Chapter 6.4 - Exam Review

Question 1

The distance from brakes release that an Aircraft requires to reach the lift-off speed and climb to the ’50-foot’ point, is known as the (takeoff distance required/takeoff distance available)?

Answer 1

Takeoff Distance Required.

Question 2

The TODA should always be (equal to or greater than/equal to or less than) the TODR?

Answer 2

Equal to or greater than.

Question 3

Any increase above the recommended lift-off speed will (increase/decrease) the TODR?

Answer 3

Increase.

Question 4

If the takeoff technique produces a takeoff safety speed below that specified in the takeoff chart for a particular weight, there will be a danger of (an increased takeoff distance required/the Aircraft stalling)?

Answer 4

The Aircraft Stalling.

Question 5

An increase in weight will (reduce/increase) the TODR?

Answer 5

Increase.

Question 6

At high elevation aerodromes, particularly on very hot days, the TODR is (increased/decreased) and the takeoff-climb performance is (improved/degraded)?

Answer 6

• Increased.

- Degraded.

Question 7

When operating from high elevations airports when the QNH is low, will the takeoff and climb-out performance de (degraded/improved)?

Answer 7

Degraded.

Question 8

Any factor which decreases the power output from the Engine at ‘full throttle’ on takeoff, will (decrease/increase) TODR?

Answer 8

Increase.

Question 9

An increase in air temperature above standard will (increase/decrease) the density height and therefore (increase/decrease) the LDR?

Answer 9

• Increase.

- Increase.

Question 10

The shortest distance will be achieved when taking off and landing (into a headwind/with a tailwind)?

Answer 10

Into a Headwind.

Question 11

The takeoff distance required is decreased with an (uphill/downhill) slope?

Answer 11

Downhill.

Question 12

A Runway surface of (short dry grass/long wet grass) will produce the longest TODR?

Answer 12

Long Wet Grass.

Question 13

Which type of Runway surface is more likely to increase the TODR – a dry surface or a wet slushy surface?

Answer 13

Wet Slushy Surface.

Question 14

Ground effect will (lengthen/shorten) the landing distance used if the approach speed is too high?

Answer 14

Lengthen.

Question 15

The Takeoff and Landing Distance Required will, in most instances, be (increased/decreased) by Windshear effect?

Answer 15

Increased.

Question 16

Frost on an Aircraft is likely to (increase/decrease) the TODR?

Answer 16

Increase.

Question 17

An approach speed higher than recommended will (increase/decrease) the LDR?

Answer 17

Increase.

Question 18

Describe what is the likely result in terms of landing performance if the flare technique is incorrect (3)?

Answer 18

Late touchdown and brake application, thus increasing the landing distance required

Question 19

Do landing charts for Light Training Aircraft normally take weight into account for Landing?

Answer 19

No.

Question 20

For Light Training Aircrafts, an increase in the gross weight for landing (increases/has little effect on/decreases) the LDR?

Answer 20

Has little effect on.

Question 21

What is the safety factor built into takeoff and landing weight charts for Light Aircraft’s like the Cessna and Piper?

Answer 21

A factor of +15%.

Question 22

What term is used to describe the situation where the maximum takeoff weight must be restricted to a limiting value (due to increased density height) to enable an Aircraft to climb at the specified gradient?

Answer 22

Climb Weight Limit.

Question 23

The maximum takeoff weight determined from the Takeoff Weight Chart is the (lesser/greater) of the takeoff performance and the climb weight limit?

Answer 23

Lesser.

Question 24

For Light Aircrafts, the climb weight limit for landing depends only on (pressure height/density height)?

Answer 24

Pressure Height.
