Question 1

What is the effect of tailwind on the time to climb to a given altitude?

Accepted Answer

The time to climb does not change

Answer

The time to climb increases

Answer

The time to climb decreases

Answer

The effect on the time to climb will depend on the helicopter type

Question 2

At unchanged TAS, configuration and rate of climb, a constant horizontal headwind will:

Accepted Answer

Increase the climb-flight-path angle relative to the ground

Answer

Increase the climb angle relative to the air mass

Answer

Increase the rate of climb

Answer

Shorten the time of climb

Question 3

The lowest point of the thrust required curve of a jet aeroplane is the point for:

Accepted Answer

Minimum drag

Answer

Maximum specific range

Answer

Minimum specific range

Answer

Minimum endurance

Question 4

Under the standard Part-CAT dry-runway dispatch rule for a performance class A turbojet aeroplane, without reduced landing distance approval, which statement concerning landing distance is correct?

Accepted Answer

When determining the maximum allowable landing mass at destination, 60% of the available landing runway length should be taken into account.

Answer

The landing distance is the distance from 35 ft above the surface of the runway to the full stop.

Answer

Malfunctioning of an anti-skid system has no effect on the required runway length.

Answer

Reverse thrust is one of the factors always taken into account when determining the landing distance required.

Question 5

As long as an aeroplane is in a positive climb:

Accepted Answer

VX is always below VY

Answer

VX may be greater or less than VY depending on altitude

Answer

VY is always above VMO

Answer

VX is always above VY

Question 6

For standard dry-runway performance class A turbojet dispatch, without reduced landing distance approval, what fraction of the LDA is the maximum permitted unfactored AFM landing distance from 50 ft?

Accepted Answer

0.60

Answer

115/100

Answer

1.67

Answer

60/115

Question 7

If the take-off mass of an aeroplane is tyre speed limited, downhill slope would:

Accepted Answer

Have no effect on the maximum mass for take-off

Answer

Increase the required take-off distance

Answer

Increase the maximum mass for take-off

Answer

Decrease the maximum mass for take-off

Question 8

For standard performance class A turbojet dispatch to a wet alternate runway, without approved wet-runway AFM data or reduced landing distance approval, the required LDA is the unfactored dry landing distance plus approximately:

Accepted Answer

92%

Answer

67%

Answer

70%

Answer

43%

Question 9

In relation to take-off mass limitations, which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

The climb limited take-off mass depends on pressure altitude and outside air temperature

Answer

The performance limited take-off mass is the highest of: field length limited take-off mass, climb limited take-off mass, obstacle limited take-off mass

Answer

The climb limited take-off mass will increase if the headwind component increases

Answer

The climb limited take-off mass increases when a larger take-off flap setting is used

Question 10

Under EASA AMC 25-13, reduced take-off thrust using the assumed-temperature method is not authorised when an inoperative item requires additional performance corrections that significantly increase crew workload. Which of these is an example of such an item?

Accepted Answer

Anti-skid is not usable

Answer

The runway is wet

Answer

It is dark

Answer

The OAT is ISA +10°C
