Matt's sim is very well known in the world of Aerowinx simulator users. Precision Simulator itself is the core, a magnificent piece of software, that runs best on a 10 year old P1 with Win98. No visuals but very accurate 747 system and flightmodel simulation. Every year they organize a round the wor...

The lift of a stalled wing does not necessarily drop to 0. The lift drops faster with increase of AoA, that's true. Remember, the curve lift vs AoA continues above the stall AoA, although you notice the lift dropping. Ie in a spin, both wings create lift indeed, it's the difference in amount of lift...

It all depends on the aircraft specific and company procedures. For the 737, I should check it but I don't think we have packs off procedures. We do have a bleeds off takeoff procedure which we can use when we need the performance. Normally the APU will remain running and bleed air from the APU will...

You cannot have a doctor on every flight, and training cabin crew to apply professional medical assistance is impossible as well. Drugs are simply to dangerous to have somebody use them without the required training. Cabin crew are trained to identify different types of medical emergencies, one of t...

Yes, but you need to look at the angle of attack. This drawing shows the situation (spin to the right): http://www.av8n.com/how/htm/spins.html#fig-steady-spin The downward velocity is the same, but there is also a forward velocity in the turn. The result is a higher angle of attack for the inboard w...

A spin is a state of autorotation and to understand the spin, you need to know why the autorotation develops. In an unstalled condition, lift and drag increase together. If lift increases, drag increases as well. In a stalled condition, lift and drag react the other way around. Remember that once a ...

The steeling on board airplanes is not a Ryanair problem, it is a problem for EVERY airline. There are spare vests and seatbelts (including the seatbelts for children) on board although I'm getting scared to say where. Before each flight cabin crew does a security check, and they also count all spar...

Standard taxi fuel for a 737 on OFP's: 250kg-300kg? Suppose you are a small charter company, 5 737's in your fleet, 3 destinations a day (so 6 taxi procedures to do). 250 x 5 x 3 x 2 = 7500kg of fuel on ONE day. With 7500kg of fuel you can get a long way with a 737... Try the same calculation for a ...

I presume the cabin attendant made a small mistake. If the FSB goes on, usually the purser contacts the pilots. If it's turbulence, they need to know if they can continue distributing meals, drinks, selling tax-free stuff... or if it's safer to stow things (for this reason they also need to know how...
