What is the min time between Vref and the point at which the pilot recognises + takes action

Answer 5

Min of 1 second or longer if proven

Question 6

What does the 80 knot call out mean

Answer 6

Switch from nose-wheel steering to rudder

Question 7

What are “placarded speeds”

Answer 7

V1 / Vr / V2

Must be calculated before takeoff

Question 8

What speeds must be called out during take off

Answer 8

V1 Vr

Question 9

What is the point where Vstop and Vgo meet

Answer 9

Runway limited t/o mass

Question 10

What happens to Vgo and Vstop with lower mass

Answer 10

Lower Vgo

Higher Vstop

Question 11

Answer 11

Lower V1 speed

Question 12

What happens to V1 if it’s safer to stop

Answer 12

Higher V1

Question 13

what does upslope do to V1

Answer 13

Faster

Question 14

What does downslope do to V1

Answer 14

Slower

Question 15

What does a headwind do to V1

Answer 15

Higher

Question 16

What does a tailwind do to V1

Answer 16

Slower

Question 17

Vmbe

Answer 17

Velocity max brake energy speed

Fastest speed at which brakes can convert all energy into heat and not fade or fail

Must be greater than V1

Question 18

Vmu

Answer 18

Velocity minimum unstick

Lowest cas a aircraft can safely lift off ground + continue take off without hazard

Higher air density = Vmu reduced

Question 19

Vr

Answer 19

Must be less than:

• V1
• 1.05 Vmc(a)
• the speed at which allows V2 to be reached before reaching a height of 35ft

A speed that if rotated at practical max rate results in Vlof =
- 1.10 Vmu all engine
- 1.05 Vmu (n-1)
= aerodynamically limited

-1.08 Vmu all engine
- 1.04 Vmu (n-1)
= geometry limited

Question 20

Vmc

Answer 20

Lowest cas when critical engine fails can be possible to maintain directional control with angle of bank less than 5°

Question 21

V2

Answer 21

Min speed that should be reached at 35ft during critical engine failure @v1

May not be less than

• 1.1Vmc
• 1.13 Vsr (except 4 eng turbo props and some jets where it’s reduced to 1.08 Vsr)

Question 22

What does the dry take off distance need to be the greater of (class A)

Answer 22

Tod n-1 dry

1.15 Tod n dry

Question 23

Tod on wet is the greatest of (class a)

Answer 23

Tod n-1 dry

1.15 Tod n dry

Tod n-1 wet

Question 24

What is take off run defined as (class a)

Answer 24

Distance from brake release to a point midway between Vlof and 35ft

Question 25

What is Tor wet the greater of Class a

Answer 25

1.15 Tor n wet Tor n-1 wet TOR n-1 dry 1.15 TOR n dry

Question 26

What is the parameters or TOR N-1 wet class a

Answer 26

Break release to 15 above surface speed

Question 27

What is gross ASDR

Answer 27

``` Distance accelerating all engines + Decelerating distance + Distance covered in 2 seconds at V1 ``` 2 seconds is NOT reaction time

Question 28

Runway limited take off mass is... Class a

Answer 28

Heaviest that aircraft can be in the aerodrome conditions to comply with: ASD n dry ASD n-1 dry ASD n-1 / n wet

Question 29

Balanced field is where...

Answer 29

Asda = TODA Or for cap work tora = Asda = TODA

Question 30

If stopway is increased what happens to RLTOM and V1

Answer 30

RLTOM increase As long as V1 increases

Question 31

If clearway is increased what happens to RLTOM and V1

Answer 31

RLTOM increased as long as V1 decreases

Question 32

What is climb limited take off mass also known as

Answer 32

WAT (weight, altitude, temperature) | MAT (mass, altitude, temperature)

Question 33

What is the performance limited take off mass

Answer 33

The lowest of RLTOM CLTOM Tyre limited mass Obstacle limited take off mass

Question 34

If the runway is short what is likely to be the limiting take off mass

Answer 34

RLTOM

Question 35

Is CLTOM wind related

Answer 35

NO DO NOT APPLY WIND

Question 36

Can V1 be lower than Vmcg

Answer 36

No

Question 37

How does upslope / headwind affect Vmbe

Answer 37

Increases

Question 38

What is an increased V2 / improved climb procedure

Answer 38

Increase airspeed by screen height by increasing Vr and V2 Increases excess thrust by delaying onset of induced drag

Question 39

When can a increased V2 procedure be used

Answer 39

Only when RLTOM exceeds CLTOM

Question 40

When is reduced thrust take off not permitted

Answer 40

``` One icy / slippery runways Contaminated runways Anti - skid unserviceable Reverse thrust unserviceable PMC not working In conjunction with increases V2 procedure ```

Question 41

What is de rated thrust setting

Answer 41

Reducing power to either keep ontop of Vmc Or Marry up miss match engines Once set you can not go back to TOGA power Considered normal t/o so can be used on contaminated runway

Question 42

What causes hydroplaning

Answer 42

When the depth of contamination is greater than the depth of tyre tred

Question 43

What is advised when landing on contaminated runway with serviceable anti skid system

Answer 43

Touch down positively + Apply breaks as soon as practical

Question 44

What is the aquaplane velocity calculation

Answer 44

(9 x *squareroot* psi) / Specific gravity

Question 45

How could speeds below Vp be potentially lethal

Answer 45

Because below Vp impingement drag increases with speed and could equal excess thrust

Question 46

What is viscous hydroplaning

Answer 46

Rubber deposits from landing = when wet = slippery

Question 47

What is reverted rubber hydroplaning

Answer 47

When wheels lock on a damp or wet runway rubber reverts to its uncured state on which the tyre skids

Question 48

If anti skid is inoperative what should be done

Answer 48

Reduce mass by 7700kg Then recalculate V speeds Then reduce new V1 by anti skid decrements
