Question 1

Which take-off speed is affected by the presence or absence of stopway and / or clearway?

Accepted Answer

V1

Answer

VMCA

Answer

VMCG

Answer

V2

Question 2

A runway is contaminated by a 0.5 cm layer of wet snow. The take-off is nevertheless authorized by a light-twin's flight manual. The take-off distance in relation to a dry runway will be:

Accepted Answer

Increased

Answer

Unchanged

Answer

Decreased

Answer

Very significantly decreased

Question 3

The landing field length required for turbojet aeroplanes at the destination (wet condition) is the demonstrated landing distance plus:

Accepted Answer

92%

Answer

67%

Answer

43%

Answer

70%

Question 4

With regard to the drift down performance of the twin jet aeroplane, what is meant by 'equivalent gross weight at engine failure'?

Accepted Answer

The equivalent gross weight at engine failure is the actual gross weight corrected for OAT higher than ISA +10°C

Answer

The increment represents fuel used before engine failure

Answer

The increment accounts for the higher fuel flow at higher temperatures

Answer

This gross weight accounts for the lower Mach number at higher temperatures

Question 5

The use of reduced take-off thrust is permitted, only if:

Accepted Answer

The actual take-off mass (TOM) is lower than the field length limited TOM

Answer

The actual take-off mass (TOM) including a margin is greater than the performance limited TOM

Answer

The take-off distance available is lower than the take-off distance required one engine out at V1

Answer

The actual take-off mass (TOM) is greater than the climb limited TOM

Question 6

A lower airspeed at constant mass and altitude requires:

Accepted Answer

A higher coefficient of lift

Answer

Less thrust and a lower coefficient of lift

Answer

More thrust and a lower coefficient of drag

Answer

More thrust and a lower coefficient of lift

Question 7

The take-off mass of an aeroplane is restricted by the climb limit. What would be the effect on this limit of an increase in the headwind component?

Accepted Answer

None

Answer

The climb limited take-off mass would increase

Answer

The effect would vary depending upon the height of any obstacle within the net take-off flight path

Answer

The climb limited take-off mass would decrease

Question 8

Which combination of circumstances or conditions would most likely lead to a tyre speed limited take-off?

Accepted Answer

A high runway elevation and tailwind

Answer

A low runway elevation and a headwind

Answer

A high runway elevation and a headwind

Answer

A low runway elevation and a cross wind

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

The danger associated with low speed and/or high speed buffet

Accepted Answer

Limits the manoeuvring load factor at high altitudes.

Answer

Can be reduced by increasing the load factor.

Answer

Has to be considered at take-off and landing.

Answer

Exists only above MMO.
