Chapter 2.4 - Exam Review Flashcards
In a climb, Lift is (less than/greater than) Weight because the excess Thrust required balances part of the Weight?
Less than.
Which is the lowest climb speed? The speed for maximum angle of climb or the speed for normal climb?
Maximum angle of climb speed.
What is the reason for using the maximum angle of climb speed?
For obstacle clearance.
Why is the maximum rate of climb speed used?
To gain maximum height in the least amount of time.
An Aircraft’s angle of climb is a function of excess (Thrust/Power)?
Thrust.
An Aircraft’s rate of climb is a function of excess (Thrust/Power)?
Power.
The fastest of the climb speeds is the (maximum angle/maximum rate/normal) climb speed?
Normal.
Which climb speed provides the worst Engine cooling and why?
- Maximum angle of climb speed.
- Because of low Airspeed and maximum power settings required.
Both the rate and angle of climb are (increased/decreased) with increases in Weight?
Decreased.
Will the rate and angle of climb be increased or decreased at a power setting less than full power?
Decreased.
In a headwind, the angle of climb is (increased/decreased) and the rate of climb is (increased/decreased/unaffected)?
- Increased.
- Unaffected.
What effect, if any, does hot weather have on climb performance?
Decrease in air density will decrease climb performance.
Inadvertently leaving Flaps down during a climb (increases/decreases) both the rate and angle of climb?
Decreases.
True or False. When the wind gradient is such that the headwind component is decreasing with height, climb performance will be reduced?
True.
Indicated Airspeeds above or below the recommended climb speed (will/will not) achieve the maximum climb performance.
Will not.
