Question 1

What will be the influence on the aeroplane performance if aerodrome pressure altitude is increased?

Accepted Answer

It will increase the take-off distance

Answer

It will increase the take-off distance available

Answer

It will decrease the take-off distance

Answer

It will decrease the take-off run

Question 2

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 3

Following a take-off determined by the 50' (15 m) screen height, a light twin climbs on a 10% over-the-ground climb gradient. It will clear a 900 m high obstacle in relation to the runway (horizontally), situated at 10000 m from the 50' clearing point with an obstacle clearance of:

Accepted Answer

115 m

Answer

100 m

Answer

It will not clear the obstacle

Answer

85 m

Question 4

The force exactly opposing and balance lift in a glide descent is:

Accepted Answer

Weight x cos(angle of descent)

Answer

Thrust x sin(angle of descent)

Answer

Weight x sin(angle of descent)

Answer

Thrust x cos(angle of descent)

Question 5

Why are 'step climbs' used on long distance flights?

Accepted Answer

To fly as close as possible to the optimum altitude as aeroplane mass reduces.

Answer

To respect ATC flight level constraints.

Answer

Step climbs do not have any special purpose for jet aeroplanes

Answer

They are used for piston engine aeroplanes only.

Question 6

With all engines out, a pilot wants to fly for maximum time. Therefore he has to fly the speed corresponding to:

Accepted Answer

The minimum power required

Answer

The maximum lift

Answer

The minimum angle of descent

Answer

The critical Mach number

Question 7

Considering VR, which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

VR is the speed at which rotation should be initiated

Answer

VR is the lowest climb speed after engine failure

Answer

In case of engine failure below VR the take-off should be aborted

Answer

VR is the lowest speed for directional control in case of engine failure

Question 8

The centre of gravity near, but still within, the aft limit:

Accepted Answer

Improves the maximum range

Answer

Increases the stalling speed

Answer

Improves the longitudinal stability

Answer

Decreases the maximum range

Question 9

If the thrust available exceeds the thrust required for level flight

Accepted Answer

The aeroplane accelerates if the altitude is maintained.

Answer

The aeroplane descends if the airspeed is maintained.

Answer

The aeroplane decelerates if the altitude is maintained.

Answer

The aeroplane decelerates if it is in the region of reversed command.

Question 10

The approach climb requirement has been established to ensure:

Accepted Answer

Minimum climb gradient in case of a go-around with one engine inoperative.

Answer

Manoeuvrability during approach with full flaps and gear down, all engines operating.

Answer

Manoeuvrability in case of landing with one engine inoperative.

Answer

Obstacle clearance in the approach area.
