Question 1

A 'Balanced Field Length' is said to exist where:

Accepted Answer

The accelerate-stop distance is equal to the take-off distance available

Answer

The clearway does not equal the stopway

Answer

The accelerate-stop distance is equal to the all engine take-off distance

Answer

The one engine out take-off distance is equal to the all engine take-off distance

Question 2

The optimum altitude:

Accepted Answer

Increases as mass decreases and is the altitude at which the specific range reaches its maximum

Answer

Decreases as mass decreases

Answer

Is the altitude up to which cabin pressure of 8 000 ft can be maintained

Answer

Is the altitude at which the specific range reaches its minimum

Question 3

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

Question 4

On a dry runway the accelerate-stop distance is increased:

Accepted Answer

By uphill slope

Answer

By headwind

Answer

By a lower take-off mass because the aeroplane accelerates faster to V1

Answer

By low outside air temperature

Question 5

The stopway is an area which allows an increase only in the:

Accepted Answer

Accelerate-stop distance available

Answer

Landing distance available

Answer

Take-off distance available

Answer

Take-off run available

Question 6

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

Question 7

What effect has a tailwind on the maximum endurance speed?

Accepted Answer

No effect

Answer

The IAS will be decreased

Answer

The IAS will be increased

Answer

Tailwind only effects holding speed

Question 8

Which of the following sets of factors will increase the climb-limited TOM (every factor considered independently)?

Accepted Answer

Low flap setting, low pressure altitude, low OAT

Answer

Low flap setting, high pressure altitude, low OAT

Answer

Low flap setting, high pressure altitude, high OAT

Answer

High flap setting, low pressure altitude, low OAT

Question 9

During climb to the cruising level, a headwind component:

Accepted Answer

Decreases the ground distance flown during that climb

Answer

Increases the climb time

Answer

Increases the amount of fuel for the climb

Answer

Decreases the climb time

Question 10

The drift down requirements are based on:

Accepted Answer

The obstacle clearance during a descent to the new cruising altitude if an engine has failed

Answer

The landing mass limit at the alternate

Answer

The maximum flight path gradient during the descent

Answer

The actual engine thrust output at the altitude of engine failure
