Angle of attack is the angle between the chord of the aerofoil and the relative airflow.
Angle of incidence is the angle between the chord and the aircrafts longitudinal datum.
When an aircraft climbs, the static pressure in the instrument case decreases, which allows the enclosed capsule to expand.
This in turn moves the needle on the instrument to indicate a corresponding altitude.
During descent, the opposite function applies.
Altimeter errors can originate and vary from:
Instrument Pressure Time-lag Barometric Density Temperature Blocked static port
Via INS/IRS/GPS

V1 is lower when the runway is wet than when the runway is dry, because of the longer ASDR on a wet runway.
Fusible plugs offer protection from tire blowouts caused by thermal expansion that is generated in the tire under extra hard braking conditions.
The position of the CG directly influences the fuel consumption of an aircraft. An aft position of the CG makes the aircraft less stable, requiring less lift to be generated in both the horizontal stabilizer and wings, reducing the overall drag of the aircraft, and increasing the max range.
You want to load the the aircraft so that the CG is at, or as close as possible, to the aft limit (Without exceeding it).
In Newfoundland. With cold weather density increases, therefore you would pick up a higher mass in Newfoundland.
A swept wing makes the velocity vector normal to the leading edge a shorter distance than the chordwise resultant.
