Answer 1

1. Pressure altitude
2. Surface wind
3. Weight
4. Flap setting
5. Runway slope
6. RCR
7. Temperature

Question 2

Increasing temperature does what to takeoff distance?

Answer 2

Reduces acceleration and thus increases TO roll.

Question 3

Increasing temperature does what to landing distance?

Answer 3

Higher temp increases landing TAS and increases landing distance.

Question 4

How does increasing pressure altitude affect takeoff distance?

Answer 4

Thrust available decreases, TO TAS increases, increasing overall takeoff.

Question 5

How does increasing pressure altitude affect landing distance?

Answer 5

Higher PA equals higher landing TAS and longer landing

Question 6

An increase in headwind does what to takeoff distance?

Answer 6

decreases it

Question 7

An increase in headwind does what to landing distance?

Answer 7

reduces the effective landing groundspeed and thus reduces the landing distance.

Question 8

How does an increase in aircraft weight affect takeoff performance?

Answer 8

Decreases acceleration and increases the required IAS for liftoff requiring a longer takeoff roll.

Question 9

How does an increase in aircraft weight affect landing performance?

Answer 9

The greater the weight the greater the kinetic energy you need to dissipate on landing roll, thus requiring a longer landing

Question 10

How does lowering the wing flaps affect the takeoff performance in the T-38?

Answer 10

60% flaps significantly increase lift with minimal drag increase, allows aircraft to achieve the required lift at a much slower airspeed.

Question 11

How does lowering the wing flaps affect landing performance?

Answer 11

Decreases aircraft stall speed and allows for a slower landing speed.

Question 12

How does a runway upslope affect takeoff performance?

Answer 12

Decreases acceleration rate which results in a longer takeoff roll.

Question 13

How does a runway upslope affect landing performance?

Answer 13

Increases the deceleration of the aircraft resulting in a shorter landing

Question 14

How does a lower RCR affect the T-38 takeoff performance?

Answer 14

little to no effect

Question 15

How does a lower RCR affect the T-38 landing performance?

Answer 15

Increases the lading distance due to the reduced friction

Question 16

Answer 16

Crosswinds greater than 15 knots

Question 17

Question 21

If crosswind exceeds 15 kts including the gusts then the following restrictions apply

Answer 21

1. No solo student takeoffs
2. Airborne studs will land at alternate
3. Min length for 60% and 100% flap T&G w/o barrier is 10,000.
4. No flap T&G not permitted w/o barrier

Answer 24

6000 FPM
180* change up to 50 knots

Question 25

Strongest wake turbulance is generated by aircraft that are?

Answer 25

heavy, clean and slow

Question 26

Minimum wake turbulence behind large aircraft or heli?

Answer 26

2 Min

Question 27

Minimum wake turbulence behind heavy aircraft?

Answer 27

4 min

Question 28

Total dynamic hydroplaning speed?

Answer 28

146kts

Question 29

non rotating tire hydroplaning speed?

Answer 29

125 kts

Question 30

Takeoff Speed (TOS) def

Answer 30

the speed at which the main gear lift off the runway.

Question 31

Single-Engine Taeoff Speed (SETOS)

Answer 31

Speed at which the aircraft is able to climb, once clear of ground effect, at a min of 100FPM with gear down, flaps 60%. Rotation is initiated at SETOS dueing a signle-engine takeoff. Min SETOS is 2 engine TOS

Question 32

Takeoff Distance (TOD)

Answer 32

Distance in feet from brake release to maing gear liftoff

Question 33

Normal Acceleration Check Speed (NACS)

Answer 33

The speed an average T-38C should reach at a specified check distance.

Question 34

Minimum Acceleration Check Speed (MACS)

Answer 34

Min acceptable speed at teh check distance with which takeoff should be continued.

Question 35

Refusal Speed (RS)

Answer 35

The max speed to which the aircraft is able to accelerate with both engines operative in MAX and with: about with both engines operating or abort with an engine failure.

Question 36

Decision Speed (DS)

Answer 36

Min speed at which the aircraft is able to experience an instantaneous engine failure and still accelerate to SETOS and takeoff (approx: 700ft from start of rotation at SETOS) in the remaining runway.

Question 37

Critical Engine Failure Speed (CEFS)

Answer 37

Speed to which and aircraft can accelerate with both engines, lose an engine, and permit either accel to SETOS and takeoff or deceleration to a stop in the same distance.

Question 38

Critical Field Length (CFL)

Answer 38

Distance in which CEFS allows accel or decel in the same distance.

Question 39

Landing distance (LD)

Answer 39

The distance required after main gear touchdown to slow the aircraft from landing speed to a safe taxi speed using normal braking.
