Question 1

The length of a clearway may be included in:

Accepted Answer

The take-off distance available

Answer

The distance to reach V1

Answer

The take-off run available

Answer

The accelerate-stop distance available

Question 2

The optimum cruise altitude increases

Accepted Answer

If the aeroplane mass is decreased.

Answer

If the temperature (OAT) is increased.

Answer

If the tailwind component is decreased.

Answer

If the aeroplane mass is increased.

Question 3

The optimum long-range cruise altitude for a turbojet aeroplane:

Accepted Answer

Increases when the aeroplane mass decreases

Answer

Is always equal to the powerplant ceiling

Answer

Is independent of the aeroplane mass

Answer

Is only dependent on the outside air temperature

Question 4

If a flight is performed with a higher 'Cost Index' at a given mass which of the following will occur?

Accepted Answer

A higher cruise Mach number.

Answer

A lower cruise Mach number.

Answer

An increased maximum range.

Answer

An increased long range performance.

Question 5

The tangent from the origin to the power required against true airspeed curve, for a jet aeroplane, determines the speed for:

Accepted Answer

Maximum endurance

Answer

Critical angle of attack

Answer

Maximum specific range

Answer

Minimum power

Question 6

Refer to Performance Manual MEP1 Figure 3.1 Normal Procedure Given: OAT 24 °C; Pressure Altitude: 3000 ft; RWY 30R; Wind 060/04 KT; Take-off Mass: 3800 lbs. Other conditions as associated in the header of the graph. What is the Ground Roll Distance under the conditions given?

Accepted Answer

1670 ft

Answer

2000 ft

Answer

1780 ft

Answer

2150 ft

Question 7

Which of the following statements, concerning the obstacle limited take-off mass for performance class A aeroplane, is correct?

Accepted Answer

It should be determined on the basis of a 35 ft obstacle clearance with the respect to the 'net take-off flight path'

Answer

It should be calculated in such a way that there is a margin of 50 ft with respect to the 'net take-off flight path'

Answer

It should not be corrected for 30° bank turns in the take-off path

Answer

It cannot be lower than the corresponding climb limited take-off mass

Question 8

Which statement is correct for a descent without engine thrust at maximum lift to drag ratio speed?

Accepted Answer

The higher the gross mass the greater is the speed for descent.

Answer

The higher the gross mass the lower is the speed for descent.

Answer

The higher the average temperature (OAT) the lower is the speed for descent.

Answer

The mass of an aeroplane does not have any effect on the speed for descent.

Question 9

How does the best angle of climb and best rate of climb vary with increasing altitude for an aeroplane with a normal aspirated piston engine?

Accepted Answer

Both decrease

Answer

Both increase

Answer

Best angle of climb increases while best rate of climb decreases

Answer

Best angle of climb decreases while best rate of climb increases

Question 10

Long range cruise is a flight procedure which gives:

Accepted Answer

A specific range which is approximately 99% of maximum specific range and a higher cruise speed

Answer

A specific range which is approximately 99% of maximum specific range and a lower cruise speed

Answer

An IAS which is 1% higher than the IAS for maximum specific range

Answer

A 1% higher TAS for maximum specific range
