CAMATA FULLY SOLVED EDITION STUDY PAPER
WITH DETAILED CORRECT ANSWERS AND
EXPERT VERIFIED CONCEPTS
◉Looking for in scene approach . Answer: Smoke, trees, MOI, traffic in
area.
◉Troposphere . Answer: - first layer
- upper layer of this zone is a constant -56.5 degrees
- water vapour reduces with ascent
- 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% trace
- 0-10,000ft
◉Stratosphere . Answer: - from 17km to 50km
- lower levels experience some weather
- contains ozone layer
- absorbs ultraviolet radiation of the sun
- temperature is constant -56
- almost no water vapour present
- about 24% of the total atmospheric molecular mass
,◉Mesophere . Answer: - from 50-80km
- temperature reaches its coldest at -90
- meteors generally burn up here
◉Thermosphere . Answer: - 85-700km
- 2000 degrees from solar radiation
◉Exosphere . Answer: - final layer
-transitions into space
◉Atmospheric Pressure . Answer: 760mmHg at a temperature of 15
degrees in dry air at sea level.
◉Greatest Density Change . Answer: Between sea level and 5000ft
above sea level.
◉Efficient Zone . Answer: - sea level to 10,000 ft
- physiological environment
- barometric pressure drops from 760mmHg to 523mmHg at 10,000ft
◉Deficient Zone . Answer: - from 10,000ft to 50,000ft
, - requires supplemental oxygen or cabin pressurized systems
- barometric pressure approx. 87mmHg
- human body cannot survive unless in pressurized environment
◉Space Equivalent Zone . Answer: - 50,000ft and continuing to outer
fringes of atmosphere
- totally hostile to human life
- requires pressurized aircraft
- boiling point of water drops to body temperature
- unsurvivable
◉Aircraft Pressurization . Answer: Engines introduce ambient air into a
compressor. The compressed air heats up and must be cooled before
being introduced into the cabin.
◉Pressurized Aircraft . Answer: - expensive to build
- longer runways required
- complex maintenance
- higher altitudes
- fly above weather
- faster speeds
- generally longer range
- less turbulence
