Question 1

Question
124) In unaccelerated climb
Answer
  • thrust equals drag plus the uphill component of the gross weight in the flight path direction.

Question 9

Question
133) Which statement is correct for a descent without engine thrust at maximum lift to drag ratio speed?
Answer
  • The mass of an aeroplane does not have any effect on the speed for descent.
  • The higher the gross mass the greater is the speed for descent.
  • The higher the gross mass the lower is the speed for descent.
  • The higher the average temperature (OAT) the lower is the speed for descent.

Question
134) What will be the influence on the aeroplane performance if aerodrome pressure altitude is increased?

  • It will increase the accelerate stop distance available.

Question 11

135) An aeroplane is in a power off glide at best gliding speed. If the pilot increases pitch attitude the glide distance:
Answer

  • V1 is increased.
  • V1 remains constant.

Question 13

Question
137) What affect has a tailwind on the maximum endurance speed?
Answer
  • No affect
  • Tailwind only effects holding speed.
  • The IAS will be increased.
  • The IAS will be decreased.

Question 14

Question
138) Which of the equations below defines specific range (SR)?
Answer
  • SR = Groundspeed/Total Fuel Flow
  • SR = True Airspeed/Total Fuel Flow
  • SR = Indicated Airspeed/Total Fuel Flow
  • SR = Mach Number/Total Fuel Flow

Question 15

Question
139) Take-off performance data, for the ambient conditions, show the following limitations with flap 10° selected: - runway limit: 5 270 kg - obstacle limit: 4 630 kg Estimated take-off mass is 5 000kg. Considering a take-off with flaps at:
Answer
  • 20°, both limitations are increased
  • 5°, the obstacle limit is increased but the runway limit decreases
  • 5°, both limitations are increased
  • 20°, the obstacle limit is increased but the runway limit decreases

Question 16

Question
140) Is there any difference between the vertical speed versus forward speed curves for two identical aeroplanes having different masses ? (assume zero thrust and wind)
Answer
  • Yes, the difference is that the lighter aeroplane will always glide a greater distance.
  • Yes, the difference is that for a given angle of attack both the vertical and forward speeds of the heavier aeroplane will be larger.
  • No difference.
  • Yes, the difference is that the heavier aeroplane will always glide a greater distance.

Question 17

Question
141) Which of the following statements with regard to the optimum cruise altitude (best fuel mileage) is correct?
Answer
  • An aeroplane usually flies above the optimum cruise altitude, as this provides the largest specific range.
  • An aeroplane sometimes flies above the optimum cruise altitude, because ATC normally does not allow to fly continuously at the optimum cruise altitude.
  • An aeroplane always flies below the optimum cruise altitude, as otherwise Mach buffet can occur.
  • An aeroplane always flies on the optimum cruise altitude, because this is most attractive from an economy point of view.

Question 20

Question
28. The optimum altitude
Answer
  • is the altitude up to which cabin pressure of 8 000 ft can be maintained.

Answer
  • increases the power required.
  • affects neither drag nor power required.
