Q1. ## The requirement with regards to obstacles in is that the net take-off flight path should clear all obstacles by
Correct answer is D – minimum 35 feet vertically
Q2. Requirements for the third segment of climb are:
Correct answer is A – level acceleration with an equivalent gradient of 1.2%
Q3. In the event that the take-off mass is obstacle limited and the take-off flight path includes a turn, the bank angle should not exceed:
Correct answer is A – 15 degrees up to height of 400 ft
Q4. For a turbojet aeroplane the second segment of the climb begins when:
Correct answer is A – Landing gear is fully retracted
Q5. The second segment gradient requirement for a two engine aircraft is 2.4%. If the V2 speed is 150 knots IAS the rate of climb at sea level ISA when operating at the W.A.T. limit would be approximately:
Correct answer is C – 360 ft./min
Q6. An aircraft is descending at 193kt TAS in still air with a vertical speed of 1000ft/min. The descent gradient is:
Correct answer is B – 5.1%
Q7. For a given aircraft mass, the climb gradient :
Correct answer is D – decreases if the aircraft is accelerating and if the temperature increases
Q8. What happens to the speed for Vx and Vy with increasing altitude?
Correct answer is D – Vx increases and Vy decreases
Q9. The best rate of climb at a constant gross mass
Correct answer is C – decreases with increasing altitude since the thrust available decreases due to the lower air density
Q10. For a given aircraft mass as altitude increases the effect on the margins to the low speed and high speed buffet is to:
Correct answer is A – decrease both margins
Q11. As altitude increases the stalling speed of an aircraft in terms of (i) IAS, (ii) TAS and (iii) Mach number will…
Correct answer is A – remain constant, increase, increase
Q12. What happens to the drag of a jet aeroplane if, during the initial climb after take off, constant IAS is maintained? (Assume a constant mass)
Correct answer is C – The drag remains almost constant
