Multiple Question Test

Question 1

What factors effect V1 (take off decision speed)?

Answer 1

• Gross weight (increased gross weight = increase in V1)
• Flap setting
• Density altitude (requires higher TAS)
• Temperature (Increase temps=increase TAS)
• Contamination (Slush or snow covered will increase TAS)

Question 2

What speed is affected if you have a contaminated runway?

Answer 2

V1

Question 3

On take-off you experience an engine failure at 126 KIAS. V1 is 125 KIAS, what would you do?

Answer 3

Continue take off, rotate at Vr, and climb out at V2

Question 4

How does a headwind effect takeoff roll?

Answer 4

Headwind decreases takeoff roll as GS is lower for a given IAS

Question 5

How does a tailwind effect takeoff distance?

Answer 5

Tailwind increases takeoff roll as GS is higher for given IAS.

Question 6

How does high density altitude effect takeoff roll?

Answer 6

Increases takeoff roll due to increase in TAS which yields a higher GS for a given IAS.

Question 7

When must you advise ATC when making speed adjustments?

Answer 7

10% KIAS or 5% of TAS whichever is greater

Question 8

Where does the fire bottle spray the agent in the event of engine fire?

Answer 8

In the engine bay or compartment, not the combustion chamber

Question 9

What converts AC to DC power?

Answer 9

Transformer rectifier

Question 10

How are batteries effected when connected in series?

Answer 10

Adss voltage but not amperage

Question 11

How are batteries effected when connected in parallel?

Answer 11

Adds amperage but not voltage

Question 12

What happens when you pull the fire handle?

Answer 12

• Cuts off fuel by closing firewall fuel shutoff valve
• Cuts off hydraulic fluid to any engine driven pumps
• Closes any bleed air valves
• Deactivates electrical generator on that engine
• Arms the fire extinguisher

Question 13

What is the correct sequence for starting a turbine engine?

Answer 13

Air, ignition, and fuel

Question 14

What do you do if you encounter torching on engine start?

Answer 14

Cut off fuel and leave starter engaged

Question 15

What does a red disk ruptured or missing indicate?

Answer 15

Thermal discharge

Question 16

What does a yellow disk rupture indicate?

Answer 16

Intentional discharge of the fire extinguisher

Question 17

What is the relationship between AOA and TAS as altitude increases?

Answer 17

Increase in altitude=TAS increase for a given IAS and AOA

TAS increases with an incrase in altitude and increase in temperature

Question 18

What effects landing distance more, weight or speed?

Answer 18

Aircraft speed has a greater effect onlanding distance (a 10% increase in speed causes a 21% increase in landing distance where a 2% increase in wight increases landing distance by 2%)

Question 19

How does density altitude increase take off roll? Compare Denver to Atlanta

Answer 19

• IAS remains the same
• Increase in density altitude increases TAS which increases GS for takeoff speed
• Decrease in engine thrust
• A 1000 foot increase in density altitude increases take off by 7%

Question 20

How is an aircraft effected when loaded to its aft CG?

Answer 20

• Stalls at a lower IAS
• Cruises faster
• Increase in Vmc (due to decreased moment arm from rudder)
• Increased range
• Unstable along longitudinal axis

Question 21

What two factors effect lift in a turn?

Answer 21

Airspeed and AOA

Question 22

What is the purpose of vortex generator?

Answer 22

They delay boundry layer seperation and prevent shock waves from forming over flight surfaces as airspeeds approach Mcrit

*Mcrit: Point in which airflow over the wing first reaches, but does no exceed the speed of sound.

Question 23

What is the advantage of a swept wing aircraft?

Answer 23

Increase Mcrit

*Mcrit: Point in which airflow over the wing first reaches, but does not exceed the speed of sound.

Question 24

What is the disadvantage of swept wing design?

Answer 24

Dutch roll tendancy

Question 25

What is mach tuck?

Answer 25

As an aircraft approaches the speed of sound its wing center of pressure moves aft. As it moves aft, it creates a pitch down moment which there by increases airspeed and worsens situation.

Question 26

You are a Captain on a MD-88 with the left engine inoperative. Given the winds are 210 at 30 knots and your choice of runways are 18/36 or 12/30, which runway do you land on?

Answer 26

Always keep the inoperative engine downwind. Therefore you elect to land runway 18

Question 27

When are the wingtip vortices the strongest?

Answer 27

When the aircraft is heavy, clean, and slow.

Usually during takeoff, climb, and landing

Question 28

What is the greatest danger of a slow moving warm front?

Answer 28

Imbedded thunderstorms

Question 29

What is the standard temperature lapse rate?

Answer 29

3.5 degrees F/1000’ or 2 degrees C/1000’

Question 30

How would you attempt to deviate around a thunderstorm?

Answer 30

• Pass it by at least 20 NM on the upwind side
• You may go over it by 1000’ for every 10 knots of wind at the top

Question 31

You are headed 120 magnetic on a track of 090 and there is a thunderstorm on your nose. Which way do you go?

Answer 31

You are crabbing to the right so the winds are out of the south. You want to pass the thunderstorm on the upwind side so you deviate to the south.

Question 32

In the event that you encounter wind shear, what do you do?

Answer 32

Apply maximum power, increase pitch angle to the stick shaker, and hold until the wind shear is dissipated.

Question 33

What are the characteristics of a low pressure system?

Answer 33

Unstable air, cyclonic (counter clockwise) air flow

Question 34

What is the best way to determine if you have a frontal passage?

Answer 34

• Shift in the winds
• cold front passage winds shift from SW to NW
• warm front passage winds shift from SE to SW

Question 35

What speed is effected if you have a contaminated runway?
