EK ATPL QB Corrected Flashcards
This QB takes sources from ATPL questions experienced by candidates but includes the EASA QB of the questions associated with the subjects asked. LPJ Questions are copied from Chugg.com verbatim and some have been labelled as too vague followed by similar EASA QB questions. LPJ questions that have wrong answers are highlighted as corrected. Additional questions related to the LPJ QB are labeled as *EASA QB*
TORA Definition?
The length of runway declared available and suitable for ground run of an airplane taking off.
The TODA is:
The declared runway length plus clearway.
TODA, TORA, ASDA and LDA are all equal if:
The runway is without a clearway, stopway and a displaced threshold
ASDA is?
Length of take off run available plus stopway.
What is a “Stopway”?
Is a defined rectangular area on the ground at the end of the take-off run available prepared as a suitable area where an A/C can be stopped in the case of an abandoned take-off
What is ETOPS?
Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards
What is a suitable Airfield with regard to ETOPS diversion alternate airports?
Aircraft performance is suitable for airfield. Adequate emergency facilities are available at the aerodrome. Adequate aerodrome lighting facilities are available for night flights. A basic instrument approach is available. The aerodrome is open. Weather reporting
What is the First Segment of a Takeoff?
First Segment: The Climb from 35 feet point until the landing gears are fully retracted. Conditions in this segment are:
- landing gear extended
- flaps in T/O position
- Speed = V2
- Climb gradient for 2 engine A/C = Positive
- Climb gradient for 4 engine A/C = 0.5%
- Takeoff power
What is the Second Segment of Take-off?
Second Segment: Climb from gear retraction point until a height of 400 feet is reached. conditions in this segment are:
- gears retracted
- flaps in T/O position
- speed = V2
- Climb gradient 2 engine a/c 2.4%, and 4 engine a/c 3.0%
- takeoff power
What is the Third Segment of Take-off?
Third Segment: It’s the horizontal distance covered after the second segment until the flap retraction speed is reached, to raise the flaps plus the distance required to accelerate the aircraft to the flaps up climb speed. It consists of two parts:
First part of 3rd segment: Distance covered before flap retraction, accelerating to flap retraction speed. The conditions are:
- gears retracted
- flaps in t/o position
- speed increasing from v2 to flap retraction speed
- takeoff power
Second part of 3rd segment: Distance covered after flap retraction, accelerating to final t/o climb speed. the conditions are:
- gears retracted
- flaps retracted
- speed, accelerating from flaps retraction to final t/o climb speed
- maximum continuous power
What is the Fourth Segment of Take-off?
Fourth Segment: the Climb from flaps up climb speed till 1500 feet is reached, after the end of third segment operating with max continuous power. The conditions are:
- gears retracted
- flaps retracted
- speed = final t/o climb speed
- max continuous power
- Climb gradient 2 engine a/c 1.2%, 4 engine a/c 1.7%
1st Segments stops at?
Landing gear is fully retracted with flaps in the takeoff setting.
When does the second segment of takeoff begin?
Begins at the end of first segment and is continued to not less than 400 feet above the airport elevation. The climb requirement in second segment is 2.4% gradient for two engine aircraft and 2.7% for three engine aircraft 3.0% for 4 engines. Second segment is usually, but not always the most limiting of the segments within the takeoff flight path.
What is 3rd segment of a Climb?What is 3rd segment of a Climb?
Third segment is the distance required to go from the end of the second segment climb at V2 to the final climb speed with the flaps retracted. It's flown level while accelerating.
ILS Protection (ICAO)?
must: 35 degrees to 10nm and 10 degrees out to 18nm.
Should: 35 deg to 17 NM 10 deg to 25 NM
IFR and RVSM Flight levels?
0-179 Magnetic Track, Degrees odd numbers, 180-359 Even numbers
Vertical Separation is only 1000 ft up to FL290 and 2000 ft above FL290 in non-RVSM airspace and only 1000 ft in RVSM airspace in all levels up to FL410.
Why are Flight Level intervals increased to 2000 ft in non RVSM airspace?
Because of altimeter errors (lower air density). Reduced vertical RVSM to 1000ft separation above FL290 is granted to aircraft with advanced and more accurate altimeters, usually crowded routes (Trans Atlantic Routes).
Name the Holding Entries?
Direct , parallel and teardrop (offset) entries
Nonstandard holding patterns are?
To the left.
ICAO Holding Speeds?
Up to 14000 ft: 230kts
14000 ft to 20000 ft: 240kts
20000 ft to 34000 ft: 265kts
r/>Above 34000 ft: M0.83
Sequence of speeds on take off?
(LPJ is Wrong)
Vmcg < V1 < Vs < Vmca < Vr < V2
Vmcg < V1 < Vr < V2
Vmcg< Vef < V1 < Vr
What are the lights on a taxiway?
(Vague LPJ)
Blue edge, green center.
How long runway remaining when RWY centerline light turns solid red?
Red for last 1,000 ft (305 m)
How long runway remaining when RWY centerline light turns alternating red and white?
900m remaining (3000 feet)
