Chapter 6.4 - Exam Review Flashcards
The distance from brakes release that an Aircraft requires to reach the lift-off speed and climb to the ’50-foot’ point, is known as the (takeoff distance required/takeoff distance available)?
Takeoff Distance Required.
The TODA should always be (equal to or greater than/equal to or less than) the TODR?
Equal to or greater than.
Any increase above the recommended lift-off speed will (increase/decrease) the TODR?
Increase.
If the takeoff technique produces a takeoff safety speed below that specified in the takeoff chart for a particular weight, there will be a danger of (an increased takeoff distance required/the Aircraft stalling)?
The Aircraft Stalling.
An increase in weight will (reduce/increase) the TODR?
Increase.
At high elevation aerodromes, particularly on very hot days, the TODR is (increased/decreased) and the takeoff-climb performance is (improved/degraded)?
- Increased.
- Degraded.
When operating from high elevations airports when the QNH is low, will the takeoff and climb-out performance de (degraded/improved)?
Degraded.
Any factor which decreases the power output from the Engine at ‘full throttle’ on takeoff, will (decrease/increase) TODR?
Increase.
An increase in air temperature above standard will (increase/decrease) the density height and therefore (increase/decrease) the LDR?
- Increase.
- Increase.
The shortest distance will be achieved when taking off and landing (into a headwind/with a tailwind)?
Into a Headwind.
The takeoff distance required is decreased with an (uphill/downhill) slope?
Downhill.
A Runway surface of (short dry grass/long wet grass) will produce the longest TODR?
Long Wet Grass.
Which type of Runway surface is more likely to increase the TODR – a dry surface or a wet slushy surface?
Wet Slushy Surface.
Ground effect will (lengthen/shorten) the landing distance used if the approach speed is too high?
Lengthen.
The Takeoff and Landing Distance Required will, in most instances, be (increased/decreased) by Windshear effect?
Increased.
Frost on an Aircraft is likely to (increase/decrease) the TODR?
Increase.
An approach speed higher than recommended will (increase/decrease) the LDR?
Increase.
Describe what is the likely result in terms of landing performance if the flare technique is incorrect (3)?
Late touchdown and brake application, thus increasing the landing distance required
Do landing charts for Light Training Aircraft normally take weight into account for Landing?
No.
For Light Training Aircrafts, an increase in the gross weight for landing (increases/has little effect on/decreases) the LDR?
Has little effect on.
What is the safety factor built into takeoff and landing weight charts for Light Aircraft’s like the Cessna and Piper?
A factor of +15%.
What term is used to describe the situation where the maximum takeoff weight must be restricted to a limiting value (due to increased density height) to enable an Aircraft to climb at the specified gradient?
Climb Weight Limit.
The maximum takeoff weight determined from the Takeoff Weight Chart is the (lesser/greater) of the takeoff performance and the climb weight limit?
Lesser.
For Light Aircrafts, the climb weight limit for landing depends only on (pressure height/density height)?
Pressure Height.
