Question 1

For a jet needing LDR to not exceed 60% of LDA and a prop not exceeding 70% of LDA. How do you calculate the LDA needed for the LDR?

Answer 1

Divide LDR by the %
Eg jet LDR of 1500m needs an LDA of 2500m
1500/0.6 = 2500

Question 2

Rearward CG advantages and disadvantages

Answer 2

ADVANTAGES:
Lower drag
Lower stall speed
Less power required
Increased range

DISADVANTAGES:
Higher Vmca
Reduced longitudinal stability

Question 3

Forward CG advantages and disadvantages

Answer 3

ADVANTAGES:
Lower Vmca
Increased longitudinal stability

DISADVANTAGES:
More drag
Higher stall speed
More power required
Reduced range

Question 4

What is the result of ram temperature rise

Answer 4

Thrust output from ram is less at very high speeds

Question 5

What happens to best range speed with less weight and more TW

Answer 5

Decreases

Question 6

What happens to best range speed with less weight and more TW

Answer 6

Decreases

Question 7

Does AOA vary for minimum thrust in level flight with weight changes

Answer 7

No

Question 8

Is MLRC faster or slower than max range and what happens to thrust with fuel burnt weight reduction

Answer 8

The same but has a reduction in thrust as fuel is burnt and weight reduces

Question 9

Where is CP generally located

Answer 9

33%MAC

Question 10

What is MAC

Answer 10

Mean aerodynamic chord is the average chord of wing accounting for sweep, washout and taper

Question 11

Speed certification is based on the most adverse CG
What CG is Vs based on

Answer 11

Forward CG

Question 12

Speed certification is based on the most adverse CG
What is the CG of Vmca

Answer 12

Rear CG

Question 13

Average TAS in a climb formula

Answer 13

TAS average = ANM / ETI x 60

Question 14

Average rate of climb formula

Answer 14

ROC = PA climbed / ETI

Question 15

SAR formula

Answer 15

SAR= TAS / FF

Question 16

SGR formula

Answer 16

SGR = GS / FF
Eg 450kts and FF of 4500kg per hour
450 / 4.5 = 100nm per T of fuel

Question 17

On the intergrated range tables what do you need to do to TAS with temperature

Answer 17

Increase TAS by 1kt per C above ISA
Decrease TAS by 1kt per C below ISA

Question 20

V2:
Is reached before____
Not less than______
Not less than_______

Answer 20

Is reached before 35ft
Not less than 1.1Vmca
Not less than 1.2Vs

Question 21

If V1 is not changed what will a wet runway do to the accelerated stop limited BRW

Answer 21

Reduce it

Question 22

What will adding a stopway to ASDR do to gross weight

Answer 22

Allow a higher gross weight with a higher V1 speed

Question 23

In cruise at constant Mach and altitude , what will an increase in OAT do to TAS and SAR

Answer 23

TAS will increase and SAR will not change

Question 24

Where is the B727 CG datum

Answer 24

Just in front of the main landing gear

Question 25

What will adding a clear way to TODA do to gross weight

Answer 25

Permit a higher gross weight amd a lower V1 speed

Question 26

What will adding a clear way to TODA do to gross weight

Answer 26

Permit a higher gross weight amd a lower V1 speed

Question 27

px altitude calculation

Answer 27

ASDA TODA STODA (1.9%) (if applicable-only if TODA exceeds 1.9% gradient

Question 30

What is the TODR

Answer 30

115% of the distance required to reach 35ft above the runway at a speed of greater than v2 from a standing start with all engines operating

Question 31

What happens if you don’t rotate at Vr

Answer 31

Longer take off run and take of distance required

What happens if you don’t rotate at Vr

Answer 32

Longer take off run and take of distance required

TODR 1 inop or engine out accelerate go distance is

Answer 33

On a dry runway to accelerate from standing start with all engines,have a critical engine (1 or 3) failure at Vef,continue and reach 35 ft at not less than v2

Question 34
