Question 1

TODA (Take-off Distance Available)

· TODA is the length of runway plus any clearway if available

· If no clearway exists, TODA is same as TORA

· TODA includes ground as well as air segments

· TODA does not include a stopway

· TORA + Clearway (The CWY used may not be more than 50% of the TORA)

Vmd

Question 3

V2min may not be less than?

Answer 3

1. 1 Vmca
2. 13 Vsr

For 4 engined turbo props and jets,

1.08 Vsr

Question 4

V2 must be __ faster than the Vso

V2 must be __ higher than Vmca

Answer 4

V2 must be 20% faster than the stall speed

V2 must be 10% higher than Vmca

Question 5

V2min definition -

V2MIN may not be less than:

• ___VSR for 2 and 3 engine turboprops and all turbojets without provision for obtaining
a significant reduction in the one engine inoperative power-on stalling speed OR ___VSR
for turboprops with more than 3 engines and turbojets with provision for obtaining a
significant reduction in the one engine inoperative power-on stalling speed.
• ___VMC

Answer 5

The minimum take-off safety speed, with the critical engine inoperative.

V2MIN may not be less than:

1. 1.13VSR for 2 and 3 engine turboprops and all turbojets without provision for obtaining
   a significant reduction in the one engine inoperative power-on stalling speed OR
2. 1.08VSR for turboprops with more than 3 engines and turbojets with provision for obtaining a
   significant reduction in the one engine inoperative power-on stalling speed.
3. 1.1VMCA
4. 1.2 VS
5. 1.15VS

Question 6

VR may not be less than:

• __
• ___ VMC
• a speed such that __ may be attained before __ ft.
• a speed such that if the aeroplane is rotated at its maximum practicable rate the result will
be a VLOF of not less than 1.1VMU (all engines operating) or 1.05VMU (engine inoperative) [ if
the aeroplane is geometry limited or elevator power limited these margins are 1.08VMU (all
engines) and 1.04VMU (engine inoperative)]

Answer 6

VR may not be less than:
• V1
• 1.05VMCA
• a speed such that V2may be attained before 35 ft.
• a speed such that if the aeroplane is rotated at its maximum practicable rate the result will be a VLOF of not less than 1.1VMU (all engines operating) or 1.05VMU (engine inoperative) [ if the aeroplane is geometry limited or elevator power limited these margins are 1.08VMU (all engines) and 1.04VMU (engine inoperative)]

Question 7

Relevant to altitude, Vx and Vy -

Relevant to mass, Vx and Vy -

Answer 7

Increase with increasing altitude

Increase with increasing mass

Question 8

If a higher V1 is used at the same aircraft mass,

A
TODR remains the same, ASDR increases

B
TODR decreases and ASDR increases

C
TORA decreases and ASDR increases

D
TODA increases and ASDR increases

Answer 8

B
TODR decreases and ASDR increases

Note:

The aircraft will reach V2 sooner with one engine out if V1 is increased, hence TODR will decrease.

However, due to the increased V1, ASDR will increase because the distance that it will take to bring the aircraft to a complete stop after an aborted takeoff at V1 will increase.

As a result, TODR decreases and ASDR increases with an increase in V1.

Question 9

The ref height for landing distance -

Answer 9

50ft

Question 10

Handy rule of thumb for ROD at 3 degrees given groundspeed:

Answer 10

Handy rule of thumb for ROD:

Multiply your Groundspeed by 5 to get the approximate Rate of Descent

90 x 5 = 450fpm

Answer 13

15%

i) Mean head wind component -
ii) Mean tail wind component -
