Question 1

For a jet aeroplane, the maximum climb angle is achieved at a speed corresponding to:

Accepted Answer

The maximum CL/CD ratio

Answer

1.2 Vs

Answer

The maximum CL/CD2 ratio

Answer

1.1 Vs

Question 2

During take-off the third segment begins:

Accepted Answer

When acceleration to flap retraction speed is started

Answer

When landing gear is fully retracted

Answer

When flap retraction is completed

Answer

When acceleration starts from VLOF to V2

Question 3

At a given mass, the reference stall speed of a twin engine turboprop aircraft is 100 KT in the landing configuration. The minimum speed a pilot must maintain in short final is:

Accepted Answer

123 KT

Answer

115 KT

Answer

125 KT

Answer

120 KT

Question 4

Field length is balanced when:

Accepted Answer

Take-off distance available equals accelerate stop distance available

Answer

Calculated V2 is less than 110% VMCA and V1

Answer

One engine acceleration from V1 to VLOF plus flare distance between VLOF and 35 feet are equal

Answer

All engine acceleration to V1 and braking distance for rejected take-off are equal

Question 5

During climb to the cruising level, a headwind component:

Accepted Answer

Decreases the ground distance flown during that climb

Answer

Increases the climb time

Answer

Increases the amount of fuel for the climb

Answer

Decreases the climb time

Question 6

During a descent at constant Mach number, the margin to low speed buffet will:

Accepted Answer

Increase, because the lift coefficient decreases.

Answer

Remain constant, because the Mach number remains constant.

Answer

Increase, because the lift coefficient increases.

Answer

Decrease, because the lift coefficient decreases.

Question 7

The intersections of the thrust available and the drag curve are the operating points of the aeroplane

Accepted Answer

In unaccelerated level flight.

Answer

In accelerated level flight.

Answer

In descent with constant IAS.

Answer

In unaccelerated climb.

Question 8

An aircraft has two certified landing flaps positions, 25° and 35°. If a pilot chooses 25° instead of 35°, the aircraft will have:

Accepted Answer

A reduced landing distance and better go-around performance

Answer

An increased landing distance and better go-around performance

Answer

A reduced landing distance and degraded go-around performance

Answer

An increased landing distance and degraded go-around performance

Question 9

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 10

With regard to an unaccelerated horizontal flight, which of the following statements is correct?(no compressibility effects)

Accepted Answer

The minimum drag is proportional to the aircraft mass

Answer

The minimum drag is independent of the aircraft mass

Answer

The minimum drag is a function of the density altitude

Answer

The minimum drag is a function of the pressure altitude
