Answer 4

Accelerate Stop Distance Available (ASDA)

The presence of runways contaminants means that the maximum takeoff weight for an aircraft will _____________.
increase

decrease

not change

change depending upon what is causing the limitation

Answer 5

decrease

Question 6

What is the overriding assumption that you must make when calculating takeoff data for a multiengine aircraft?

That you can stop the aircraft on the remaining runway after reaching Refusal Speed.

That you can land back on the runway if you loose an engine prior to 35 feet AGL.

That you can avoid all obstacles with all of your engines running

That you are going to loose your critical engine at the worst possible time.

Answer 6

That you are going to loose your critical engine at the worst possible time.

Question 7

The maximum speed at which the crew can decide to abort the takeoff. It is the lowest of VREF and VR.

Answer 7

Decision Speed (V1)

Question 8

The speed at which the pilot initiates the rotation, at the appropriate rate of about 3° per second

Answer 8

Rotation Speed (VR)

Question 9

The maximum ground speed that can be reached, in order to limit the centrifugal forces and the heat elevation that may damage the tire structure.

Answer 9

Maximum Tire Speed (VTIRE)

Question 10

The speed which you can accelerate on all engines, loose an engine and either abort or take off in the same amount of runway.

Answer 10

Correct match:
Critical Engine Failure Speed (VCEF)

Question 11

This speed corresponds to the energy absorption capability of the brakes.

Answer 11

Maximum Brake Energy Speed (VMBE or VBMAX)

Question 12

It is the minimum climb speed that must be reached at a height of 35 feet above the runway surface, in case of an engine failure. It may not be less than 1.2 VS for turbo-jet powered airplanes and 1.10 times VMCA

Answer 12

Take Off Climb Speed (V2)

Question 13

The speed that you can accelerate to on all engines, lose an engine, and stop in the remaining runway.

Answer 13

Refusal Speed (VREF)

Question 22

The takeoff flight path ends no lower than__________ above the takeoff surface.

2500 feet

1000 feet

400 feet

1500 feet

Answer 22

1500 feet

Question 23

What is the critical engine on a jet?

The right engine

The left engine

Jets normally do not have a critical engine.

Only the center engine on three engined jets is considered to be critical.

Answer 23

Jets normally do not have a critical engine.

Question 24

Takeoff planning assumes that the aircraft in an engine out situation will not be banked until reaching ______ feet AGL and then only with a maximum bank angle of ______ degrees.
100/15
50/15
50/20
25/10

Answer 24

50/15

Question 25

The critical engine of a multi-engine, fixed-wing propeller-driven aircraft is the one whose failure would result in the most adverse effects on the aircraft’s handling and performance.
true
false

Answer 25

true

Question 26

When you compute take off run available, do you just use the runway length?

Yes

No, you have to subtract the runway the aircraft uses to line up

No, you have to subtract 250 feet from the runway length

Yes, if you are doing a full power take off. If you are doing a reduced power take off, you must reduce to runway available by 1000 feet.

Answer 26

No, you have to subtract the runway the aircraft uses to line up
