Q

What is an ADIZ?

A

Air Defence Identification Zone. The area of space over land and water, extending upward from the surface, within which the ready identification, the location and the control of aircraft are required in the interest of national security.

25
Q

For a CAT I approach what are the minima?

A

200’ and 550m RVR.

26
Q

For a CAT II approach what are the minima?

A

100’ and 300m RVR.

27
Q

For a CAT III approach what are the minima?

A

50’ and 200m RVR.

28
Q

Where can you intercept the ILS approach?

A

By the minimum altitude and GS intercept unless being radar vectored.

29
Q

Is deciding fluid effective in flight?

A

No. Designed for ground use only. Designed to leave the aircraft once airborne.

30
Q

At what point do you require anti-ice/de-ice protection?

A

+10 degrees to -40 degrees.

31
Q

What determines your choice of HF frequency?

A

The position of the sun in the sky. During the day the ionosphere is is lower than at night therefore a lower frequency is required to travel the same distance at night.

32
Q

What are the indications of a T-VASI?

A

The cross-bar indicates on slope and deviations appear on three lights above or below the cross bar. The sensitivity is similar to a ILS glide path.

33
Q

How do you convert Litres to Kgs?

A

Multiply by 0.8

34
Q

What is the outbound timing in a hold?

A

Up to and including FL140 = 1 min

Above FL140 = 1.5 mins

35
Q

How does thrust specific fuel consumption vary with an increase in altitude?

A

It decreases.

36
Q

Why does and Airbus have a tail tank?

A

To increase range and provide balance trim.

37
Q

When no transponder code is assigned or published you should?

A

Squawk 2000 OCTA or 3000 CTA.

38
Q

On a flight from Athens to Madrid, what would be a court flight level?

A

An even flight level.

39
Q

When holding below FL140 with no turbulence, unless specifically noted, the correct speed would be what?

A

230 knots.

40
Q

For planning purposes, normal diversion fuel must be calculated at what speed?

A

Long Range Cruise.

41
Q

At night, what is the minimum required exterior lighting for an aircraft?

A

An unobstructed red and green light. An unobstructed white light. An aeroplane in flight or operating on the manoeuvring area of a land aerodrome shall display, in addition to the navigation lights, an anti-collision light consisting of a flashing red light.

42
Q

Besides using the scale, where can you measure distance on a Jeppesen chart?

A

You can use the line of longitude.

43
Q

What happens to specific fuel consumption with altitude?

A

It will decrease.

44
Q

What is APS weight?

A

Aircraft prepared for service.

APS = Basic weight + Variable Load.

45
Q

What is the payload?

A

Passengers and or cargo.

46
Q

What is the disposable load?

A

Weight of the payload and fuel.

Disposable load = TOW - APS

47
Q

What is the ramp weight?

A

Gross aircraft weight prior to taxi.

Ramp Weight = TOW + Start and Taxi fuel.

48
Q

What is the ZFW?

A

Zero Fuel Weight.

ZFW = Payload + APS.

49
Q

What are the ICAO weight categories?

A 
Light = 7000kg or less
Medium = 136,000kg and 7000kg
Heavy = 136,000kg
50
Q

What are the different types of aqua planing?

A

Dynamic, viscous and rubber reversion.

Dynamic = due to standing water on the runway.
Viscous = due to a damp runway
Rubber reversion = this is where the rubber melts trapping steam so that the water cannot disperse. Again damp runway.

51
Q

What is the most efficient way of stopping on a wet runway?

A

Thrust reverser.

52
Q

What is the useful time of consciousness at 18000’?

A

30 mins

53
Q

What is the useful time of consciousness at 25000’?

A

2-3 mins

54
Q

What is the useful time of consciousness at 30000’?

A

45-74 secs

55
Q

What is the useful time of consciousness at 40,000’?

A

20 secs

56
Q

What is the useful time of consciousness at 45,000’?

A

12 secs

57
Q

What lighting designations are on air navigation obstacles?

A

300ft - 492ft = medium intensity flashing red light at night (when deemed significant)

492ft + = high intensity flashing white light during day and night.

Failed lighting will be notamed.

58
Q

What is the minimum reserve fuel?

A

Alternate + 30 mins holding fuel at 1500ft and 230kts

59
Q

ASDA is TORA + What?

A

Stop way

60
Q

Clearway will increase/decrease MTOW, and increase/decrease V1?

A

Increase MTOM and decrease V1
