Question 1

Which statement with respect to the step climb is correct?

Accepted Answer

Executing a desired step climb at high altitude can be limited by buffet onset at g-loads greater than 1

Answer

A step climb is executed in principle when, just after levelling off, the 1.3g altitude is reached

Answer

A step climb is executed because ATC desires a higher altitude

Answer

A step climb must be executed immediately after the aeroplane has exceeded the optimum altitude

Question 2

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 3

Which statement regarding V1 is correct?

Accepted Answer

V1 must not exceed VR

Answer

V1 must not exceed VMCG

Answer

The V1 correction for up-slope is negative

Answer

When determining the V1, reverse thrust is only allowed to be taken into account on the remaining symmetric engines

Question 4

The pilot of a single engine aircraft has established the climb performance.The carriage of an additional passenger will cause the climb performance to be:

Accepted Answer

Degraded

Answer

Improved

Answer

Unchanged

Answer

Unchanged, if a short field take-off is adopted

Question 5

The maximum mass for landing could be limited by

Accepted Answer

The climb requirements with one engine inoperative in the approach configuration.

Answer

The climb requirements with one engine inoperative in the landing configuration.

Answer

The climb requirements with all engines in the landing configuration but with gear up.

Answer

The climb requirements with all engines in the approach configuration.

Question 6

Which of the following three speeds of a jet aeroplane are basically identical? The speeds for:

Accepted Answer

Holding, maximum climb angle and minimum glide angle

Answer

Maximum drag, maximum endurance and maximum climb angle

Answer

Maximum range, minimum drag and minimum glide angle

Answer

Maximum climb angle, minimum glide angle and maximum range

Question 7

The maximum operating altitude for a certain aeroplane with a pressurised cabin

Accepted Answer

Is the highest pressure altitude certified for normal operation.

Answer

Is dependent on aerodynamic ceiling.

Answer

Is only certified for four-engine aeroplanes.

Answer

Is dependent on the OAT.

Question 8

The net flight path gradient after take-off compared to the actual climb gradient is:

Accepted Answer

Smaller

Answer

Depends on type of aircraft and may be smaller or larger respectively

Answer

Equal

Answer

Larger

Question 9

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 10

Which of the following represents the minimum for V1?

Accepted Answer

VMCG

Answer

VMU

Answer

VLOF

Answer

VR
