TEST 8

Question 1

Flying direct to the station on the 180-degree radial, at 37000 feet, and 70 DME from the VOR. Approach tells you to cross 15DME on the 360 Radial at 10000 feet. What is your descent rate?
  300 FT/NM.
  317 FT/NM.
  280 FT/NM.
  310 FT/NM.

Answer 1

317 FT/NM.
Correct
You need to lose 27000 feet and have 85NM to do it. 27000 ft/85NM = 317ft/NM

Question 2

One aircraft departs ATL traveling at .7IMN and a second aircraft departs ATL 30 minutes later traveling .8IMN. How long before the second aircraft overtakes the first?
  180 Minutes
  210 Minutes
  205 Minutes
  200 Minutes

Answer 2

210 Minutes
Incorrect
7NM/min x 30min = 210NM head start.

Question 3

Why does a tailwind increase takeoff distance?
The same IAS is required for takeoff, therefore a tailwind increases the groundspeed required to reach that IAS, which increases the takeoff distance.
The same IAS is required for takeoff, therefore a tailwind increases the groundspeed required to reach that IAS, which decreases the takeoff distance.
An increased IAS is required for takeoff, therefore a tailwind increases the groundspeed required to reach that IAS, which increases the takeoff distance.
The same IAS is required for takeoff, therefore a tailwind decreases the groundspeed required to reach that IAS, which increases the takeoff distance.

Answer 3

The same IAS is required for takeoff, therefore a tailwind increases the groundspeed required to reach that IAS, which increases the takeoff distance.

Question 4

On a 3-degree glide slope at 700 FPM rate of descent, the headwinds increase, what adjustment must be made?
Continue at the same rate your better than Chuck Yeager.
Pull power and glide.
Reduce rate of descent.
Increase rate of descent.

Answer 4

Reduce rate of descent.
Correct
140KGS = 700FPM, 20kt headwind reduces KGS to 120. 600FPM.

Question 5

Cruising along, you have a total AC power failure. You are able to get one generator back on-line. How do you know much power the generator is producing?
  Reference the loadmeter.
  Reference the voltmeter.
  Reference the Ammeter.
  Reference the POH.

Answer 5

Reference the Ammeter.
Correct
An Ammeter measures the flow of the electric current in AMPS. An ammeter is used to monitor the performance of the airplane electrical system. The ammeter shows if the alternator/generator is producing an adequate supply of electrical power. It also indicates whether or not the battery is receiving an electrical charge. **Some gouge references “Kilowatts” as the answer.

Question 6

If your cabin pressure equals zero, your differential equals zero, and cabin rate of climb equals zero, what is this telling you?
  You're climbing out slowly.
  Your Pressure valve is open.
  Your Pitot tube is blocked.
  You’re on the ground.

Answer 6

You’re on the ground.

Question 7

The LOC course inbound is 360 degrees. The FAF is defined by the XYZ VOR 090 radial, at 20 DME. Your bearing pointer shows that the VOR is on a 288 degree bearing from your present position on the LOC course. How far away is the FAF?
  5nm
  7nm
  6nm
  4nm

Answer 7

6nm
Correct
You are on the 108 radial and have 18 radials to go until the 090 radial while flying a course of 360 deg. If 1 radial (or degree) is equal to 1nm at 60 miles from a VOR, then 2 radials (or degrees) equal a mile at 30nm from the VOR, and 3 radials equal a mile at 20nm from the VOR. So 18 degrees / (3 degrees / NM) = 6NM

Question 8

What would cause an airplane to hydroplane the most?
  Overinflated tires.
  Under inflated tires.
  Hot Brakes.
  Wet Runway with over-inflated tires.

Answer 8

Under inflated tires.
Correct
The minimum speed at which hydroplaning will occur is directly related to the square root of the tire pressure. NASA formula.

Question 9

What would be affected by a no-flap landing?
Faster approach speed, touch down speed, and shorter landing distance.
Slower approach speed, touch down speed, and longer landing distance.
Faster approach speed, touch down speed, and longer landing distance.
Slower approach speed, touch down speed, and shorter landing distance.

