I have the great opportunity to interview with Delta in the next month and I have some questions about the gouge.
I have been looking over the gouge and have been finding conflicting information in some of the answers.
1. I thought under inflated tires would cause a lower dynamic hydroplaning speed? I thought the equation was something like: 8.76 times the square route of main gear tire pressure. Wouldn't that mean over inflated tires hydroplane at higher speeds?
2. I have been instructed both ways to fly runway heading and I cannot find the answer. Do you use wind correction angle after takeoff when assigned runway heading?
3. Every airplane I have flown has dispensed the fire extinguisher fluid between the cowl and the engine. Is it possible there are jets that indeed extinguish directly into the combustion chamber as one person stated?
Maybe I'm just getting nervous, but I would feel better resolving these questions before my big day.
Thanks in advance for your input!
