Chapter 5.6 - Exam Review

Question 1

What are the three primary factors that influence Takeoff Performance?

Answer 1

• Speed
• Acceleration.
• Distance.

Question 2

What five forces are acting on an Aircraft midway through a Takeoff?

Answer 2

• Thrust.
• Lift.
• Drag.
• Weight.
• Rolling Friction.

Question 3

What two factors result in an increase in Takeoff Distance when the Density Height is increased?

Answer 3

• Reduced Power Output.

- Increase in true lift-off speed.

Question 4

Why is it important to establish, before or during the Takeoff, whether or not the Engine is producing its normal power output?

Answer 4

Because a reduction in power output will increase the Takeoff Distance significantly.

Question 5

What are the factors, taken into account on the Takeoff Weight Chart, that degrade Takeoff Performance (4)?

Answer 5

• Increase in Density Height.
• Tailwind Component.
• Upslope.
• Runway Surface.

Question 6

What are the factors, taken into account on the Takeoff Weight Chart, that improve Takeoff Performance (4)?

Answer 6

• Decrease in Gross Weight.
• Headwind Component.
• Downslope.
• Higher Flap Setting.

Question 7

Define Takeoff Distance Required?

Answer 7

Distanced need for an Aircraft to acceleration from starting point to 50 foot point.

Question 8

What assumption is made for all Takeoff Weight Charts regarding the application of Takeoff Power?

Answer 8

Aircraft is stationary with brakes until Takeoff Power is obtained.