Answer 9

Faster approach speed, touch down speed, and longer landing distance.

Question 10

What speed is affected if you have a contaminated runway?
V1 decreases
V2
V3
Vr
Correct
Longer stopping distance required in the event of an aborted take off.

Answer 10

V1 decreases

Question 11

You lose an engine on takeoff after V1. V2 is 156kts. What airspeed do you climb out at?
156KIAS + 10 for momma and the kids.
156KIAS.
Any speed that can produce a safe climb out.
160KIAS.

Answer 11

156KIAS.
Correct
V2 is the takeoff safety speed, the speed at which an aircraft can safely climb with one engine in operative.

Question 12

What effect does altitude have on Mach Number?
For a given TAS the IMN will be lower at altitude.
For a given IAS the IMN will be lower at altitude.
For a given IAS the IMN will be higher at altitude.

Answer 12

For a given IAS the IMN will be higher at altitude.
Correct
That is because the Speed of Sound decreases with a decrease in temperature. The only thing effecting Mach Number is temperature. The temperature decreases 2 degrees C / 1000ft (3.5 degrees / 1000ft) until approximately FL360, then the tropopause begins (constant temperature with increase in altitude.)

Question 13

If the temperature is 58 degrees F, and the dew point is 55 degrees F, what could happen?
Any further decrease in temperature would produce better visibility.
Any further decrease in temperature would produce fog or low ceilings, if they’re aren’t any already.
Any further Increase in temperature would produce fog or low ceilings, if they’re aren’t any already.

Answer 13

Any further decrease in temperature would produce fog or low ceilings, if they’re aren’t any already.

Question 14

The EPR is set at 1.9, and you turn on the anti-ice. What do you expect the EPR to read after the anti-ice is on?

2. 2
3. 8
4. 0
5. 1

Answer 14

1.8
Correct
Engine Pressure Ration (EPR) displays the ratio of turbine discharge pressure (exhaust) to engine inlet pressure (intake). EPR is one of the primary gauges to measure thrust produced especially during takeoff especially during takeoff for a “Pressure-Rated” engine. Typical EPR settings are between 1.4 and 3.0.
EEPP p. 149

Question 15

You are at FL370, 0.86IMN. You need to cross the outer marker at 1600 feet. When do you start your descent? Your descent profile assumes idle power and .86IMN transitioning to 300KIAS, then 250KIAS at 10000ft. Assume the aircraft slows down at 10KTS/NM.
  110NM from the OM.
  120 NM from the OM.
  105 from the OM.
  100 from the OM.

Answer 15

110NM from the OM.
Correct
110NM FROM THE OUTER MARKER (115 from the Airfield)

Step 1: [round 1600 to 2000] 37000-2000/1000 x 3 = 105NM
Step 2: 300KIAS-250KIAS = 50KTS / 10 KTS/NM = 5NM
Step 3: Descent + Speed reduction = 110NM
Step 4: Outer marker approx. 5nm from runway. So add 5NM if req.

Question 16

On climb out, there is no cabin pressure differential, what is the problem?
No problem continue the flight.
Pressure vessel failed to pressurize.
Negative pressure valve is stuck.

Answer 16

Pressure vessel failed to pressurize.

Question 17

What is the difference between stalls at high altitude and low altitude?
Stalling AOA is the same, higher TAS at stall at high altitude, more THRUST AVAILABLE for recovery at high altitude.
Stalling AOA is higher, higher TAS at stall at high altitude, not as much THRUST AVAILABLE for recovery at high altitude.
Stalling AOA is the same, higher TAS at stall at high altitude, not as much THRUST AVAILABLE for recovery at high altitude.
Stalling AOA is the same, lower TAS at stall at high altitude, not as much THRUST AVAILABLE for recovery at high altitude.

