Question 1

Which of the following will decrease V1?

Accepted Answer

Inoperative anti-skid

Answer

Increased take-off mass

Answer

Increased outside air temperature

Answer

Inoperative flight management system

Question 2

VX is:

Accepted Answer

The speed for best angle of climb

Answer

The speed for best rate of climb

Answer

The speed for best angle of flight path

Answer

The speed for best specific range

Question 3

What is the result of a large take off flap setting compared to a small take off flap setting on required Take-off Distance (TOD) and the field length limited Take-off Mass (TOM)?

Accepted Answer

Decreased TOD required and increased field length limited TOM

Answer

Increased TOD required and decreased field length limited TOM

Answer

Decreased TOD required and decreased field length limited TOM

Answer

Increased TOD required and increased field length limited TOM

Question 4

A head wind 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 5

With regard to the graph for the light twin aeroplane, will the accelerate and stop distance be achieved in a take-off where the brakes are released before take-off power is set?

Accepted Answer

No, the performance will be worse than in the chart

Answer

It does not matter which take-off technique is being used

Answer

Yes, the chart has been made for this situation

Answer

Performance will be better than in the chart

Question 6

Consider the graphic representation of the power required versus true air speed (TAS), for a piston engine aeroplane with a given mass. When drawing the tangent from the origin, the point of contact (A) determines the speed of:

Accepted Answer

Maximum specific range

Answer

Critical angle of attack

Answer

Maximum thrust

Answer

Maximum endurance

Question 7

In relation to the net take-off flight path, the required 35 ft vertical distance to clear all obstacles is:

Accepted Answer

The minimum vertical distance between the lowest part of the aeroplane and all obstacles within the obstacle domain

Answer

Based on pressure altitudes

Answer

The height at which power is reduced to maximum climb thrust

Answer

The height by which acceleration and flap retraction should be completed

Question 8

Which combination of circumstances or conditions would most likely lead to a tyre speed limited take-off?

Accepted Answer

A high runway elevation and tail wind

Answer

A low runway elevation and a head wind

Answer

A high runway elevation and a head wind

Answer

A low runway elevation and a cross wind

Question 9

With regard to the drift down performance of the twin jet aeroplane, why does the curve representing 35000 kg gross mass in the chart for drift down net profiles start at approximately 4 minutes at FL370?

Accepted Answer

Because at this mass it takes approximately 4 minutes to decelerate to the optimum speed for drift down at the original cruising level[see Annex]

Answer

Due to higher TAS at this mass it takes more time to develop the optimal rate of descent, because of the inertia involved

Answer

Because at this mass the engines slow down at a slower rate after failure, there is still some thrust left during four minutes

Answer

All the curves start at the same point, which is situated outside the chart

Question 10

Reduced take-off thrust should normally not be used when:

Accepted Answer

Anti-skid is not usable

Answer

The runway is wet

Answer

It is dark

Answer

The OAT is ISA +10°C
