22.20 Climbing and Descending

22.20.2 Identify the forces acting in a steady climb.

22.20.4 Given typical power required and power available curves, explain:

(a) how a curve of excess power available (EP) can be derived;

(b) where the speeds for maximum rate of climb, and maximum angle of climb occur on the EP curve.

22.20.6 State what the Vx and Vy speeds are and differentiate between these speeds and the normal climb speed.

22.20.8 Define absolute ceiling and service ceiling.
