Question 11

You are taking off RWY 360 with the winds 180 degrees at 15kts. The published runway magnetic heading is 360 degrees, actual aircraft heading on the RWY is 355 degrees. What heading do you fly if told to fly runway heading?
  300 degrees.
  360 degrees.
  355 degrees.
  350 degrees.

Answer 11

360 degrees.
Correct
RUNWAY HEADING − The magnetic direction that corresponds with the runway centerline extended, not the painted runway number. When cleared to “fly or maintain runway heading,” pilots are expected to fly or maintain the heading that corresponds with the extended centerline of the departure runway. Drift correction shall not be applied; e.g., Runway 4, actual magnetic heading of the runway centerline 044, fly 044.
The same guidance is described on p. 2-35 of the Instrument Procedures Handbook:
Additionally, when required, departure instructions specify the actual heading to be flown after takeoff, as is the case in figure 2-34 under the departure route description, “Climb via heading 112 degrees…” Some existing procedures specify, “Climb runway heading.” Over time, both of these departure instructions will be updated to read, “Climb heading 112 degrees….” Runway Heading is the magnetic direction that corresponds with the runway centerline extended (charted on the AIRPORT DIAGRAM), not the numbers painted on the runway. Pilots cleared to “fly or maintain runway heading” are expected to fly or maintain the published heading that corresponds with the extended centerline of the departure runway (until otherwise instructed by ATC), and are not to apply drift correction; e.g. RWY 11, actual magnetic heading of the runway centerline 112.2 degrees, “fly heading 112 degrees.” In the event of parallel departures, this prevents a loss of separation caused by only one aircraft applying a wind drift.

At a lower altitude.

Question 16

If you are on an ILS approach at 180KTS, what is your rate of descent?
  350 FPM.
  600 FPM.
  400 FPM.
  900 FPM.

Answer 16

900 FPM.

Question 17

What happens to MCRIT with an increase in altitude?
  MCRIT decreases.
  It depends on the temperature.
  Increases.
  Remains the same.

Answer 17

MCRIT decreases.
Correct
First the definition of MCRIT is the lowest Mach number at which the airflow over some point of the aircraft reaches the speed of sound, usually at the wing root, and “mach buffet” will begin to occur. For a given airspeed or Mach number, an increase in altitude results in a higher AOA. Thus an increase in AOA requires higher airflow velocity over the top of the wing, which in turn produces a higher local Mach number.

Question 18

Define “region of reverse command”
It is the region of flight speeds below maximum endurance airspeed (L/D Max), where a decrease in airspeed requires a decrease in power.
It is the region of flight speeds below maximum endurance airspeed (L/D Max), where an increase in airspeed requires an increase in power.
It is the region of flight speeds below maximum endurance airspeed (L/D Max), where a decrease in airspeed requires an increase in power.
It is the region of flight speeds above maximum endurance airspeed (L/D Max), where a decrease in airspeed requires an increase in power.

Answer 18

It is the region of flight speeds below maximum endurance airspeed (L/D Max), where a decrease in airspeed requires an increase in power.

Question 19

Your aircraft is burning nine thousand pounds of fuel per hour.  How much time do you have left if you have 5250 on board?
  40 minutes.
  30 minutes.
  35 minutes.
  55 minutes.

Answer 19

35 minutes.
Correct
9000/60 = 150 LBS/Min, 7500LBS / 150 LBS-min = 50 minutes
I DON’T KNOW WHY IT SAYS 50MIN

Question 20

On takeoff the left engine fails at 127KIAS. V1 is 125KIAS. What do you do?
Reject immediately.
Continue takeoff, delay rotation and climb at vy.
Continue takeoff, rotate, and accelerate to and climb at VX.
Continue takeoff, rotate, and accelerate to and climb out at V2.

Answer 20

Continue takeoff, rotate, and accelerate to and climb out at V2.

Question 21

An aircraft is flying in 1g flight. The aircraft returns to 0G flight, which of the following is true?
Induced drag is decreased. Parasite drag is increased.
Parasite drag is increased and induced drag is increased.
Only induced drag is decreased.
Induced drag increased and parasite drag is decreased.

Answer 21

Induced drag is decreased. Parasite drag is increased
This is because you have reduced lift, therefore induced drag is reduced. If the airspeed increases in the 0G unload, parasite drag will increase.

Question 22

False
True

Answer 22

True

Question 23

Where is the highest temperature found in a Jet engine?
  Turbine outlet.
  Turbine inlet.

Question 24

Does altitude affect stall speed?
  Altitude doesn’t affect the stall speed.
  It will occur at the same TAS.
  It will occur at a higher TAS.
  It will occur at a lower TAS.

Answer 24

It will occur at a higher TAS.
Correct
Aircraft stall at the same AOA regardless of altitude. For a given configuration, IAS will remain the same. Increase in weight, wing loading (g), will increase IAS.

Question 25

On takeoff, ATC instructs you to turn immediately to a designated heading. When do you turn?
400ft, or when you are able to safely turn out.
As soon as instructed no matter what the altitude is.
Once beyond the departure end and clear of traffic.
At the departure end of runway.

400ft, or when you are able to safely turn out.

Question 33

You are on the 270R at 60 DME at 1800Z. The aircraft is traveling at 0.6M. ATC instructs you to report when crossing the 300R. When will that be:
  1825
  1830
  1820
  1805
Correct

Answer 33

1805

Question 34

Passing FL210 while climbing to FL350, you have a pressurization problem. What indications will you have
Pressure differential will decrease, cabin altitude will decrease.
Pressure differential will decrease, cabin altitude will be increasing.
Pressure differential will remain the same and cabin altitude increases.
Pressure differential will increase, cabin altitude will increase.

Answer 34

Pressure differential will decrease, cabin altitude will be increasing.
Correct
Pressure differential is the difference between outside air pressure and the pressure vessel (cabin.) A standard pressure differential is about 7.5-9.5 PSI. If the pressure differential is decreasing it means that the cabin is not pressurizing.

Question 35

What happens to TAS, IAS, and GS when taking off out of a high-density airport?
IAS increases, TAS increases, GS increases.
IAS decreases, TAS increases, GS increases.
IAS remains the same, TAS increases, GS increases.
IAS remains the same, TAS increases, GS remains the same.

Answer 35

IAS remains the same, TAS increases, GS increases.
Correct
Regardless of pressure altitude, IAS required to takeoff remains constant (same amount of air molecules going over the wing are required to lift off.) However at higher pressure altitudes (think Denver) the air is less dense and therefore require a higher TAS and thus a higher GS is required.
