Q

Which statement about minimum control speed is correct?

a.VMCA depends on the airport density altitude, and the location of the engine on the aeroplane (aft fuselage or wing).

b.Crosswind is taken into account to determine VMCG.

c.VMCA may not be lower than VMCL

d.The nose wheel steering control may used to determine VMCG.

A

Q

How does VMCG change with increasing field elevation and temperature ?

a.increases, because at a lower density a larger IAS is necessary to generate the required rudder force

b.increases, because VMCG is related to V1 and VR and those speeds increase if the density decreases

c.decreases, because VMCG is expressed in IAS which decreases with constant TAS and decreasing density

d.decreases, because the engine thrust decreases.

A

d.decreases, because the engine thrust decreases.

Q

On a twin engine aircraft with clockwise rotating propellers, the failure of the critical engine will result in an increase in [ ] and a loss of
[ ] on the failed engine. This will result in a yawing moment to the [ ].

Q

One method for maintaining control when there is a single engine failure on a twin engine aircraft is the wing down method. Which of the following statements about the method is/are correct?

a.The method does not require the fin to generate a side force

b.a sideways component of the drag vector is used to counteract the yaw

c.The 5º banking limit is imposed due to the risk of the aircraft stalling

d.The technique requires a bank of up to 5º towards the live engine

A

Q

During an engine failure situation of a twin engined propeller aircraft, failure to stop the yaw will result in a secondary effect of roll towards the [ ] engine. The roll is further increased by the loss of lift [ ]. If you are unable to stop the yaw with rudder, you
should [ ].
