CHAPTER 8A JEPPESEN KNOWLEDGE TEST GUIDE Flashcards
WHICH WOULD PROVIDE THE GREATEST GAIN IN ALTITUDE IN THE SHORTEST DISTANCE DURING CLIMB AFTER TAKEOFF?
Vx
THE BEST ANGLE OF CLIMB SPEED
AFTER TAKEOFF, WHICH AIRSPEED WOULD THE PILOT USE TO GAIN THE MOST ALTITUDE OVER A GIVEN TIME?
Vy
BEST RATE OF CLIMB
WHAT DOES THE HIGH-DENSITY ALTITUDE, AS COMPARED TO LOW-DENSITY ALTITUDE, HAVE ON PROPELLER EFFICIENCY AND WHY?
EFFICIENCY IS REDUCED BECAUSE THE PROPELLER EXERTS LESS FORCE AT HIGH-DENSITY ALTITUDES THAT LOW-DENSITY ALTITUDES
WHICH COMBINATION OF ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS REDUCES AIRCRAFT TAKEOFF AND CLIMB PERFORMANCE
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY
LOW-DENSITY ALTITUDE
WHAT EFFECT DOES HIGH-DENSITY ALTITUDE HAVE ON AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE?
IT REDUCES CLIMB PERFORMANCE
HIGH TEMP = LESS DENSE AIR = WORSE PERFORMANCE
WHAT EFFECT, IF ANY, DOES HIGH HUMIDITY HAVE ON AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE
IT DECREASES IT
MOISTURE ISA DRAG ON THE WING THROUGH THE AIR AND ENGINE PERFORMANCE
(REFER TO FIGURE 8)
WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF A TEMPERATURE INCREASE FROM 25 Deg F TO 50 Deg F on the density altitude if the pressure altitude remains at 5,000’
C
1,650’ INCREASE
(REFER TO FIGURE 8)
DETERMINE THE PRESSURE ALTITUDE WITH AN INDICTED ALTITUDE OF 1,380’ MSL WITH AN ALTIMETER SETTING OF 28.22 AT STANDARD TEMPERATURE
2,991 ‘
USING THE TABLE ON THE RIGHT, INTERPOLATE BETWEEN 28.2 AND 28.3 TO GET A CONVERSION FACTOR OF 1,611 ( A VALUE OF 20% OF THE WAY BETWEEN 1,630 AND 1,533. ADD THE INDICATED ALTITUDE OF 1,380 FOR A PRESSURE ALTITUDE OF 1380 FOR A PRESSURE ALT OF 2,991’
(REFER TO FIGURE 8)
DETERMINE THE DENSITY ALTITUDE FOR THESE CONDITIONS…
ALT 29.25
RWY TEMP +81 Deg F
airport elevation 5,250’ msl
8,500’ MSL
(REFER TO FIGURE 8)
DETERMINE THE PRESSURE ALTITUDE AT AN AIRPORT THAT IS 3,563’ MSL WITH AN ALTIMETER SETTING OF 29.96
3,527’ MSL
(REFER TO FIGURE 8)
WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF A TEMPERATURE INCREASE FROM 35Deg F to 50Deg F ON THE DENSITY ALTITUDE IF THE PRESSURE ALTITUDE REMAINS AT 3,000’ MSL
1,000 FOOT INCREASE
(REFER TO FIGURE 8)
DETERMINE THE PRESSURE ALTITUDE AT AN AIRPORT THAT IS 1,386’ MSL WITH AN ALTIMETER SETTING OF 29.97
1,341’
(REFER TO FIGURE 8)
WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF A TEMPERATURE DECREASE AND A PRESSURE ALTITUDE INCREASE ON THE DENSITY ALTITUDE FROM 90Deg F AND 1,250’ PA TO 55Deg F AND 1,750’ PA
1,750’ DECREASE
(REFER TO FIGURE 35)
APPROXIMATELY WHAT TRUE AIRSPEED SHOULD A PILOT EXPECT WITH A 65% MAX CONTINUOUS POWER AT 9500’ WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 36 Deg F BELOW STANDARD
158 kTS
(REFER TO FIGURE 35)

PA = 8,000’
TEMP = 22 Deg C
MANIFOLD PRESSURE = 20.8 Ihg
WIND = CALM
70.1 GALLONS
