Question 1

The term "datum" with regard to a mass and balance calculation defines...

Accepted Answer

The point on the longitudinal axis of an aeroplane or its extension from which the centers of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Answer

The point on the lateral axis of an aeroplane or its extension from which the centers of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Answer

The point on the vertical axis of an aeroplane or its extension from which the centers of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Answer

The distance from the reference plane to the center of gravity of an aircraft.

Question 2

(For this question, please use annex PFP-062) According ICAO, what symbol indicates a civil airport (not international airport) with paved runway?

Accepted Answer

A

Answer

D

Answer

B

Answer

C

Question 3

How does air temperature affect the performance of a piston engine?

Accepted Answer

Higher temperature equals lower air density, this leads to lower engine performance

Answer

Lower temperature equals higher air density, this leads to lower engine performance

Answer

Higher temperature equals higher air density, this leads to higher engine performance

Answer

Lower temperature equals lower air density, this leads to higher engine performance

Question 4

The term "center of gravity" is defined as...

Accepted Answer

The point at which the total mass of the aeroplane is considered to act.

Answer

The heaviest point on an aeroplane.

Answer

Half the distance between the neutral point and the datum line.

Answer

Another designation for the neutral point.

Question 8

(For this question, use attachment or CAP697 SEP1 Fig. 2.2 Table 2.2.3) Planning a flight from EDWH (Oldenburg Hatten) to EDWF (Leer Papenburg), the following conditions apply: Cruise level = FL 65 Temperature = ISA+20 Cruise weight = 3400 lbs Power setting = 23.0 in. HG @ 2300 RPM What Indicated Airspeed (IAS) and Fuel Flow (FF) can be expected?

Accepted Answer

IAS = 142 kt FF = 11.5 GPH

Answer

IAS = 145 kt FF = 11.9 GPH
