Which is true of runway slope in rela on to performance calcula ons for aircra in Performance Group A? If you expect to use less than the whole runway, the value employed should take account of this fact The overall runway slope value should always be needed It can generally be disregarded when less than 0.25% uphill or downslope It can generally be disregarded when less than 0.25% downhill or 0.5% uphill 6. For which airplane in Performance Group A is this statement true? "If an alternate airport is designated in the flight plan, the landing distance required may be that appropriate to an alternate aerodrome when assessing the ability of the airplane to sa sfy the requirement of the des na on aerodrome." Turbo prop and piston engine Turbo prop only Turbo jet and turbo jet Turbo jet only 7. For a given declared temperature at which the aircra performance is being assessed, if it is within a certain temperature of the maximum aircra opera ng temperature, the use of declared temperature is not permi ed. 2°C 5°C 8°C 10°C 8. Which is true of the declared distance for a given runway? LDA and TODA are equal Stopway cannot be longer than clearway The maximum slope for a clearway plane is 1.25% ASDA comprises the useable runway length plus clearway 9. Which is true about TODA? It is at least 1.5 x TODA It is always greater than ASDA It starts at the beginning of the clearway It is useable runway length plus clearway 10. Which is true of the declared distance for a given runway? LDA is always greater than ASDA The maximum slope for the clearway is 1.25° ASDA comprises the useable runway length plus any stopway Whenever TORA and ASDA are equal a balanced field is said to exist 11. Which is true of the declared distance for a given runway? LDA is always greater than TORA LDA is always greater than TODA When TORA and LDA are equal a balanced field is said to exist Stopway must be able to support an aircra without causing structural damage. (Exam ques on has an op on "LDA includes stopway", which is incorrect, stopway op on is incorrect, says something like it must be at least as strong as TORA) 12. Which is the correct procedure in rela on to the moment at which an engine failure is recognised? If it is before Vref con nue the take-off If it is at V1 abandon the take-off If it is a er V2, maintain speed at engine failure up to flap retrac on height If it is between V1 and V2 achieve V2+10kts and maintain up to flap retrac on height 13. Assuming take-off weight, V1Nr ra o and aerodrome ambient condi ons remain constant. A decrease in take-off flap se ng will cause: V1 & V2 to increase V1 & V2 to decrease Vr increases & V2 decreases Vr decreases & V2 increases 14. Minimum control speed (Vmcg) on the ground: Increases with an increase in ambient temperature for the same pressure al tude Decreases with a decrease in pressure al tude for the same ambient temperature Decreases with an increase in ambient temperature for the same pressure al tude Increases at takeoff weight increases 15. Which is true of Vmcg on the ground? It is not affected by changes in pressure al tude It is always dependant on takeoff weight It decreases with decrease in pressure al tude for the same temperature It increases with a decrease in ambient temperature for the same pressure al tude 16. In addi on to runway slope and wind component, which one of the following sets of factors affects the brake energy (Vmbe)? Aeroplane weight, load distribu on and ambient temperature Aeroplane weight, stopway available and tyre speed ra ng Aeroplane weight, aerodrome pressure al tude and ambient temperature Load distribu on, tyre speed ra ng and clearway available 17. Regarding improved V2 climb, which statements are correct? 1. Increasing V2 requires an increase in V1 and Vr 2. Increase in takeoff speeds (V1NrN2) increases TODR 3. Takeoff climb limit weight is reduced 4. With an increase in takeoff speed, tyre speed limit and Vmbe may become limi ng 1&3 1, 2 & 3 1, 2 & 4- All of the above 18. When an aeroplanes take-off weight is not field length limited, the benefits of selec ng a lower V1 are: 1. Improved obstacle clearance 2. Reduced aircra noise 3. Greater stop margin for a RTO 4. Decrease chance of exceeding Vmbe 2&3 3&4 2, 3 & 4 All of the above 19. Takeoff decision speed (V1) is the speed: 1. from which a decision to con nue the takeoff is made, which results in a takeoff distance to a height of 35 on a dry runway at a speed of V2, that will not exceed the useable takeoff distance 2. at which the engine failure is recognised 3. at which the first ac on is taken to bring the aeroplane to a full stop and will not exceed the ASDA 1 only 1&3 1&2 All of the above 20. Which one of the following is correct in rela on to takeoff flight path? The second segment extends from the end of the first to a net height of 400' at constant V2 (correct answer if gross height of 400') The final take-off segment extends from the level off height to a gross height of 1500' or more, using maximum climb thrust (correct answer if max con nuous thrust) The gross level off height is the maximum height at which the accelera on segment may be scheduled using take-off thrust The third segment is the only segment in which a turn may be planned. 21. When an obstacle is to be cleared, on the basis of an extended second segment climb: It can be any obstacle in the take-off flight path It must be the first obstacle in the take-off flight path There must be a minimum accelera on/climb gradient capability of 3.2% at all points in the take-off flight path above 400' gross height There must be a minimum accelera on/climb gradient capability of 1.5% at all points in the take-off flight path above 400’ gross height. 