TO And Landing Performance

Question 1

The performance of to and landing is affected by

Answer 1

Weight, pressure altitude, humidity, temp, wind, runway length, slope, surface, flaps

Question 2

Safety factor for takeoff and landing calculations

Answer 2

1.33 and 1.43

Question 3

TOSS or V2

Answer 3

Takeoff safety speed

Question 4

Measured take off distance is

Answer 4

The distance to accelerate with maximum power to attain a screen height of 50ft at a speed not less than TOSS

Question 5

Lift-off speed

Answer 5

The speed at which the plane should rotate to be lifted. (not the takeoff speed, which is at 50ft)

Question 6

The use of flaps _____ the ground run

Answer 6

Decrease

Question 7

Flaps are _______ the stall speed

Answer 7

Lowering

Question 8

Because flaps are lowering the stall speed, the takeoff speed is ____

Answer 8

less

Question 9

A heavier plane needs _____ ground-run

Answer 9

more

Question 10

Increasing weight, the stalling speed ____

Answer 10

Increases

Question 11

The lift-off speed is related to the _____

Answer 11

stall speed

Question 12

An increased density altitude (less air density) means ______ take-off distance

Answer 12

More

Question 13

Low air density can be caused:

Answer 13

Low air pressure, high temprature

Question 14

If a performance graph doesn’t have pressure altitude + temp combinations and only pressure altitude, we can

Answer 14

Calculate density altitude and use it as our measurement

Question 15

High humidity as the effect of ____ air density

Answer 15

Lowering

Question 16

In headwing, takeoff distance is ____

Answer 16

reduced

Question 17

To estimate strength of crosswind component at a runway, these mental calculations:

Answer 17

If the wind is 30° off the runway heading, crosswind component is 1/2 of the wind strength
if 45°, 2/3
if 60°, 9/10
if 90°, full crosswind speed

Question 18

Calculate crosswinds and tailwinds revision1!!!

Question 19

Poor runway surface _____ the take-off ground run

Answer 19

increases

Question 20

Grass runway increases the length of the take-off distance by

Answer 20

20-30%

Question 21

A downslope will ______ the ground run

Answer 21

Decrease

Question 22

A 2% upslope will increase the takeoff distance by

Answer 22

10%

Question 23

Crosswind component calculation

Answer 23

Wind speed * sin (wind direction - runway direction)

Question 24

Headwind/ tailwind component calcualation

Answer 24

Wind speed * cos (wind direction-runway direction)

Question 25

ED

Answer 25

Emergency distance

Question 26

LDA

Answer 26

Landing distance available

Question 27

Same as takeoff distance, landing distance is considered to be

Answer 27

When 50ft above the runway until a full stop

Question 28

A landing speed will usually be

Answer 28

1.3Vstall

Question 29

Forces affecting landing performance

Answer 29

Weight (because of increased stall speed + braking has more work)
Density altitude
Wind
Surface
Flaps
Slope

Question 30

In a low density air, the true air speed is ______

Answer 30

Higher than IAS

Question 31

If landing in low density, the ground run will

Answer 31

Longer, because the true airspeed is bigger

Question 32

The ground speed of landing in low density will be

Answer 32

Higher

Question 33

A headwind ______ ground speed

Answer 33

Reduces

Question 34

A wet runway will result in

Answer 34

Longer landing distance

Question 35

Aquaplaning

Answer 35

The wheel skating on a wet surface but no rotating

Question 36

A downslope will require

Answer 36

Longer landing distance
