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

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

PA 4000 FT

20kt tailwind
Anti skid operative
Auto spoilors
Ac auto
Type in question 4150 FT

They say that 4150 FT is the answer I typed it in the exam but I
got this question wrong ( I think there is 2 or 3 versions of this
question they only change the flaps setting from 30 to 35 and
pressure altitude from 2000 to 4000) the answer of one of these
versions is 4150 ft maybe
If you have auto spoilers and antiskid operative don’t add or
substract

650 feet at the end (NOT SUBSTRACT)

slope will:
allow an increase in mass ( exact wording :Vmbe-limited TOM increases. )
54. The use of reduced Thrust for T/O is permitted:
If the TOM is less than the field length and climb limited take
off masses …..

you can maintain visual contact with
the obstacle and you wont be turning more than 15 degrees. What distance
horizontally you must be cleared by from the obstacle?

65 - WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF EXCESS THRUST ON CLIMB AT CONSTANT ANGLE
Accelerate and climb gradient increases ( i went for this answer)
Accelerate and pitch angle increases
Accelerate and rate of climb increases

68 when desending at a giving TAS in standard speed range above speed of the best angle of
descent how does mass effect rate of descent and descent gradient
An increase of mass descrease the rate of descent and decrease the gradient of descent
An increase of mass increase the rate of descent and increase the gradient of descent
An decrease of mass descrease the rate of descent and increase the gradient of descent ( i went
with this)
An decrease of mass increase the rate of descent and decrease the gradient of descent
70 - (select 3 out of 4) which of the following apply to the take off distance for class B operating
from a dry runway
With stopway and/or clearway available, when multiplied by 1.15 it should not exceed TODA
Without stopway nor clearway available, when multiplied by 1.25 it should not exceed TORA
With stopway and/or clearway available, when multiplied by 1.15 it should not exceed ASDA
With stopway and/or clearway available, it should not exceed TORA
(the approximate wording, and choices, can’t remember much)
71- Which statement is true regarding clearway ?
Banana : a clearway has a minimum width of 90 m
(most probable answer) A clearway is a portion of land or water at the end of runway, and must
under control of the airport authority
The clearway surface must be able to support the aircraft weight
72- on runway with compacted snow ( drop down question)
TODR is unchanged ASDR increase
73- For classway A on landing on wet runway runway the landing is multiplied by (type in
question)
1.15
74- if mach is kept constant while descending ( drop down question)
IAS increase….. TAS increase
75- with higher pressure (not altitude)
Landing distance decrease and better climb performance
76- if the antiskid was inoperative on one of the aircraft wheels
ASDR increase
77- 42- type in question ( 3 marks)

for class B aircraft 50 feet screen height, obstacle height above reference zero is
600 feet, the horizontal distance to the obstacle is 15000 feet in the first phase
with both engine running the rate of climb is 1870ft/min (it might be 1780
wouldnt make a big difference), at height 300ft one engine fail, the rate of climb
with one engine is 400 feet/min, TAS is 101

By how much you clear the obstacle

I didn’t get this question in the exam but I did the calculation ended up with 232
ft (with 1870 ft/min and 230 ft with 1780 ft/min)

2. IAS consant while climbing TAS increase exceed MMO

3. Class b = mep = power increase drag increase (Bristol)

4. An skid inopera ve (fllm) = asdr increase v1 decrease (there is no increase in v1

in op ons). (s ll to confirm )

5. Service ceiling influences:

* air temperature and cg.

* winds and pressure.

* max diff pressure and winds.

* Airspace capacity.

11. in order to eliminate cri cal engine failure problem:

* contre rota ng propeller are installed.(my answer).

* all prop turning in the same direc on.

* engines not in the centre of aeroplane.

* use three blades only (something like that)

12- on jet aeroplane

max range 1.32 vmd, max endurance vmd.

14. in the thrust vs speed, the speed at the minimum of the curve (reworded):

The answer is: max endurance because fuel flow propor onal to the thrust at the
minimum.

15.balanced field (reworded) :

* …. At the same ASD, one engine inopera ve TOD,one engine inopera ve TOR.

* … At the same ASD, all engine TOD, all engine TOR.

* runway limited wih single speed.

(it’s not the exact one from Bristol but we think the same meaning, S ll to
confirm)
