ATPL Performance Questions in English

Practise Performance

With flaps 10°, the AFM gives a runway-limited take-off mass of 5270 kg and an obstacle-limited mass of 4630 kg; the estimated mass is 5000 kg. For an aeroplane showing the usual approved trade-off between shorter take-off distance with more flap and better climb with less flap, which change tends to increase the obstacle limit at the expense of the runway limit? The revised AFM limits must still be checked before accepting 5000 kg. 4 Answers What effect has a tailwind on the maximum endurance speed? 4 Answers Maximum Tyre Speed can limit the Lift-off Speed. Which kind of speed can be directly used to determine this limitation? 4 Answers A higher pressure altitude at ISA temperature: 4 Answers An aeroplane executes a steady glide at the speed for minimum glide angle. If the forward speed is kept constant, what is the effect of a lower mass? Rate of descent / Glide angle / CL / CD ratio 4 Answers Which of the following factors leads to the maximum flight time of a glide? 4 Answers An aircraft has two certified landing flaps positions, 25° and 35°. If a pilot chooses 25° instead of 35°, the aircraft will have: 4 Answers If accelerate-stop distance data assume take-off power is set before brake release, will the published accelerate-stop distance still be achieved if the brakes are released before take-off power is set? 4 Answers Within the approved take-off flap range where additional flap improves field-length performance, what is the usual effect of the larger setting on required take-off distance and field-length-limited take-off mass, with other limits unchanged? 4 Answers During certification test flights for a turbojet aeroplane, the actual measured take-off runs from brake release to a point equidistant between the point at which VLOF is reached and the point at which the aeroplane is 35' above the take-off surface are: - 1747 m, all engines operating; - 1950 m, with the critical engine failure recognized at V1, the other factors remaining unchanged. Considering both possibilities to determine the take-off run (TOR). What is the correct distance? 4 Answers
