Question 5

An increase in atmospheric pressure has, among other things, the following consequences on landing performance:

Accepted Answer

a reduced landing distance and improved go-around performance

Answer

a reduced landing distance and degraded go around performance

Answer

an increased landing distance and degraded go-around performance

Answer

an increased landing distance and improved go-around performance

Question 6

The take-off distance of an aircraft is 600 m in a standard atmosphere, with no wind and at a pressure altitude of 0 ft. Using the following corrections: ± 20m / 1,000 ft field elevation, - 5m /kt headwind, ± 15m / % runway slope, ± 5m /°C deviation from standard temperature. The take-off distance from an airport at 1,000 ft elevation, temperature 17°C, QNH 1013.25 hPa, 1% up-slope, 10 kt tailwind is?

Accepted Answer

755 m

Answer

555 m

Answer

685 m

Answer

715 m

Question 7

To minimize the risk of hydroplaning during the landing the pilot of a modern airliner should:

Accepted Answer

make a "positive" landing and apply maximum reverse thrust and brakes as quickly as possible

Answer

use maximum reverse thrust, and should start braking below the hydroplaning speed

Answer

use normal landing, braking and reverse thrust techniques

Answer

postpone the landing until the risk of hydroplaning no longer exists

Question 8

An aircraft has two certified landing flaps positions 25° and 35°. If a pilot chooses 25° instead of 35°, the aircraft will have:

Accepted Answer

an increased landing distance and better go-around performance

Answer

a reduced landing distance and better go-around performance

Answer

an increased landing distance and degraded go-around performance

Answer

a reduced landing distance and degraded go-around performance

Question 9

May anti-skid be considered to determine the take-off and landing data?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Answer

Only for take-off

Answer

Only for landing

Answer

No

Question 10

An aircraft has two certified landing flaps positions, 25° and 35°. If a pilot chooses 35° instead of 25°, the aircraft will have:

Accepted Answer

a reduced landing distance and degraded go-around performance

Answer

an increased landing distance and better go-around performance

Answer

a reduced landing distance and better go-around performance

Answer

an increased landing distance and degraded go-around performance

Question 11

When approaching a wet runway, with the risk of hydroplaning, what technique should the pilot adapt?

Accepted Answer

Positive touch down, full reverse and only brakes below VP.

Answer

Positive touch down, full reverse and brakes as soon as possible.

Answer

Smoothest possible touch down, full reverse and only brakes below VP.

Answer

Normal landing, full reverse and brakes at VP.

Question 12

If a pilot elects to use 45 degree flap instead of the normal 35 degrees for landing what change in landing can be expected?

Accepted Answer

LDR is decreased and go-around performance is degraded.

Answer

LDR decreases and go-around performance is improved.

Answer

LDR increases and go- around performance is degraded.

Answer

LDR is increased and go-around performance is improved.