Answer 17

Stalling AOA is higher, higher TAS at stall at high altitude, not as much THRUST AVAILABLE for recovery at high altitude.

Question 18

You do an emergency descent to 9000 feet. When you level off, your cabin altitude reads 9000 feet, your differential pressure is zero, and rate of climb is zero. Does your problem still exist
No
Yes

Answer 18

Yes

Question 19

What is the higher TAS? (A) 250KCAS at FL370 and -40deg C (B) 260KCAS at FL300 and -30deg C (C) 350KTAS at 10000ft (D) 350KTAS at FL200 and -20deg C?
  (B) 260KCAS at FL300 and -30deg C.
  (A) 250KCAS at FL370 and -40deg C.
  (D) 350KTAS at FL200 and -20deg C.
  (C) 350KTAS at 10000ft.

Answer 19

(A) 250KCAS at FL370 and -40deg C.
Incorrect
Answers (C) and (D) are both 350KTAS, so you need to figure out the TAS of (A) and (B). A quick ROT to use is KTAS = KIAS + ALT/200. So for (A) 250 + 37000/200 = 250 + 185 = 435KTAS. (B) 260 + 30000/200 = 410KTAS.

Question 20

On an ILS, the aircraft in front of you reports a loss of 20KTS on final, what do you do?
Increase speed by 20kts.
Continue approach closely monitor airspeed.
Hold at the IAP.
Discontinue the approach.

Answer 20

Discontinue the approach.

Question 21

Landing on a runway narrower than normal, what visual effect may you experience?
You may fly a lower than normal approach to make runway appear to be smaller.
You may fly a higher than normal approach to make runway appear to be the width you are accustomed to.
You may fly a lower than normal approach to make runway appear to be the width you are accustomed to.
It’s easy just land

Answer 21

You may fly a lower than normal approach to make runway appear to be the width you are accustomed to.

Question 22

On landing your aircraft begins to drift to the left while in full reverse, what do you do?
Step only on the right brake.
Take both engines out of reverse, maintain control with rudder inputs or tiller.
Continue normal braking.
Use only right reverse and right brake.

Answer 22

Take both engines out of reverse, maintain control with rudder inputs or tiller.

Question 23

Two airplanes are traveling in the same direction 50nm apart. The one in front is going .76 IMN, and the one in the rear is going .86IMN. When will the one in the rear overtake the one in the front?
  45 Minutes.
  40 Minutes.
  50 minutes.
  35 Minutes.

Answer 23

50 minutes.
Correct
7.6NM/min and 8.6NM/min = 1NM/min advantage x 50 NM = 50 minutes

Question 24

What would have a faster Mach speed? 250KIAS at FL400 OAT -49 degrees C, 300KIAS at 10K OAT 6 degrees C, 250KIAS at 15K on a standard day, or 300KIAS at 5K on a standard day?
  300KIAS at 10K OAT 6 degrees C.
  250KIAS at 15K on a standard day.
  250KIAS at FL400.
  300KIAS at 5K on a standard day.

Answer 24

250KIAS at FL400.
Correct
The coldest temperature is going to produce the lowest local speed of sound and thus the highest IMN. 250 at FL400 = 450KTAS, 300 at 10K = 350KTAS, 250 at 15K = 325KTAS, 300 at 5K = 325KTAS

Question 25

After executing a missed approach, what airspeed would you climb out at if diverting?
V2 for the missed approach, then Vy for the en route climb.
VX (L/DMAX) for the missed approach, then Vy for the en route climb.
Just climb out it doesn’t matter.
Vy (L/DMAX) for the missed approach, then Vso for the en route climb.

Answer 25

VX (L/DMAX) for the missed approach, then Vy for the en route climb
Correct
Vx: The speed at which the aircraft will obtain the highest altitude in a given horizontal distance. This best angle-of-climb speed normally increases slightly with altitude.
Vy: the speed at which the aircraft will obtain the maximum increase in altitude per unit of time. This best rate-of-climb speed normally decreases slightly with altitude.
