Question 70

Vmcl is higher than Vref:

True

False

Results

V_ref cannot be lower than V_mcl. This is because it needs to assure sufficient directional control during a go around with one-engine-inoperative

Correct

Wrong

Question 71

Performance calculations are based on:

50% of headwind component and 150% of tailwind component

150% of headwind component and 50% of tailwind component

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 72

Greater deviation from centerline will occur:

In case of engine failure at low speed

In case of engine failure at high speed

Results

Due to lower rudder effectiveness. At speeds below V_mcg, differential braking will be needed

Correct

Wrong

Question 73

Vmcg allows for:

45 ft deviation from centerline

30 ft deviation from centerline

15 ft deviation from centerline

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 74

Optimum V1 if not field length limited:

Balanced V1

Unbalanced V1

Results

Takes advantage of any clearway and/or stopway available

Correct

Wrong

Question 75

Flap settings affect V1:

False

True

Results

Higher flap settings = lower V₁ (lower takeoff speeds required to achieve same amount of lift), Lower flap settings = higher V₁ (higher takeoff speeds required to achieve same amount of lift)

Correct

Wrong

Question 76

Max tire speed limits refer to:

IAS

TAS

Ground speed

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 77

Vx is used to climb:

In shortest time

In shortest distance

Results

Most commonly to be used if you need to reach an altitude by a certain waypoint

Correct

Wrong

Question 78

2nd takeoff segments starts from:

Gear retraction

Flaps up

Acceleration height

Results

Gear retraction until acceleration height – flown at V₂ speed minimum

Correct

Wrong

Question 79

3rd takeoff segment starts from:

Acceleration height

Flaps up

Results

Acceleration height until flaps up

Correct

Wrong

Question 80

4th takeoff segment starts from:

Flaps up

Acceleration height

Results

Flaps up until MSA

Correct

Wrong

Question 81

1st takeoff segment ends at:

Acceleration height

Gear retraction

Results

35 ft until gear retraction

Correct

Wrong

Question 82

2nd takeoff segment ends at:

Acceleration height

Flaps up

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 83

3rd takeoff segment ends at:

Acceleration height

Flaps up

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 84

4th takeoff segment ends at:

Flaps up

1500 ft AAL or MSA

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 85

Upslope runway will:

Decrease V1

Increase V1

Results

Due to easier deceleration

Correct

Wrong

Question 86

TODA is equal to:

TORA + Clearway

TODA + Stopway

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 87

ASDA is equal to:

TORA + Stopway

TORA + Clearway

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 88

Clearway can be longer than 50% of TORA:

True

False

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 89

Balanced V1 improves:

Climb and obstacle limited takeoff performance

Field length limited takeoff Performance

Results

TODR = ASDR which results in minimum field length required for a given weight

Correct

Wrong

Question 90

Vmca assures adequate climb performance in case of EFATO:

True

False

Results

Only directional control

Correct

Wrong

Question 91

A higher TOW will:

Increase balanced V1

Decrease balanced V1

Results

Higher weight requires higher V_r and a higher balanced V₁. This is because if V₁ did not increase, it would increase the time needed to accelerate to V_r with one engine inoperative (engine failure at V₁), increasing TODR

Correct

Wrong

Question 92

Obstacle limited TOW you would use:

Higher flap settings

Lower flap settings

Results

Lower flap settings = higher takeoff speeds = better climb gradient

Correct

Wrong

Question 93

The lower the flap settings:

The lower the takeoff speeds

The higher the takeoff speeds

Results

Due to more lift required

Correct

Wrong

Question 94

Vy is used to gain altitude in:

Shortest distance

Shortest time

Results

Most commonly used if instructed to expedite climb

Correct

Wrong

Question 95

Vref is:

1.3 x stall speed in clean configuration

1.3 x stall speed in landing configuration

Results

Correct

Wrong

Question 96

The higher the flap settings:

The lower the LDR

The higher the LDR

Results

More drag + lower approach speed

Correct

Wrong

Question 97

High airfield elevations:

Improve takeoff and landing performance

Reduce takeoff and landing performance

Results

Lower air density

Correct

Wrong

Question 98

Hydroplaning speed is equal to:

9 x square root of tire pressure

9 x square root of tire temperature

Results

Minimum groundspeed to start hydroplaning

Correct

Wrong

Question 99

To protect against hydroplaning aircraft are fitted with an:

Antiskid system

Autobrake system

Results

If a wheel skid is detected, anti-skid system releases brake pressure to enable wheel to start rotating again and then re-applies brake pressure

Correct

Wrong
