TEST 5

Question 1

What are fowler flaps and what purpose do they serve?
Flaps that move aft on a track thus decreasing camber AND chord of a wing which increase wing area and C/LMAX with minimal changes in drag.
Slotted flaps that move fwd on a track thus increasing camber AND chord of a wing which increase wing area and C/LMAX with minimal changes in drag.
Slotted flaps that move aft on a track thus increasing camber AND chord of a wing which increase wing area and C/LMAX with minimal changes in drag.

Answer 1

Slotted flaps that move aft on a track thus increasing camber AND chord of a wing which increase wing area and C/LMAX with minimal changes in drag.
Correct
Fowler flap: slides backwards before hinging downwards, thereby increasing both camber and Chord, creating a larger wing surface better tuned for lower speeds. It also provides some slot effect.

Question 2

How does a forward CG affect stall speed?
Remains the same.
Increases.
Decreases.

Answer 2

Increases.

Question 3

What is your drift correction if you have a 35kt crosswind and are flying at 0.7IMN?
  9 deg.
  4 deg.
  6 deg.
  5 deg.

Answer 3

5 deg

Drift = Crosswind component / TAS in NM/min. 35kts/7nm/min = 5 deg.

Question 4

If you increase an aircraft’s gross weight, what effect does it have on glide range?
Decreases.
Remains the same.
Increases.

Answer 4

Remains the same.

Question 5

You are flying along and the outside air temperature increases 5deg C. What happens to your TAS?
Decreases.
Increases.
Remains the same.

Answer 5

Increases.Correct

Increase in temp = decrease in (air) density.

Question 6

You’re in a 737 5nm behind a 747 on approach to runway 25, the winds are 310 at 8kts, what do you do?
Slow down you’re too close.
Land, separation criteria of 5nm exists.
Go around you don’t have separation.

Answer 6

Land, separation criteria of 5nm exists.

Question 7

Where is the hottest temperature measured in a Turbine Engine?
  Compressor.
  Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT).
  Exhaust.
  Low-Pressure inlet.

Answer 7

Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT
)Correct
There is an option of EGT. However immediately after combustion, the hot gas is sent to the turbine where energy (heat) is extracted to turn the compressor section. After passing through the turbine, the EGT is measured.

Question 8

Which control is more effective as AOA increases?
  Elevator.
  Ailerons.
  Rudder.
  Trim tabs.

Answer 8

Rudder.

Question 9

What is the penalty for increasing wing sweep?
  Less lift (lower CLMAX), due to more chordwise flow, higher stall speeds.
  More lift (lower CLMAX), due to less chordwise flow, higher stall speeds.
  Less lift (lower CLMAX), due to less chordwise flow, higher stall speeds.

Answer 9

Less lift (lower CLMAX), due to less chordwise flow, higher stall speeds.

Question 10

If you have an engine failure at V1 on a balanced field and execute an abort, you will stop by-
35ft from the departure end.
1,000 ft from departure end.
The middle of the runway.
The departure end of the runway using brakes and spoilers only.

Answer 10

The departure end of the runway using brakes and spoilers only.
Correct
Balanced field length: runway length (or runway plus clearway and / or stopway) 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.
EEPP P. 154.

Question 11

What are slotted flaps?
Slotted flaps that energize airflow and decreases lift capability.
Slotted flaps that increase boundary separation by de-energizing airflow.
Flaps that when extended provide a slot between the wing and the leading edge of the flap allowing energized airflow through increasing the C/LMAX.

Answer 11

Flaps that when extended provide a slot between the wing and the leading edge of the flap allowing energized airflow through increasing the C/LMAX.
Correct
Slotted flap: a slot (or gap) between the flap and the wing enables high pressure air from below the wing to re-energize the boundary layer over the flap. This helps the airflow to stay attached to the flap, delaying the stall.

Question 12

What are true about your actions when dealing with an electrical fire?
Don O2 mask and continue.
Fix it and continue.
Land ASAP.

Answer 12

Land ASAP.

Question 13

What is a skid?
Yaw into the direction of the turn. Decreases turn radius, Decreases turn rate.
Yaw away from the direction of the turn. Decreases turn radius, increases turn rate.
Yaw into the direction of the turn. Increases turn radius, increases turn rate.
Yaw into the direction of the turn. Decreases turn radius, increases turn rate.

Answer 13

Yaw into the direction of the turn. Decreases turn radius, increases turn rate.

Question 14

What is adverse yaw?
Yawing moment towards the direction of the roll when banking the aircraft.
Yawing moment away from the direction of the roll when banking the aircraft.
Yawing moment away from the direction of the roll when straight and level.

Answer 14

Yawing moment away from the direction of the roll when banking the aircraft.

Question 15

If you are on taxiway T and approach RWY 15-33 sign, which way would you turn to get to the threshold of RWY 15?
Straight.
Right.
Left.

Answer 15

Left.

Question 16

What is the benefit of dihedral wings?
  Greater lift coefficient.
  Greater stall margin.
  Longitudinal stability.
  Lateral stability.

Answer 16

Lateral stability.

Question 17

What does a generator supervisory panel do?
Indicates only an over voltage.
Indicates power remaining.
Monitor for over/under voltage condition.
Indicates only an under voltage condition.

Answer 17

Monitor for over/under voltage condition.
Correct
The monitor really is measuring the speed of rotation of the generator to ensure stable output.

Question 18

What color are the runway edge lights the last 2000’ of the runway?
  White.
  Green.
  Yellow.
  Red.

Answer 18

Yellow.

Question 19

What is the proper sequence of engine indications during start?
RPM, Oil Pressure, EGT.
RPM, Oil Pressure, fuel flow, EGT.
Oil Pressure, fuel flow, EGT, RPM.

Answer 19

RPM, Oil Pressure, fuel flow, EGT .

If the engine isn’t turning, it can’t create oil pressure. If there is no fuel flow, there is no combustion, so no EGT.

Question 20

What color are runway centerline lights the last 3000’ of the runway?
Alternating Yellow and white for the first 2000’ then solid red the last 1000’.
Alternating red and white for the first 3000’ then solid red the last 1000’.
Alternating red and white for the first 2000’ then solid red the last 1000’.
Alternating red and yellow for the first 2000’ then solid red the last 1000’.
Incorrect
Red/White 3000’ from the end, and all red 1000’ from the end of the runway.

Answer 20

Alternating red and white for the first 2000’ then solid red the last 1000’.
Same question in a scenario: “Just landed, lights change from white to alternating red/white, how far from the end are you?”

THATS A TRICKY ONE

Question 21

How do you calculate minimum hydroplaning speed?
9 x square root of the tire pressure = minimum hydroplaning speed.
6 x the square root of the tire pressure = minimum hydroplaning speed.
7 x the square root of the tire pressure = minimum hydroplaning speed.
8 x the square root of the tire pressure = minimum hydroplaning speed.

Answer 21

9 x square root of the tire pressure = minimum hydroplaning speed
Correct
So if your tires are inflated to 144PSI, your minimum hydroplaning speed would be 9 x 12 = 108kts

Question 22

You are flying at 6000’ with a local altimeter of 29.96. The outside air temperature drops 10 degrees, what happened to your true altitude?
Your Higher than 6000’.
Your at the same altitude.
You are lower than 6000’.

Answer 22

You are lower than 6000’.
Correct
High to Low, look out below. Low to high, up in the sky. Works for both pressure and temperature.

It decreases slightly.

DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.
