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.
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.
The L/D max airspeed turbojet aircraft is best described as-
The speed at which the best rate of climb is achieved.
The speed at which maximum range is achieved.
The speed at which the maximum lift is produced.
The speed at which the maximum endurance is achieve
The speed at which the maximum endurance is achieve
ATC assigns you to maintain 210 knots. When are you allowed to slow down?
When you’re established on the final approach course.
When ATC tells you that you can.
When you’re cleared for the approach.
When you’re cleared for the approach.
Which type of icing will cause ice to form more quickly? Freezing rain. Wet snow. Sleet and snow. Snow.
Freezing rain.
You are told to maintain 310KIAS in the transition. Compared to 250KIAS what is true regarding the descent?
You will transition from Mach to IAS at a higher altitude.
Same altitude.
At a lower altitude.
At a lower altitude.
If you are on an ILS approach at 180KTS, what is your rate of descent? 350 FPM. 600 FPM. 400 FPM. 900 FPM.
900 FPM.
What happens to MCRIT with an increase in altitude? MCRIT decreases. It depends on the temperature. Increases. Remains the same.
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.
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.
It is the region of flight speeds below maximum endurance airspeed (L/D Max), where a decrease in airspeed requires an increase in power.
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.
35 minutes.
Correct
9000/60 = 150 LBS/Min, 7500LBS / 150 LBS-min = 50 minutes
I DON’T KNOW WHY IT SAYS 50MIN
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.
Continue takeoff, rotate, and accelerate to and climb out at V2.
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.
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.
True/False. For overseas flights in a large turbojet aircraft, life preservers must be provided for each passenger.
False
True
True
Where is the highest temperature found in a Jet engine? Turbine outlet. Turbine inlet. Compressor. Exhaust.
Turbine inlet.
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.
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.
