What sources of information does an airspeed indicator need?

Answer 6

Pitot pressure and static pressure

Question 7

Situations in which TCAS wouldn’t issue RA?

Answer 7

When one aircraft is not transmitting altitude data, not in mode C or S.

Question 8

Answer 8

AoI needs to reduce

Question 9

Answer 9

Increase lateral stability

Question 10

What is the point in winglets?

Answer 10

Reduce induced drag by decreasing wing tip vorticies

Question 11

Calculate density altitude

Question 12

Com failure in IMC?

Answer 12

Refer Pink Pages

Question 13

On descent using 6% profile, 140 kts ground speed, what is the ROD required?

Answer 13

140 x 6 x 1.013
850

Question 14

Flap effect on take-off weight vs climb weight?

Answer 14

Increase take-off weight, decrease climb weight

Question 15

Effect of headwind on best range speed, best angle of climb speed?

Answer 15

Increase best range speed
Constant Vx

Question 16

What type of cloud would most likely be associated with sever icing?

Answer 16

Cumulus

Question 17

Altimeter of aircraft on ground as cold front passes through?

Answer 17

It would climb steadily, as front approached then descend quickly as front passed overhead

Question 18

Controllability at VMCA.
a. Uncontrolable below VMCA
b. Can’t keep aircraft straight below this speed if the critical engine fails? Max AoB 5 degrees.

Answer 18

VMCA is the lowest speed at which directional control can be maintained with no more than 5 degrees AoB towards the live engine. Rudder would be fully deflected.

Question 19

Cabin pressure reaches max difference. What happens if aircraft climbs?

Answer 19

Cabin pressure would climb

Question 20

When are inboard ailerons used?

Answer 20

High speed flight

Question 21

Effect of forward CoG?

Answer 21

Reduced RoC

Question 22

Crosswind and headwind component questions (RWY and wind given)?

Question 23

Static port blocked in climb. What happens to altimeter? (Under read vs over read)?

Answer 23

Under read

Question 24

When can you descend below circling minima?

Answer 24

When you can touch down in the touch down using normal rates of descent and maneuvers. Must be able to maintain continuous visual reference to any of the required references

Question 25

Hold to expect on a high level airway (direction and time)

Answer 25

Right hand, for 1.5 minutes outbound

Question 26

In cruise, weight decreases, what happens to speed range and drift down alt?

Answer 26

Speed range increased
Drift down altitude increases

Question 27

What datum are used on METAR

Answer 27

Above aerodrome level, true

Question 28

ISA -18. Does your altimeter over read or under read?

Answer 28

Over read

Question 29

You’re downwind on a circling approach and accidently go back into cloud. What do you do?
a. Climb downwind to the aid and to the missed approach for the active/approach runway?
b. Make a climbing turn towards the field and fly the missed approach for the active/approach runway?

Answer 29

Climb turn towards the runway. Intercept the missed approach for the approach you have just flown.

Question 30

Inbound hold axis of 270 degrees. You are flying 180 degrees, what entry?

Answer 30

Parallel if right hand. Direct if left hand.

Question 31

Surface temp is +10 degrees. Dew point is +5 degrees. What height does the cloud form?

Answer 31

DALR 3/1000ft
5 degrees to reduce, (5 / 3) = 1.66
1600ft

Question 32

What is MDA?

Answer 32

A specified altitude referenced to AMSL on a non-precision aproach, below which descent may not be made without visual

Question 33

You reach FL190 in 22 minutes. Still air distance is 66nm. You have a 35 kt headwind. What is the new distance to top of climb?

Answer 33

22 mins for 66 nm = 3 nm/min = 180kts G/S still air.

180-35 kts = Groundspeed 145 kts = 2.45 nm/min

22 mins at 2.45 nm/min = 54 nm

Question 34

Definition of a TREND

Answer 34

A forecast, valid for two hours attached to the end of a METAR or SPECI, or AUTO METAR. States and significant changes from those prescribed. If valid, it supersedes the TAF.

Question 35

Planned groundspeed of 240kts. Trip is 480 nm. Depart at 1000 hrs. After 150 nm you’re 2 minutes late. What’s your new ETA with the revised ground speed?

Answer 35

150 nm is about 1/4 of the trip.
you will be a total of 8 minutes late.
New ETA 1206:24

Question 36

ILS deviation, what is full scale?

Answer 36

0.7 degrees on ground speed
or
2.5 on localizer

Question 37

What separation are you responsible for in Class D airspace?

Answer 37

ATC = IFR - IFR
IFR - SVFR
SVFR - SVFR ( <5km vis)

You = IFR - VFR
VFR - VFR
SVFR - SVFR (vis <5km )

Question 38

FL270 descending FL160, 800 fpm. Ground speed 256 kts. What is TOD to be level 6 nm before the VOR?

Answer 38

27000-16000 = 11000
@800fpm
=13.75 mins for descent
traveling at 256kts = 4.2nm/min
=58nm + 6
65nm TOD
