#5. During a glide at constant Mach number, the pitch angle of the aeroplane will:

• Adecrease.
• Bincrease.
• Cincrease at first and decrease later on.
• Dremain constant.

#1. Which statement with respect to the step climb is correct?

• AA step climb provides better economy than a cruise climb.
• BPerforming a step climb based on economy can be limited by the 1.3g altitude.
• Cn principle a step climb is performed immediately after the aircraft has exceeded the optimum altitude.
• DA step climb may not be performed unless it is indicated in the filed flight plan.

#2. Which statement with respect to the step climb is correct?

• AA step climb is executed because ATC desires a higher altitude.
• BA step climb is executed in principle when, just after levelling off, the 1.3g altitude is reached.
• CExecuting a desired step climb at high altitude can be limited by buffet onset at g-loads larger than 1.
• DA step climb must be executed immediately after the aeroplane has exceeded the optimum altitude.
