Question 6

What are Delta’s priorities?

Answer 6

1-provide safe transportation,

2-exceed customer expectations, 3-make Delta the worldwide airline of choice

Question 7

What are the main elements of a turbine engine?

Answer 7

Air inlet, Compressor, diffuser, combustion chamber, turbines, exhaust

Question 8

You takeoff out of Atlanta and set 29.92 and land in Bogota Colombia which has a field elevation of 8300 ft and the current altimeter in bogota is 30.02. You noticed you forgot to reset your altimeter setting. What is your current altitude state? Higher/lower?

Answer 8

8200 ft., if you change from 29.92 to 30.02, your indicated alitiude would go up 100ft to 8300ft. if you leave the altimeter at 29.92 when you land in bogota, if would read 8200 ft. 0.1 inches per 10 feet. Thus, 0.1 times 10 per 0.1 equals 100 feet.

Question 9

Where can you find VY and VX on a lift to drag chart compared to LD Max.

Answer 9

Vx is at L/D Max or slightly higher than L/D for turbine aircraft. VY is then at a higher speed than Vx

Question 10

What type of wing design produces a higher critical mach number? More chambered or less chambered wing?

Answer 10

Swept, less camber

Question 11

Why must GS increase in order to maintain a constant IAS in a climb?

Answer 11

TAS must increase so GS must also increase

Question 12

Why does TAS increase at a constant IAS while in a climb?

Answer 12

Air is becoming less dense therefore more TAS required to maintain IAS

Question 13

What are the service limits for a VASI?

Answer 13

3-5 miles day, 20 miles night. +/-10° centerline

Question 14

If ATC clears your to descend to a specific altitude what is the minimum descent rate you must obtain or ATC expecting?

Answer 14

500 fpm

Question 15

What happens to drag while in drag affect? What happens to as you leave ground affect and why?

Answer 15

Induced drag Increases as you leave ground affect. Not familiar with the term drag effect. AOA must increase as you leave ground effect to create the same lift that was being created with the assistance of ground effect.drag effect
drag effect The resistance to a projectile’s (i.e., a bullet’s) forward motion imparted by a tissue, which results in a loss of kinetic energy.

Question 16

Define True Airspeed.

Answer 16

Calibrated A/S corrected for non-standard temp and pressure. I always used ICE T was a G. Indicated, Calibrated, Equivalent, True, and Ground

Question 17

What are the service limits of a papi? They are accurate from how many miles out? How many degrees side to side?

Answer 17

5 miles day, 20 night, +/-10°. 4 NM fro runway threshold. 4/10 degrees on test.

Question 18

What is the purpose of a hydraulic accumulator?

Answer 18

To store hydraulic pressure and to prevent system pressure surges

Question 19

Can you start the takeoff roll before a displaced threshold?

Answer 19

Yes, you cannot land before displaced threshold

Question 20

What happens to forces of an aircraft when established in a constant climb?

Answer 20

Lift must exceed weight for an aircraft to climb, so in a constant climb, lift exceeds weight and thrust equals drag, otherwise the aircraft would accelerate or decelerate. all opposing forces are in equilibrium in a steady state climb

Question 21

Which type of runway lights turn yellow on the last 2,000 feet?

Answer 21

Runway edge lights

Question 22

After you engage the starter you notice there is no N2 indication. What is most likely the issue?

Answer 22

The air turbine started does not supply any air for N2 rotation

Question 23

What happens to wing tip vortices in ground affect?

Answer 23

They are greatly reduced

Question 24

What causes a hung start?

Answer 24

Insufficient starting source, i.e. too little air from the starter

Question 25

What are the advantages of axial flow compressor over centrifugal flow compressors?

Answer 25

Axial flow compressors are highly efficient at high speeds, smaller frontal area for a given airflow, straight through flow allowing ram efficiency and increased pressure rise with increased number of stages with little losses

Question 26

When oil pressure drops what are some of the other indications within the cockpit that you can expect?

Answer 26

Higher oil temperatures, maybe higher fuel temps because of the fuel/oil heat exchanger experiences higher than normal oil temps, which in turn heats the fuel more

Question 27

What are the characteristics of an aircraft with a forward CG?

Answer 27

FWD CG means more stable, higher stall speed, lower cruise speed
“I love her Good”
Increased Longitudinal Stability, Lower Cruise speed, Higher Stall Speed, Good Stall/Spin Characteristics

Question 28

What causes an airplane to skid in a turn?

Answer 28

Rate of turn is too high

Question 29

Why does your TAS and GS increase for a given constant IAS at a high density airport?

Answer 29

Any given IAS requires the same amount of air molecules, and at a lower density of the air (higher density altitude) the only way to achieve this is with a higher actual speed through the air (TAS), which then means a higher GS.

Question 30

You’re in manual pressurization mode and your cabin starts to climb when you decrease power for the descent. What can you do with your out flow valves and power?

Answer 30

Close outflow valve or increase power for more airflow into pressure vessel

Question 31

What are the takeoff/landing wake turbulence techniques behind an arriving and departing heavy?

Answer 31

Rotate prior to heavy’s rotation point, land past it’s touchdown point
