ATPL Performance Questions in English

Practise Performance

Which of the following combinations basically has an effect on the angle of descent in a glide? (Ignore compressibility effects.) 4 Answers Consider the graphic representation of the power required versus true air speed (TAS), for a piston engine aeroplane with a given mass. When drawing the tangent from the origin, the point of contact (A) determines the speed of: 4 Answers The optimum altitude: 4 Answers For a conventional aeroplane with certified landing flap positions of 25° and 35°, assume the usual trade-off: the greater extension permits a lower approach speed but produces more drag. Compare landing distance and initial go-around performance before flap retraction. Under otherwise comparable conditions, selecting 35° instead of 25° normally gives: 4 Answers What will be the effect on an aeroplane's performance if aerodrome pressure altitude is decreased? 4 Answers Considering VR, which statement is correct? 4 Answers Complete this statement for a CS-25 dry-runway accelerate-stop assessment: the first action to reject the take-off is taken at (i) ___; the calculated stopping distance includes an additional distance equivalent to (ii) ___ at that speed; and the required distance must not exceed the (iii) ___. 4 Answers During the flight preparation the climb limited take-off mass (TOM) is found to be much greater than the field length limited TOM using 5° flap. In what way can the performance limited TOM be increased? There are no limiting obstacles. 4 Answers The stopway is an area which allows an increase only in the: 4 Answers In the elementary constant-force runway model, with fixed take-off and decision speeds and an unchanged airborne portion, an uphill slope reduces acceleration but assists braking. Compared with a level runway, which effect follows? 4 Answers
