TODA

Answer 8

TOD X 1.15

Question 9

ASDA

Answer 9

TOD x 1.3

Question 10

Class B and Sloped runways

Answer 10

1% = 5%
2% = 10%
Anything above requires authorisation

Question 11

X1.0

Question 14

Obstacle clearance past reference zero

Answer 14

60m + 1/2 wingspans (up to 90m)
0.125 x distance

Question 15

Track changes on obstacle clearance

Answer 15

VMC - 300m (AOB less than 15 degrees)
VMC - 600m (AOB greater than 15 degrees)

IMC - 600m (AOB less than 15 degrees)

Question 16

Gradient of the take off flight path from 50ft to the engine failure height is the average all engine gradient multiplied by a factor of

Answer 16

0.77

Question 17

Assumptions on take off flight path for class B aeroplanes

Answer 17

Begins at 50ft above surface at end of TODR and up to 1500ft
Aircraft is not banked before 50ft above surface
Angle of bank does not exceed 15 degrees after this point
Failure of the critical engine occurs at the cloud base

Question 18

Relationship between VR/VMC/VS1 for multi engine land plane

Answer 18

VR must one be less than the greater of 1.05VMC or 1.1VS1

Question 19

Given VS1 and VMC how do you find climb speed

Answer 19

VS1 X 1.2
VMC X 1.1

Biggest number of the two = climb speed