22. What thrust se ngs should be used for opera ng engines in the third segment of the flight path? Take-off Maximum con nuous Maximum climb Take-off un l the flaps are retracted, then maximum con nuous 23. Select the answer which you consider will correctly complete the following statement. "The net takeoff flight path extends from (i) to 1500' above aerodrome level, and should clear any obstacle in its path by a ver cal interval of (ii)" (i) 35' above the end of the TODA (ii) 35' or 50' during a turn exceeding 15° change in direc on (i) 35' above the end of the TODR (ii) 35' regardless of the change of direc on (i) 35' above the end of the TODR (ii) 35' or 50' if the aeroplane changes direc on by up to 10° (i) 35' above the end of the TODR (ii) 35' or 50'during a turn exceeding 15° change in direc on. 24. The minimum level off pressure al tude, as applied to the clearance of distant obstacles when using the extended second segment climb procedure, may be defined as: The maximum height at which accelera on and flap retrac on may be scheduled The net height of obstacle clearance converted to pressure al tude The maximum height above aerodrome level at which the flap may be retracted The al tude below which accelera on and flap retrac on should not be scheduled 25. An obstacle is iden fied as being 5920m from the end of the take-off distance available, and is 830m from the intended line of flight. Given the wing span of the aircra is 48m, the semi width of the funnel at a given point is? ('/2 wingspan + 60m + distance/8) or 900m whichever is less (not given this formula in the exam) 740m, thus the obstacle is insignificant 800m, thus the obstacle is significant 824m, thus the obstacle is insignificant 900, thus the obstacle is significant 26. Takeoff WAT curve for an aircra in Performance Group A assumes: No engine failure Engine failure on the ground No engine failure before free air safety speed No engine failure before screen height is reached 27. At a given take-off weight, aerodrome ambient condi ons and characteris cs, an increase in take- off flap se ng will (i) the second segment climb gradient and (ii) the takeoff distance required. (i) decrease (ii) decrease (i) increase (ii) increase (i) decrease (ii) increase (i) increase (ii) decrease 28. Decrease flap from 10° to 5° will result in I. Increase in field length limit for a given runway 2. Increase climb limit weight 3. Increase VI speed for a given weight 1 only 1&2 2&3 All of the above (I think the ques on in the exam was increase flap from 5 to 10 in which case the op ons would also reflect that) 29. "All other factors remaining constant, a decrease in aerodrome pressure al tude will: (i) the take- off distance required and (ii) the second segment net gradient of climb. (i) decrease (ii) decrease (i) increase (ii) increase (i) increase (ii) decrease (i) decrease (ii) increase 30. Using a higher V2 (i) TODR and (ii) distance to an obstacle, resul ng in a (iii) climb gradient required. (i) increases (ii) decreases (iii) increased (i) decreases (ii) increases (iii) decreased (i) increases (ii) increases (iii) increased (i) decreases (ii) decreases (iii) decreased 31. Obstacle height is generally referenced to the eleva on at the end of the TODA. Assuming the climb gradient is constant, the flight path of an uphill slope runway will begin at a rela vely (i) eleva on rela ve to a downhill slope. higher lower same may be higher or lower (Exam ques on was a bit different, answers were laid out like ques on 30. First nominate if it is TODA or TODR then downhill slope starts at higher eleva on or uphill slope starts at higher eleva on) 32. Using a wet V I on a wet runway, compared to a dry V1 on a dry runway, in the event of an engine failure the safety margin with a con nued take-off will: always increase always decrease remain the same increase or decrease depending on V 1/Vr speeds 33. Opera ons involving the use of variable take-off thrust may be conducted: in condi ons where the performance limit take-off weight at the ambient temperature exceeds the actual take-off weight. in condi ons where the actual take-off weight exceeds the performance limited take-off weight at the ambient temperature with not more than the reserve thrust on one engine or an -skid inopera ve in condi ons with increased V2 procedure for improved obstacle clearance 34. Which of the following statements is true concerning opera ons involving the use of variable take-off thrust? An acceptable assumed temperature may be described as one at which the performance limit takeoff weight equals or exceeds the actual take-off weight. Vmcg is determined using the max assumed temperature The use of variable take-off thrust is mandatory where a noise abatement procedure is required for departure Tyre speed and brake energy limit should be checked using the ambient temperature 35. Which one of the following statements is true concerning the calcula on of the maximum speed for abandoning take-off Vstop on a contaminated runway The decision speed V1 wet should be used as the Vstop Vstop must always be greater than Vmcg Vstop should always be within 5kts of the calculated V1 wet Vstop may be less than Vmcg 36.

Which of the following statements are true concerning opera on on a contaminated runway? Take-off from a runway contaminated by up to 20mm of standing water may be made, providing the max speed for abandoning take-off (Vstop) on such a runway is used as the VI wet for take-off The use of increased V2 procedure in the interest of improved climb performance is recommended Take-off may be made with reported tailwind up to 5kts Any significant loss of runway distance available due to line up for take-off should taken into account for and take-off performance. 38.
