Answer

any airspeed if the runway is long

Answer

unfinished configuration and large late corrections

Answer

a descent path that can be corrected only by abrupt last-second manoeuvres

Question 5

In a tricycle-gear aeroplane, wake vortices become particularly relevant during take-off as rotation increases wing lift. Which visible event marks that rotation?

Accepted Answer

The nosewheel lifts as the aeroplane rotates.

Answer

Reaches an altitude of 15 ft.

Answer

Question 8

What should a light-aircraft pilot consider when taxiing behind a large jet?

Accepted Answer

Keep clear of jet blast and follow applicable instructions and safe spacing for the aircraft and power setting; no single distance covers every case.

Answer

Answer

Jet blast is harmless whenever the preceding aircraft is on the ground.
