Answer 6

Upslope

Question 7

True

Question 8

Answer 8

False

Question 9

· Aerodrome temperature: +8oC

Answer 9

400ft

Question 10

What factor improves take-off performance?

Answer 10

Low Atmospheric temperature

Question 11

The landing distance required for an aeroplane on a grass runway is shorter than the landing distance required for the same aeroplane on paved (sealed) runway. (Ture or False)

Answer 11

False

Question 12

Specific Air Range (SAR) is always the same as Specific Ground Range (SGR). (True or False)

Answer 12

False

Question 13

After touchdown, lift decreases as the speed reduces and the nose wheel is lowered onto the runway. This reduction in lift puts more weight on the wheels and improves brakes effectiveness but reduces the aerodynamic braking. (True or False)
