Q 
You’re at FL370 traveling at 420KTAS with a 60Kt tailwind. ATC clears you to descent to 10000ft at VOR passage which is 104nm away. What is your rate of descent?
  2600ft/min.
  2100ft/min.
  2400ft/min.
  2300 ft/min.
A

2100ft/min.
Incorrect
27000 feet, 480KGS, 104nm. 104NM / 8NM/min = 13min
27000 feet / 13min = 2100ft/min (round up)

Q

What affects climb rate (VY) and climb angle (VX)?
Excess THRUST affects climb rate, while excess power affects climb angle.
Excess thrust affects climb angle, while excess power affects climb rate.
Insufficient thrust affects climb angle, while excess power affects climb rate.

A

Excess thrust affects climb angle, while excess power affects climb rate.
Correct
L/DMAX is where the largest TE, or thrust EXCESS occurs (Thrust Avail minus Thrust Req.) since the lowest TR occurs at the lowest total drag (L/DMAX), the most excess thrust is available to produce the best ANGLE of climb. Power is the RATE at doing work and is the tangent on the PR curve and occurs at a speed greater than L/DMAX, and will provide the best RATE of climb.

Q 
You mistakenly set 29.35 instead of 29.85, what is your altitude difference?
  300 ft low.
  500 ft low.
  300 ft high.
  500 feet high.
A

500 feet high.
.1 inHg Change = 100 feet. The erroneous setting of 29.35 would reduce your altitude by 500 feet causing to you fly the assigned altitude at an actual altitude 500 feet higher. Go here and play around with it. When you are at 1000 feet and have 29.85 set your at about 1000 feet. When you put 29.35 in your altitude is now 500 feet. So flying 1000 feet with 29.35 set would have you at 1500feet actual altitude.

Q

Plane A climbs at VX and Plane B climbs at VY. What is the relationship between their climb profiles?
Plane B is gaining the greatest amount of altitude for least distance , A is gaining the most amount of altitude per unit of time.
Plane A is gaining the greatest amount of altitude for least distance , B is gaining the most amount of altitude per unit of time.

A

Plane A is gaining the greatest amount of altitude for least distance , B is gaining the most amount of altitude per unit of time.
Correct
Plane A is gaining the greatest amount of altitude for least distance over the ground (ft)/NM (BEST ANGLE), while Plane B is gaining the most amount of altitude per unit of time (ft)/min, (BEST RATE.)

Q

How do you recognize a compressor stall?
Loud bangs and caution light.
Drop in EGT and loud bangs.
Loud bangs, rise in EGT, yaw in a multi-engine aircraft.

A

Loud bangs, rise in EGT, yaw in a multi-engine aircraft.

Q 
You are flying 470KTAS and have a 100Kt tailwind. How long does it take to go 870NM?
  1+30
  1+15
  1+20
  1+45
A

1+30
Incorrect
870NM / 570NM / hr. = 1.5 hours (rounding helps, 900/600=1.5)

18
Q

What do you do if your MAX Endurance is greater than the allowable holding speed?
Maintain speed and hold.
Slow to the holding speed and reconfigure.
Leave holding.

A

Slow to the holding speed and reconfigure.
Correct
Slow to the holding speed restrictions, reconfigure if required. Contact ATC w adjusted available holding time (increased fuel flow on back side of L/DMAX.

19
Q 
Exceeding what Vspeed may cause structural damage?
  Vso
  Vs1
  V2
  VMO or MMO
A

VMO or MMO
Correct
VNE is for piston engine aircraft only. VMO and MMO are for jet aircraft. VMO is for low altitude Maximum Operation, while MMO is for high altitude Max Operation. This is dynamic and will move. Also referred to as the “Barber Pole” because of the floating red/white striped reference needle on the A/S indicator.

VMO / MMO: Maximum operating limit speed.

20
Q 
Load factor is a function of-
  Gforce to weight.
  The ratio of total air load to gross weight.
  Airspeed to bank angle.
  Bank angle to gross weight.
A

The ratio of total air load to gross weight.

21
Q

  Increase wing root loading.
  Reduce wing root loading.
  Fuel efficiency.
  Maintain fwd CG.
A

Reduce wing root loading.

22
Q

Where is L/DMAX on a total drag curve?
Where induced and parasite drag intersect, the lowest point on the total drag curve.
Where induced and parasite drag intersect, the highest point on the total drag curve.
Where induced and parasite drag diverge, the lowest point on the total drag curve.

A

Where induced and parasite drag intersect, the lowest point on the total drag curve.

23
Q 
EGT is measured where?
  Compressor section.
  Exhaust section.
  Combustion section.
  Compressor section.
A

Exhaust section.

24
Q

Which of the following is true regarding a compressor stall?
High RPM with low AOA.
Compressor stage blades critical AOA exceeded.
Low power and great combustion pressure.
Low AOA with high RPM.

A

Compressor stage blades critical AOA exceeded.

25
Q 
Landing runway 09 and winds are 050/30kts. What is the crosswind component?
  22KTS
  18KTS
  20KTS
  15KTS
A

20KTS
correct
The rule of sixths… Relative to the runway 10deg=1/6, 20deg=2/6, 30deg=3/6, 40deg=4/6 50deg=5/6 60deg-90deg=6/6.
So 050deg is 40deg relative to 090. So 4/6 of the wind is crosswind. 4/6 x 30 = 20kts.
