Question 1

Two aircraft of the same type, same grossweight and same configuration fly at different airspeeds. Which aircraft will cause more severe wake turbulence?

Accepted Answer

The aircraft flying at slower speed.

Answer

The aircraft flying at lower altitude.

Answer

The aircraft flying at higher altitude.

Answer

The aircraft flying at higher speed.

Question 2

With only a slight crosswind, what is the danger at take-off after the departure of a heavy aeroplane?

Accepted Answer

In calm wind in cold weather

Question 8

Wake turbulence is caused by...

Accepted Answer

Answer

Turbulence at the downwind side of a mountain range.

Answer

Wind shear at the wingtip of an aerofoil.

Question 9

After take-off an aeroplane gets into a wind shear with decreasing headwind. As a result...

Accepted Answer

The aeroplane flies below the estimated climb path.

Answer

The aeroplane flies above the estimated climb path.

Answer

The ground speed (GS) will decrease.

Answer

The true airspeed (TAS) will increase.

Question 10

How can a wind shear encounter in flight be avoided?

Accepted Answer

Avoid take-off and landing during the passage of heavy showers or thunderstorms

Answer

Avoid take-offs and landings in mountainous terrain and stay in flat country whenever possible

Answer

Avoid thermally active areas, particularly during summer, or stay below these areas
