Power off accuracy approach

Question 1

Judgment of altitude in hundreds of feet is not as important to a pilot making a power off approach as is…

Answer 1

The ability to estimate the distance, the airplane would glide to a landing

Question 2

For a normal winds on runway approach, what is the appropriate location for the base?

Answer 2

The appropriate location for a base leg on normal winds on the runway is closer to base

Question 3

For very strong winds on runway, what is the appropriate location for the base leg?

Answer 3

For very strong winds on runway the appropriate location for the base leg is a tight base.

Question 4

For inoperative flaps the appropriate location for the base is ?

Answer 4

For inoperative flaps the appropriate location for the base leg is closer base

Question 5

For very low altitude, the appropriate location for base leg is?

Answer 5

For a very low altitude, the appropriate location for the base leg is tight base

Question 6

For a very high altitude, the appropriate location for the base leg is?

Answer 6

For a very high altitude, the appropriate location for a base like is farther base.

Question 7

What glidepath would likely result if approach air speed used was slightly lower than the best glide air speed?

Answer 7

The result would be a missed approach you would not have landed on the runway, but before the runway.

Question 8

Execution of a 90° power off approach should begin at what altitude?

Answer 8

1000 feet AGL or normal traffic pattern altitude.

Question 9

In a 180 power off approach, the base leg is positioned…?,

Answer 9

-To conserve or dissipate altitude, so as to reach the desired landing spot

Question 10

List for errors that could result in the aircraft, settling to the ground short of reaching intended, landing areas

Answer 10

-Downwind leg too wide of the runway
Over extension of downwind leg, resulting from tailwind
Inadequate compensation of wind drift on base leg
Premature flap extension
