So I purchased the Sheppard's Air exam guide and I now know why people recommend it. I will recommend to all my friends, and will NOT recommend it to anyone above me in seniority!
So I ask help with a question (answer in
bold is correct):
Which maximum range factor decreases as weight decreases?
a. Angle of Attack
b. Altitude
C. AIRSPEED
"So...if were talking about maximum range; as we burn enroute fuel, our aircraft gets lighter. If our aircraft it lighter it will travel faster, correct? So wouldn't it be beneficial to us to have a lighter aircraft, equalling faster airspeed thence increasing range?" I am missing something? Why is maximum range decreased when we're lighter?
