The mass of fuel used to produce thrust per unit of time.

A

Higher aircraft has a reduced ROC

18
Q

Factors affecting Drift Down flight path

A

Mass at start of drift down

Pressure Altitude

Temperature

19
Q

What happens if excess thrust increases?

A

Aircraft accelerates

ROC increases

20
Q

What is TODA

A

Takeoff Distance Available

TORA + Clearway (max is TORA 1.5)

21
Q

Factors affecting level off altitude (ENG OUT Drift down)

A

Weight

Temperature

22
Q

PA 10000 FT
TEMP -2

A

4 kts tail
6 kts tail
24 kts headwind

** 19 kts headwind ( right answer)

23
Q

How does an increase in mass affect Vx and Vy?

A

Vx and Vy are increased

24
Q

You are planning to fly a turbojet to an airfield with a LDA of 2300 ft. It has a 2% downhill and it will be wet at the time of landing. What is the landing distance to comply with regulations.

A

(You need to factor for the wet runway because its landing divide by 1.15 then divide by 1,67 (no downslope factorisation check page 349)

25
Q

Effects of an upslope on TODR and (stopping distance/ASD)

A

TODR is increased,

**stopping distance is decreased

** or ASD increases.

26
Q

Fig. 3,2 TODA= 3000, ASDA=2600, TORA= 2000, What is the Field Length limited TOM?

A

Divide TODA 1.15 -> 3000->2600

Divide ASDA 1.3 > 2600 -> 2000

Divide TORA by 1 = 2000

Enter the graph with lowest figure

27

A

The lowest of PLTOM and maxiumum structural TOM

28
Q

Flying in tropics at FL350, thunderstorms en route. 1.4g buffet margin of M0.79 to M0.81. Decision?

A

Descent to FL330 where the buffet margin increases to M0.72 to M.084, navigate around cells

29

To not exceed MMO

30
Q

What is the specific range

A

TAS/Fuel Flow

31
Q

On take-off from an un-balanced field you have an available range of V1’s.
