-
Will the engine still run if the master switch is turned off?
Yes. The engine operates on fuel flow and magnetos. Magnetos produce the spark for ignition as long as the engine is rotating. Thus, an aircraft can lose all electrical, i.e. master switch off, and still run.
-
What are wing tip vortices? With which aircraft are they the greatest?
- All wings create wing tip vortices as long as they are creating lift. The left wing will create a clockwise spinning vortices and the right wing a counter clockwise vortices as viewed from behind. Large, heavy planes/jets create the greatest vortices thus the greatest wake turbulence.
- Vortices tend to rise and then fall behind the creating aircraft and can be deadly upon final approach, landing, or take off. Since the vortices tend to fall and are no longer created by the aircraft while it is on the ground, it is best to land farther down the runway than the heavy craft, or to rotate on takeoff on the runway prior to the place where the vortices creating craft rotated previously.
