Question 14

A referenced airspeed obtained after the airplane lifts off and at which the required one-engine-inoperative climb performance can be achieved is designated as:

Answer 14

V2

Question 15

Which of the following takeoff and landing distances published in the CAP aerodrome charts include the length of the clearway? (LDA, TORA, ASDA, TODA)

Answer 15

TODA

Question 16

TORA includes:

Answer 16

Just runway. Doesn’t include stopway, or clearway

Question 17

CFL or balanced field length means the length of runway:

Answer 17

Required for an aircraft to accelerate to critical engine failure speed, experience an engine failure and to either continue the take-off or reject it

Question 18

The 3 takeoff distances that must be calculated prior to departure are:

Answer 18

115% all engines takeoff, accelerate stop and accelerate go

Question 19

A slush covered runway will have what effect on V1 and Vr speeds?

Answer 19

V1 will decrease and Vr will remain the same

Question 20

An upslope runway will have what effect of V1 and Vr?

Answer 20

V1 will increase and Vr will remain the same, however, V1 can never exceed Vr

Question 21

The T/O 2nd segment climb gradient for a large 2 eng turbine aircraft starts at the time the landing gear is fully retracted and continues until the airplane reaches an altitude above runway of at least 400ft or a specified level off height. The aircraft must maintain a climb gradient of _____ in this climb gradient

Answer 21

2.4%

Question 22

The T/O final segment climb gradient for turbo prop aircraft (dash8) ends when the airplane reaches the final T/O flight path point at 1500ft. The airplane must be at a speed 38% above stall maintaining a climb gradient of 12ft vertically for every 1000ft horizontally while using:

Answer 22

MCP, with gear up and flaps retracted

Question 23

Specific air range formula

Answer 23

TAS/FUEL FLOW

SAR is max endurance

Question 24

Specific ground range formula

Answer 24

GROUND SPEED/FUEL FLOW

High number is better as this is the number of nm flown per lb of fuel burned

SGR is max range

Question 25

CRFI readings are included in RSC reports when runways are contaminated with:

Answer 25

Ice and snow, slush or wet snow

Question 26

Payload calculations

Answer 26

MTOW - BOW - FUEL = Payload

MZFW - BOW = Payload

Make sure not over MZFW (should be given on chart)

Check Max ramp weight aswell

Question 27

Distance to Critical Point

Answer 27

Total trip distance x reduced/3 eng GS back to departure

Over

Reduced/3 Eng GS to departure + reduced/3 Eng GS to destination

Question 28

Local speed of sound formula

Answer 28

39 x sq root of temp in Calvin (273 - OAT)

Question 29

First take off segment req

Answer 29

•take off power
•starts at 35ft above runway elev
•ends at gear retraction
•positive climb
•V2 maintained

Question 30

Second climb segment

Answer 30

•starts at gear fully retracted
•ends at acceleration altitude (not less then 400AAE)
•climb gradient 2.4%
•V2 maintained
•take off power

Question 31

Third climb segment

Answer 31

•accelerate to flap retraction speed (if applicable) and then to single engine En-Route climb speed
•take off power
•1.2% climb gradient

Question 32

Final climb segment

Answer 32

•min actual climb gradient of 1.2% to a height of 1500ft above runway, gear flaps retracted and MCP

Question 33

Which altimeter setting provides better performance? 30.12 or 29.85

Answer 33

30.12, more pressure means more dense air.

Question 34

How long can a clearway be in Canada?

Answer 34

No more then 1000’
