Q

Hypoxic hypoxia

A

Insufficient supply of oxygen to the body as a whole. As altitude increases, oxygen percentage of the atmosphere is constant, but the pressure decreases. Reduced pressure becomes insufficient for the oxygen molecules to pass through the respiratory systems membranes

45
Q

How does VMC change with altitude and weight

A

Increase in altitude leads to a decrease in engine performance, which decreases VMC

Decreases with weight because more weight makes the plane more difficult to roll

46
Q

A

Vyse blue line

47
Q

What is the single engine operation speed?

A

Vyse/v2

49
Q

What is v1?

A

Decision speed if going to takeoff or abort

50
Q

What is the engine failure procedure at v1 for your aircraft?

A

At v1 accelerate to v2

51
Q

What is de ice and anti ice

A

De icing is the procedure of removing frost, snow, or ice from an aircraft using aircraft deicing fluid

Anti icing is a procedure when aircraft anti icing fluid is applied to a surface to prevent icing

52
Q

Define an MEL

A

List of equipment submitted by the company and approved by FAA that has all the equipment that can be inoperative before flight

53
Q

What converts AC current to DC?

A

Transformer Rectifier Unit

54
Q

Difference between turbojet and turbo fan engine?

A

In a turbo jet all the air that goes through the compressor goes through the combustion chamber

In a turbo fan, the first portion of the compressor (the fan) separates the air and only a portion goes through the combustion chambers

55
Q

Where do jet engines perform best?

A

High altitudes

Air is cooler and expands more when heated, expansion of the air drives combustion engines

56
Q

How does a turbine engine work?

A

The engine sucks air in at the front with a fan

A compressor raises the pressure of the air

The compressor is made with many blades attached to a shaft

The blades spin at high speeds and compress or squeeze the air

The compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark lights the mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the nozzle at the back of the engine.

Jets of gas shoot backward, aircraft thrusts forward

As the hot air is going to the nozzle, it passes through another group of blades called the turbine. The turbine is attached to the same shaft as the compressor. Spinning the turbine causes the compressor to spin

57
Q

What is max speed above 10,000 feet?

A

No more than Mach 1

58
Q

What is the relationship between the four forces of flight while in a climb?

A

Lift and weight, thrust and drag are always equal unless there is acceleration or deceleration

A constant rate climb has equal lift and weight

59
Q

Which type of wind flows downslope getting warmer and dryer?

A

Katabatic wind

60
Q

What happens when the plane ahead of you loses glide slope?

A

Go missed

61
Q

On Jepp approach plates are obstructions in AGL or MSL?

A

MSL

62
Q

What threats are associated with landing with thunderstorm in the area?

A

Possible wind shear

63
Q

What is hold over time?

A

The estimated time that deicing/anti icing fluid will prevent the formation of frost or ice to accumulate on critical surfaces of aircraft

64
Q

What information do you need to report to ATC when entering a hold?

A

Position altitude time in Zulu

65
Q

How does colder temperature affect altitude?

A

High to low look out below

Flying from warmer to cooler air, your altitude will be less than indicated

66
Q

What does it mean on IAP when it says “coupled approach NA?”

A

Autopilot is not authorized to conduct the IAP

67
Q

When must you disconnect autopilot if coupled approach is NA?

A

Before the FAF

68
Q

You are instructed by ATC to fly a STAR, ATC tells you maintain 300kts and descend via the arrival which will take you below 10,000’. Do you maintain 300kts or slow down?

A

75
Q

What side do you deviate around a T storm?

A

Upwind side

76
Q

How does dihedral increase longitudinal stability ?

A

Increasing AOA on the lower wing in a roll upset, causing lower wing to have more lift and raising it back to level

77
Q

What are 3 types of hydroplaning?

A

Reverted rubber, dynamic, viscous

78
Q

If you’re below 10,000 feet and center requests best forward speed can you exceed 250 knots?

A

Negative

AGL

80
Q

A

Accumulation

What areas

De icing capabilities

Hold over times?

81

A

Leg times are 1.5 minutes above 14,000

Leg times are 1 minute below 14,000

84
Q

How does a swept wing work?

A

Delays compressibility of the air flow which allows air to flow faster over the wing

85
Q

When doing an approach is visibility or ceiling controlling for minimums?

A

Visibility

86
Q

You’re at FL350 and experience rapid depressurization. What would you do?
