SET 1

Question 1

You’re tracking inbound on the 090 radial, and you want to get going outbound on the 060 radial. After station passage, the needle points to 090. What do you do?
Fly heading 080 until head of the needle points to 260.
Fly heading 090 until head of the needle points to 240.
Fly heading 080 until head of the needle points to 240.

Answer 1

Fly heading 080 until head of the needle points to 240.

Question 2

T Storm 5 miles off approach end of runway. On t/o roll your IAS freezes. What happened?
V1 may no longer be valid due to tailwind.
Bird strike to the TAT probe.
Pitot tube is frozen most likely.

Answer 2

V1 may no longer be valid due to tailwind.

Question 3

Under what conditions would you need to adjust the DH?
Hot temperatures.
High ambient pressure.
Cold/lower temperature.

Answer 3

Cold/lower temperature.

Question 4

Normal cabin pressurization has failed, and you are in manual mode. If you change speed or altitude, what should you do to the cabin outflow valve to maintain a constant cabin pressure?
Lower speed, same altitude close the outflow valve.
Higher speed, lower altitude open the out flow valve.
Maintain constant speed and altitude.

Answer 4

Higher speed, lower altitude open the out flow valve.
Correct
Higher speed or throttle/thrust=more bleed air/ pressure so open the outflow valve to let some cabin air out.
Lower altitude=more ambient pressure so open the outflow valve. THROTTLE LOW YOU WILL DEPRESSURIZE WITH OUTFLOW OPEN

Question 5

Sonic (sound) footprint affected greater by?
RPM.
Gas temperature.
Air/gas velocity.

Answer 5

Air/gas velocity. SONIC SOUND BASED ON SPEED

Question 6

You set your altimeter to the local altimeter setting. The altitude you read off the altimeter is the-
Pressure altitude.
Absolute altitude.
Indicated altitude.

Answer 6

Indicated altitude.
Correct
Indicated altitude (pressure altitude = elevation above standard datum ie 29.92, true altitude = actual elevation above mean sea level)

Question 7

You are in a thrust limited aircraft, at what AOA is all lift converted to drag?
  60 degrees.
  30 degrees.
  45 degrees.
  35 degrees.

Answer 7

30 degrees.

30 IS PRETTY HIGH, 25 IS UNUSUAL ATTITUDE

Question 8

If you have an engine failure at V1 at a balanced field and abort, you will stop:
  35 ft from departure end of runway.
  In the stopway area.
  Middle of runway.
  By the departure end of the runway.

Answer 8

By the departure end of the runway
Correct
Balanced field length: runway length needed to accelerate to V1 decision speed and – if engine failure happens below V1 – stop on the remaining runway or if engine failure happens at V1 continue the takeoff and climb to 35 feet AGL.

Determined by: takeoff weight, elevation, temperature, wind, runway slope or contamination such as water, ice or snow.

Question 9

Quickly selecting full flaps at high pwr setting.

Answer 11

Quickly selecting full flaps at low pwr setting.

Question 12

Answer 12

Cleared to land

Question 13

Where is L/D max?
At the top of the left curve.
At the top of the right curve.
In the trough of top curve.

Answer 13

In the trough of top curve.

Question 14

On Takeoff you experience the stick shaker below your planned airspeed, and you also noticed the fuel burn was higher than expected… what happened?
Cargo shifted forward.
Compressor stall.
Wind Shear.

Answer 14

Cargo shifted forward.
Correct
As cg moves forward the aircraft will stall at a higher IAS (stick shakers) and require the elevator to counteract the forward cg resulting in a higher AOA & drag. There is a similar question regarding cargo moving aft. You may also get rudder shakers in this situation at the aircraft may rotate early due to aft cg, but the fuel burn will be less.

Question 15

You’re 30 miles east of Miami, when do you slow to 250?
Below 10k, or below 10k and within 12 miles of the coast.
Within 12 miles of the airport at any altitude.
Within 10 miles of the airport.

Answer 15

Below 10k, or below 10k and within 12 miles of the coast.

OFF THE COAST AND WHEN WOULD I BE DOING OVER 250 BELOW 10,000 (I GUESS INTERNATIONAL WATERS)

Question 16

142 kts IAS on ILS with 20 kt headwind. What should your VSI be?
  300
  250
  500
  600

Answer 16

600
Correct
600 (120/2= 60 add a zero = 600)

Question 17

If you have an engine failure after V1 but before Vr at a balanced field you-
Should continue the takeoff and climb at V2 which will allow you to be 35ft AGL by the departure end of the Runway.
Should reject only if needed.
Should discontinue takeoff.

Answer 17

Should continue the takeoff and climb at V2 which will allow you to be 35ft AGL by the departure end of the Runway.
Correct
Balanced field length: runway length needed to accelerate to V1 decision speed and – if engine failure happens below V1 – stop on the remaining runway or if engine failure happens at V1 continue the takeoff and climb to 35 feet AGL.

Determined by: takeoff weight, elevation, temperature, wind, runway slope or contamination such as water, ice or snow.

Captain can continue its no problem.
Discontinue takeoff.

Answer 18

Discontinue takeoff.

Question 19

You are at FL350 and cleared pilot discretion descent to FL240 and instructed to cross XYZ at 12,000ft. To fly the most fuel-efficient descent profile, you should-
Fly max range speed and descend at the appropriate point to maintain a direct (no level off) descent to 10,000.
Fly max endurance speed and descend at the appropriate point to maintain a direct (no level off) descent to 12,000.
Fly max range speed and descend at the appropriate point to maintain a direct (no level off) descent to 12,000.

Answer 22

Brake released.

Question 23

You’re at 1500 AGL in a plane that slows at 10 kts per mile. Your approach speed is 130, and you’re going 230. How far from the field do you want to begin slowing down, assuming a 3-degree glideslope?
  14 miles.
  15 miles.
  18 miles.
  16 miles.
