1) When flying the "Backside of Thrust curve" means:
2) On a twin engine piston aircraft with variable pitch propellers, for a given mass and altitude, the minimum drag speed is 125 kt and the holding speed (minimum fuel burn per hour) is 95 kt.The best rate of climb speed will be obtained for a speed:
3) During climb to the cruising level, a headwind component:
4) An aeroplane is in a power off glide at speed for minimum glide angle. If the pilot increases pitch attitude the glide distance:
5) In order to provide an adequate "buffet boundary" at the commencement of the cruise a speed of 1.3Vs is used. At a mass of 120000 kg this is a CAS of 180 knots. If the mass of the aeroplane is increased to 135000 kg the value of 1.3Vs will be:
