Which of the following statements regarding energy is true? - โโd. Kinetic energy can be traded for potential energy, and potential energy can be traded for kinetic energy The objective in maneuvering the airplane is to manage energy so that: - โโd. All of the above What is the effect on total drag if airspeed slows below L/D Max? - โโc. Drag increases because of increased induced drag. A jet pilot flying at L/D Max will obtain best: - โโb. Endurance When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag predominates? - โโa. Parasite While already at high speed, what happens if Mach is allowed to increase? - โโd. All of the above What is the result of a shock-induced separation of airflow occurring symmetrically near the wing root of a swept wing aircraft? - โโc. A severe moment of "Mach tuck" The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing altitude. This occurs because: - โโa. The air temperature decreases. Critical Mach number can be defined as: - โโc. The speed of an aircraft in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first reaches, but doesn't exceed Mach 1.0. Stability in the vertical axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic stability about the vertical axis on modern jet transports is from: - โโc. An active stability augmentation system / yaw damper.
Swept wings cause a significant: - โโb. Reduction in effectiveness of flaps. Why is convergence of Stall AOA and Mmo hazardous? - โโd. All of the above To maintain altitude in a banked turn, the lift produced by the airplane must be: - โโa. Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount is a function of bank angle. Excessive bank angles at high altitudes can be hazardous because: - โโd. All of the above When operating at constant speed with constant thrust setting at high altitude (typically above FL250) in slow flight below L/D Max airspeed, any disturbance causing a decrease in airspeed will result in a further decrease in airspeed unless thrust in increased. High altitude recovery from slow flight while turning is best accomplished by: - โโc. Increasing thrust to maximum available thrust and reducing bank angle while accelerating to airspeed above L/D Max speed. In a thrust limited situation, exiting slow flight will require an immediate descend as an aerodynamic stall is imminent. Maximum Altitude is the highest altitude at which an airplane can be operated. Maximum Altitude for an airplane is: - โโe. The lowest of the above listed altitudes. Exceed the critical angle of attack and the surface will stall, and lift will decrease instead of increasing. This is true: - โโd. Regardless of airplane speed or attitude. Which of the following statements is true? - โโd. Recovery from approach to stall warning is the same as recovery from a stall. The airplane angle of attack is the angle between the wing chord and the oncoming air or relative wind.
During recovery from an airplane upset: - โโd. Pilots must be prepared to use full control authority. Why do de-icing methods typically require the airplane to be sprayed twice? - โโc. The second application of fluid is more viscous, so it will stick to the airplane until takeoff for continued protection. Why is clear air turbulence difficult to avoid? - โโd. All of the above. Radar attenuation occurs when: - โโa. A precipitation cell near the airplane absorbs/reflects all the radio energy from a radar pulse, thus masking another cell behind it. To determine whether they may conduct a particular low-visibility operation, an airline pilot primarily must consult: - โโc. Their employer's OpSpecs If an autoland system is designated sich that it can continue to a safe landing ever after the failure of one component, that system is: - โโb. Fail-operational. Fill in the blanks: Category I ILS approaches have decision height as low as feet. Category II approaches have DHs as low as feet. Category III approaches have DHs as low as feet. - โโc. 200; 100 ; 0. You come off duty at 9 am after working an overnight flight, and are scheduled to report at 9 p, to work another flight. When you arrive at your hotel, you find the room is not available until 2 pm. Will you be legal to fly as scheduled tonight? - โโb. No Symptoms of fatigue include: - โโe. All of the above. FAR 91.17 states that pilots cannot fly with a BAC of 0.04 percent or greater, or within 8 hours after consuming alcohol. As long as these requirements are met, is an airline pilot guaranteed to be safe to fly? - โโd. a and b. Which type of hypoxia could result if your aircraft depressurizes at altitude? - โโa. Hypoxic.
You are a regional airline first officer, and your captain steps out of the cockpit to use the lavatory. Do you need to put on your oxygen mask? - โโb. Yes but only at altitudes above FL250. Which of the following are consider violations of the sterile cockpit rule? - โโa. Using your laptop to check how your fantasy football team is doing while cruising at FL370. c. Announcing connecting gate information to your passengers while taxing to the gate after landing. f. Drinking coffee while waiting to intercept the glide-slope on an approach. At some airports, pilots can receive pre-departure clearance (PDC) via: - โโb. ACARS / datalink. HF radio is useful for some flight operations because it: - โโc. Can propagate over the horizon. When learning a flow, you should use the order or sequence that: - โโc. Is provided in company training materials. If interrupted while performing a checklist, which is the best course of action? - โโc. Keep the checklist in hand until the interruption ends, then restart the checklist from the beginning. Most normal checklist are: - โโb. Do-verify checklist. Operational control of a flight refers to: - โโc. Exercising authority over initiating, conducting, or terminating a flight. In schedule Part 121 operations, pre-flight planning is the responsibility of the: - โโa. PIC b. Dispatcher d. A and B In schedule Part 121 operations, the pilot in command and dispatcher certify that the appropriate planning is complete by signing the: - โโa. Dispatch release.
f. Position / navigation lights ATC didn't tell you why you are waiting on the runway. How long should you wait before reminding ATC you are still holding? - โโc. 90 seconds Which on the following is NOT a stage in a high-bypass turbofan engine? - โโc. After-burning Pilots of general aviation aircraft commonly make approaches and landings with throttle settings near idle. Why is this technique inappropriate for turbine-powered aircraft? - โโb. Turbine engines are slow to respond to changes in power setting. Including the allowance for carry-on baggage and personal items, what is the standard average passenger weight currently recommended by the FAA? Assume it is summer. - โโc. 190 pounds 195 pounds in winter A plane's LEMAC is 500 inches aft of datum and its MAC is 100 inches. You calculate that its center of gravity is located 522 inches aft of datum. What is that CG expressed in %MAC? - โโb. 22 percent. To minimize the length of runway required (or equivalently, maximize the weight at which we can take off from a given runway), we select V1 so that: - โโa. The accelerate-stop distance is equal to the accelerate-go distance. V1 cannot be: - โโa. Less that Vmcg c. Greater that Vr d. A and C When following the one-engine inoperative climb profile, what is the only configuration change allowed bellow 400 feet? - โโd. Retracting landing gear.
To maximize efficiency, a transport jet should gradually do what throughout a flight? - โโa. Climb Cyclic abrupt rudder pedal inputs can: - โโa. Cause structural damage above Va b. Cause structural damage bellow Va d. A and B Technology in modern airplanes reduces the flight crew workload. Therefore, while initiating the recovery from an airplane upset, the pilot should: - โโc. Reduce the level of automation by disengaging the autopilot and auto-throttles. Where should a pilot look to determine which automation modes are currently active? - โโb. The flight mode annunciator (FMA) What is the difference between the flight director and the autopilot? - โโa. The flight director calculates what control movements are required, and the autopilot executes them. It is impossible to stall an airplane with "hard" envelope protections. - โโb. False ATC instructs you to climb immediately at the same time as a TCAS resolution advisory says "Descend, Descend." You should: - โโb. Descend While at 15,000 feet, ATC asks you to fly at 280 knots. They then clear you to descend to 8,000 feet. You should: - โโa. Descend at 280 knots to 10,000 feet, level off and slow down to 250 knots, then continue the descent at 250 knots. The distinguishing feature of RNAV is that it: - โโc. Allows navigation along a direct route between any two points. While flying a standard RNAV (GPS) approach (special approval not required), how accurate must the navigation system be during the final approach segment? - โโc. Within 0.3 NM of the desired track, 95 percent of the time.
