hint: your ___ on the test effects your grade
Performance
What is the recommended climb procedure when a non radar departure control instructs a pilot to climb to the assigned altitude?
a. Maintain an optimum climb on the centerline of the airway without intermediate level-offs until 1,000 feet below assigned altitude, then 500 to 1500 feet per minute.
b. Maintain a continuous optimum climb until reaching assigned altitude and report passing each 1,000 foot level.
c. Climb at a maximum angle of climb to within 1,000 feet of the assigned altitude, then 500 feet per minute the last 1,000 feet.
a. Maintain an optimum climb on the centerline of the airway without intermediate level-offs until 1,000 feet below assigned altitude, then 500 to 1500 feet per minute.
According to the instrument Procedures Handbook, “When ATC has not used the term nor imposed any climb restrictions, pilots should climb promptly on acknowledgment of the clearance. Climb at an optimum rate consistent with the operating characteristics of the aircraft to 1,000 feet below the assigned altitude, and then attempt to climb at a rate of between 500 and 1,500 fpm until the assigned altitude is reached. If at any time the pilot is unable to climb at a rate of at least 500 fpm, advise ATC. If it is necessary to level off at an intermediate altitude during climb, advise ATC.”
Leading edge flaps reduce ____ speed.
Leading edge flaps reduce stall speed, which is the speed that the aircraft falls out of the sky "literally"
What type of engine has a combustion chamber?
Jet engines
What's the difference between aviation and aerospace?
In the event of an electrical failure when flying an aircraft using an Electronic Flight Display, the primary pitch instrument is the:
a. standby altimeter
b. Standby airspeed indicator
c. standby attitude indicator
a. Standby altimeter
The altimeter would be the primary pitch instrument. The altimeter gives the most precise reading as to what the pitch is. If the altimeter is showing a rapid climb, the aircraft is in a very high nose up attitude. If the altimeter is showing a very slow rate of descent, the aircraft is slightly nose low. The attitude indicator shows what attitude the aircraft is in, but is imprecise on the amount of pitch. The airspeed indicator will change with pitch, such as showing an increase when nose down or decreasing when nose up, however it can be affected by other actions such as increasing or decreasing the throttle.
Make the pilot not have to make constant corrections
the fan blades in the front of a engine do what?
They push air into the engine
When there is a temperature inversion, you would expect to experience
A. clouds with extensive vertical development above an inversion aloft.
B. good visibility in the lower levels of the atmosphere and poor visibility above an inversion aloft.
C. an increase in temperature as altitude increases.
b.
