In this picture it show a lot of trees‚ snow and a single cabin

Problem-Solving Exercise 1 1. In your own words‚ explain what density altitude is and how it affects your airplane. Density altitude‚ or "Pressure Altitude"‚ is the density of air given as a height above Mean Sea Level (MSL). Density altitude affects the wings ability to create lift‚ the aircrafts propeller to create thrust and the power output of the engine. 2. In your own words‚ explain the theory of lift and what basic laws are involved. In my opinion lift can be explained by

feet above the ground they pulled 2 G’s which caused the stick shakers to activate. The pilots were obviously out to see what this jet could do since there were no other souls on board. Their planned altitude was thirty three thousand feet for the remainder of the flight. While climbing to that altitude around fifteen thousand feet they pulled 2.3 g’s and had a ten thousand feet per minute rate of climb‚ which caused the stick shakers to activate for a second time. Once again they pulled back and climbed

Illnesses like HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) and HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema) are a result from large exposure to high altitudes and are very deadly‚ even to well acclimated sherpas such as Ngawang Topche. Above twenty-five thousand feet is known as the “Death Zone.” Climbers become so impaired due to

radiation can be harmful to the skin and is the main cause of sunburn; excessive exposure can also cause genetic damage‚ resulting in problems such as skin cancer. The ozone layer is higher in altitude in the tropics‚ and lower in altitude in the extratropics‚ especially in the polar regions. This altitude variation of ozone results from the slow The ozone layer can be depleted by free radical catalysts‚ including nitric oxide (NO)‚ nitrous oxide (N2O)‚ hydroxyl (OH)‚ atomic chlorine (Cl)‚ and
