Answer: A center of gravity forward of the center of pressure will cause a higher stall speed. A center of gravity aft of the center of pressure will cause a lower stall speed.

7 - What are the three types of aquaplaning (hydroplaning)?
Answer:
1 - Dynamic (standing water on the runway)
2 - Viscous - This occurs when the surface is damp and provides a very thin film of fluid that cannot be penetrated by the tire.
3 - Reveted rubber. This refers to tires becoming tacky.

8 - Timing on outbound leg in holding above 14,000 feet?
Answer: 1 minute an 30 seconds

9 - What is aspect ratio?
Answer: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the wing's span to its geometric chord.

10 - What is inter - tropical Convergence Zone?
Answer: Near the equator, from about 5° north and 5° south, the northeast trade winds and southeast trade winds converge in a low pressure zone known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ. Solar heating in the region forces air to rise through convection which results in a plethora of precipitation. The ITCZ is a key component of the global circulation system.

11 - What equipment does the 777 have to help detect Wind Shear?
Answer: Boeing 777 is equipped with a device known as the predictive wind shear warning system. This system uses wind velocity data gathered by the weather radar system to identify the existence of wind shear.
