35's thrust vectoring.
I had no idea what the correct answer was to any of the questions, I had to guess on each of them, and I got every question wrong. I can therefore announce to everyone else's great relief that I will not be flying any airplane soon and will stay out of all cockpits until I get an IQ infusion. The world is a much safer place with me on the ground watching Captian Joe videos.
You could just hit the books and make use of the IQ you already have. It's no surprise if you didn't have any prior knowledge to a new topic. It doesn't mean you're lacking as a person compared to others, other than knowledge and expertise which you can acquire over time with some effort. 😁
Hey man Greetings from India can you please explain about Compressor and Turbine stages of Gas Turbine Engine and maybe you can also briefly touch upon Turbo Prop engines like you had mentioned. I'm currently studying to become an AME. Thanks a lot Captain Joe.
Maybe im a bit of a nerd, I have a lowly PPL(H) and found these kind of obvious. Especially the A320 one where the aircraft is low, slow and critical AoA. The only choice is increasing speed. Obviously not pulling up... like those S7 pros after the bird strike. Maybe I need to reassess taking the exams for CPL
OK i'm at PPL theory level right now and only the last one was out of my depth. Which is unusual as one of the questions is based on multiengine. Is my school jumping too far forward?
The skid question was only a bit difficult because here in the USA the term skid is used a little different from how I interpreted the question-answer set. I figured out what they were intending, but that diffence did slow me down a bit.
Dear Joe, I'm sure if I get it right, but I can't find the sketch Fabi mentioned in 09:26. Is it the one in 08:53 or 09:02? I highly doubt that. And there should be a detailed explanation of the compressor question in the comment section. I'm unable to find it either.
Just using intuition and not knowledge, do the 'critical engine' even make a difference to that question (219782)? Wouldn't "Aft CG, skid toward the failed engine" be just as correct?
Well as a PPL holder I scored 5; my answers were based on first principles of flight and mechanical knowledge. Listening to Joe and Fabi I got to the correct answers via different approach methods especially where they started talking about thrust vectors on propellors. Question 1 : I concluded rely on eyes alone Question 2 : auto pilot braking versus manual I concluded you would want as much as possible to be able to emulate manually what the auto pilot does. Question 3: As Fabi stated thrust (energy) is everything and thrust is equatable to generating lift and assuming you know how to apply control surfaces, on a simple aircraft one pushes the nose forward to build speed. Question 4 : Well with that one I visualized in my head what the attitude of the aircraft is doing; i.e is it nose heavy or tail heavy and with loss of power what does the aircraft tend to do. Question 5: With regards Compressors I figured the rotor pushes air on to the stator for cooling. So in conclusion I got there by different reasoning which might not always yeald the correct answer but interesting exercise non the less. 👍✈️
Using reverse thrust will not reduce your brake pressure or does it? I thought you just don't have to get all that kinetic energy out of the aircraft using the tire brakes only, which means they don't heat up that much
it is interesting to see as an aircraft mechanic, that pilots even have to know, how axial compressor and turbine blades are positioned in the engine`s airflow
Great video. Same improvement comment to earlier video. Q219325 the picture is such a low quality that you can not enlarge and still read it. as such I could hardly see it and surely not answer it.
