ATPL Performance Questions in English

Practise Performance

Assuming both flight levels are permitted by all aircraft and operational limits, which wind condition could make cruising 4000 ft or more below the still-air optimum altitude more fuel-efficient over the ground, if the wind benefit outweighs the lower-altitude fuel penalty? 4 Answers The drift down procedure specifies requirements concerning the: 4 Answers In the quasi-steady descent approximation, an aeroplane descends from FL410 to FL270 at constant Mach, then to FL100 at constant IAS. Assume fixed mass and clean configuration, negligible idle thrust and kinetic-energy corrections, incompressible flow, and flight on the high-speed side of minimum drag. How does the descent angle change in the first and second parts? 4 Answers The induced drag of an aeroplane: 4 Answers What will be the influence on the aeroplane performance if aerodrome pressure altitude is increased? 4 Answers An increase in atmospheric pressure has, among other things, the following consequences on take-off performance: 4 Answers On a reciprocating engine aeroplane, with increasing altitude at constant gross mass, angle of attack and configuration the power required: 4 Answers The speed V1 is defined as: 4 Answers Which of the following combinations adversely affects take-off and initial climb performance? 4 Answers For the fictional MEP1 aeroplane in CAA CAP698, using the prescribed surface and slope corrections on a dry runway, which of the following increases the calculated accelerate-stop distance? 4 Answers
