Question 1

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 2

What is the most important aspect of the 'backside of the power curve'?

Accepted Answer

The speed is unstable.

Answer

The altitude cannot be maintained.

Answer

The aeroplane will not stall.

Answer

The elevator must be pulled to lower the nose.

Question 3

If other factors are unchanged, the fuel mileage (nautical miles per kg) is:

Accepted Answer

Lower with a forward centre of gravity position

Answer

Independent from the centre of gravity position

Answer

Lower with an aft centre of gravity position

Answer

Higher with a forward centre of gravity position

Question 4

What is the equation for the climb gradient expressed in percentage during unaccelerated flight (applicable to small angles only)?

Accepted Answer

Climb Gradient = ((Thrust - Drag) / Weight) x 100

Answer

Climb Gradient = (Lift / Weight) x 100

Answer

Climb Gradient = ((Thrust - Mass) / Lift) x 100

Answer

Climb Gradient = ((Thrust + Drag) / Lift) x 100

Question 5

A headwind will:

Accepted Answer

Increase the climb flight path angle

Answer

Increase the angle of climb

Answer

Increase the rate of climb

Answer

Shorten the time of climb

Question 6

According to PART-CAT, for turbo-prop aeroplanes, the required runway length at a destination airport is:

Accepted Answer

The same as that required at an alternate airport.

Answer

Less then that required at an alternate airport.

Answer

More than that required at an alternate airport.

Answer

60% greater than that required at an alternate airport

Question 7

On a long distance flight the gross mass decreases continuously as a consequence of the fuel consumption. The result is:

Accepted Answer

The specific range and the optimum altitude increase.

Answer

The specific range increases and the optimum altitude decreases.

Answer

The speed must be increased to compensate the lower mass.

Answer

The specific range decreases and the optimum altitude increases.

Question 8

Considering a rate of climb diagram (ROC versus TAS) for an aeroplane. Which of the diagrams shows the correct curves for 'flaps down' compared to 'clean' configuration?

Accepted Answer

A

Answer

B

Answer

C

Answer

D

Question 9

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 10

During certification flight testing on a four engine turbojet aeroplane the actual take-off distances measured are: -3050 m with failure of the critical engine recognised at V1; -2555 m with all engines operating and all other things being equal. The take-off distance adopted for the certification file is:

Accepted Answer

3050 m

Answer

3513 m

Answer

2938 m

Answer

2555 m
