Performance

Question 1

What is variable load

Answer 1

Do you weight of the crew, crew baggage and removable units

Question 2

What is disposable load

Answer 2

The weight of the payload and fuel

Question 3

What is the emergency distance required EDR

Answer 3

EDR is the distance to accelerate during the takeoff run on all engines to critical speed at which point an engine failure is assumed to have occurred and the pilot aboard the takeoff and brings the aircraft to stop at the end of the runway (stopway)

Question 4

What is the purpose to have a balance field

Answer 4

To optimize the V2 climb performance with a correct V1/VR speed from a single engine performance calculation/chart

Question 5

What is true about the balance field

Answer 5

A balance field may be assumed to exist if that part of the clearway which extends beyond stopway is ignored. The lower TODA or ASDA the more balanced is field lengtht

Question 6

What is true about an unbalanced field

Answer 6

An unbalanced field exist when the TODA is greater than the ASDA

Question 7

Which of the following statements is correct about wind component

Answer 7

The climb limited takeoff mass is independent of the wind component

Question 8

How does a contaminated runway affect distance

Answer 8

A contaminated runway has a lower acceleration which limits the stopping distance available

Question 9

How does VMCG/A vary with the center of gravity position

Answer 9

The aircraft requires a higher minimum control speed with an aft center of gravity position

Question 10

What is the relationship between VS and V2

Answer 10

V2 is equal or greater than 1.2 x VS

Question 11

How is defined the clam gradient

Answer 11

The ratio of the increase of altitude to horizontal AIR distance expressed as a percentage

Question 12

How does the flaps affect the aircraft takeoff performance

Answer 12

A lower flap setting reduces the aircraft takeoff run required because the higher Cl lowers the stalling speed VS which in turn reduces the V2 and VR speeds

Question 13

The result of a higher flop setting up to the optimum at takeoff is

Answer 13

Shorter ground rule

Question 14

What happens if the flap angle is reduce below the optimum take a flop setting

Answer 14

Take of distance required will increase and takeoff speed will increase

Question 15

Do use of flap for landing wheel

Answer 15

Increase the landing weight, decrease the landing distance and give a steep approach path

Question 16

Which of the following statement is correct (departure profile segments)

Answer 16

First segment extends from reference point to the point where the landing gear is retracted at a constant V2 speed

Question 17

What is the net takeoff flight path

Answer 17

The ratio between true height versus the horizontal distance traveled from reference zero
