Question 1

The take-off runway performance requirements for transport category aeroplanes are based upon:

Accepted Answer

Failure of the critical engine or all engines operating whichever requirement gives the greater distance

Answer

All engines operating only

Answer

One engine inoperative only

Answer

Failure of the critical engine only

Question 2

What is the influence of the mass on maximum rate of climb (ROC) speed if all other parameters remain constant?

Accepted Answer

The ROC speed increases with increasing mass

Answer

The ROC is affected by the mass, but not the ROC speed

Answer

The ROC speed decreases with increasing mass

Answer

The ROC and the ROC speed are independent of the mass

Question 3

ETOPS flight is a twin engine jet aeroplane flight conducted over a route, where no suitable airport is within an area of:

Accepted Answer

60 minutes flying time in still air at the approved one engine out cruise speed

Answer

60 minutes flying time in still air at the normal cruising speed

Answer

30 minutes flying time at the normal cruising speed

Answer

75 minutes flying time at the approved one engine out cruise speed

Question 4

Which of the following statements is applicable to the acceleration height at the beginning of the 3rd climb segment?

Accepted Answer

The maximum acceleration height depends on the maximum time take-off thrust may be applied

Answer

There is no requirement for minimum climb performance when flying at the acceleration height

Answer

The minimum legally allowed acceleration height is at 1500'

Answer

The minimum one engine out acceleration height must be maintained in case of all engines operating

Question 5

A jet aeroplane is climbing with constant IAS. Which operational speed limit is most likely to be reached?

Accepted Answer

The Maximum operating Mach number

Answer

The Stalling speed

Answer

The Mach limit for the Mach trim system

Answer

The Minimum control speed air

Question 6

Is there any difference between the vertical speed versus forward speed curves for two identical aeroplanes having different masses? (assume zero thrust and wind)

Accepted Answer

Yes, the difference is that for a given angle of attack both the vertical and forward speeds of the heavier aeroplane will be larger.

Answer

Yes, the difference is that the heavier aeroplane will always glide a greater distance.

Answer

No difference.

Answer

Yes, the difference is that the lighter aeroplane will always glide a greater distance.

Question 7

Long range cruise is selected as

Accepted Answer

The higher speed to achieve 99% of maximum specific range in zero wind.

Answer

The climbing cruise with one or two engines inoperative.

Answer

The speed for best economy.

Answer

Specific range with tailwind.

Question 8

In which of the following distances can the length of a stopway be included?

Accepted Answer

In the accelerate-stop distance available

Answer

In the one-engine failure case, take-off distance

Answer

In the take-off run available

Answer

In the all-engine take-off distance

Question 9

The thrust of a jet engine at constant RPM

Accepted Answer

Increases in proportion to the airspeed.

Answer

Is inversely proportional to the airspeed.

Answer

Is independent of the airspeed.

Answer

Does not change with changing altitude.

Question 10

If the climb speed schedule is changed from 280/.74 to 290/.74 the new crossover altitude will be:

Accepted Answer

Lower

Answer

Higher

Answer

Only affected by the aeroplane gross mass

Answer

Unchanged
