Accepted Answer

Stalling speeds will be higher.

Answer

Flight endurance will be increased.

Answer

Gradient of climb for a given power setting will be higher.

Answer

Stalling speeds will be lower.

Question 4

Aeroplane Dry Operating mass 85000 kg Performance limited take-off mass 127000 kg Performance limited landing mass 98500 kg Maximum zero fuel mass 89800 kg.

Accepted Answer

4800 kg

Answer

6300 kg

Answer

7100 kg

Answer

12700 kg

Question 5

To measure the mass and CG-position of an aircraft, it should be weighed with a minimum of:

Accepted Answer

3 points of support

Answer

4 point of support

Answer

1 point of support

Answer

2 points of support

Question 6

The actual 'Take-off Mass' is equivalent to:

Accepted Answer

Dry Operating Mass plus take-off fuel and the traffic load

Answer

Actual Zero Fuel Mass plus the traffic load

Answer

Dry Operating Mass plus the take-off fuel

Answer

Actual Landing Mass plus the take-off fuel

Question 7

To calculate a allowable take-off mass, the factors to be taken into account include:

Accepted Answer

The sum of the maximum landing mass and the trip fuel.

Answer

The sum of the maximum landing mass and the fuel on board at take-off.

Answer

The sum of the maximum zero fuel mass and the trip fuel.

Answer

The maximum take-off mass minus the trip fuel.

Question 8

An aeroplane is performance limited to a landing mass of 54230 kg. The Dry Operating Mass is 35000 kg and the zero fuel mass is 52080 kg. If the take-off mass is 64280 kg the useful load is

Accepted Answer

29280 kg.

Answer

10080 kg.

Answer

12200 kg.

Answer

17080 kg

Question 9

Length of the mean aerodynamic chord = 1 m Moment arm of the forward cargo: -0,50 m Moment arm of the aft cargo: + 2,50 m. The aircraft mass is 2 200 kg and its centre of gravity is at 25% MAC. To move the centre of gravity to 40%, which mass has to be transferred from the forward to the aft cargo hold?

Accepted Answer

110 kg

Answer

104 kg

Answer

165 kg

Answer

183 kg

Question 10

The centre of gravity of an aeroplane is at 25% of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord. This means that the centre of gravity of the aeroplane is situated at 25% of the length of:

Accepted Answer

The mean aerodynamic chord in relation to the leading edge

Answer

The mean aerodynamic chord in relation to the datum

Answer

The mean aerodynamic chord in relation to the trailing edge

Answer

The aeroplane in relation to the leading edge
