COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY
GRADED A+
Viscous Hydroplaning - Answer- Requires a smooth surface, thin layer of water, low tire
speed. Anything more than gentle braking causes tires to lock.
Mach Tuck - Answer- Nose down pitching movement an aircraft experiences as it
passes its critical Mach number (MCRT)
Coffin Corner - Answer- Altitude where MCR and VS become equal.
When is ILS critical area in effect? - Answer- When instrument approaches are being
conducted and visibility is 2 miles or less and/or ceiling 800 ft or less
Runway edge lights - Answer- White, amber replaces the white on the last 2000ft or half
the runway length, whichever is less.
Max takeoff weight - Answer- CRJ700-75000lbs CRJ900- 84,5000
Exemption 3585 - Answer- Allows operation when forecasts conditional remarks are
below dispatch minimums. THe main body of the forecast must be above dispatch
minimums.
Which type of icing is most dangerous? - Answer- Clear- it often forms beyond
protected area of wing
How can you figure out VDP when not on the plate? - Answer- Last point at which a
descent from MDA to TDZ can be made at a stable 3 degree glideslope. Divide 300 to
your DH, answer is distance from threshold.
Swept wing advantages - Answer- Allows a faster airfoil speed before critical mach is
reached when compared to straight wing.
Swept wing stall characteristics - Answer- Stalls tip first due to strong spanwise flow at
high AOA. Only slightest warning at earliest stages of stall.
, What is Critical Mach? - Answer- Lowest mach number at which the airflow over some
point on the aircraft reaches speed of sound.
Why does stall speed increase with altitude? - Answer- Even though the TRUE
AIRSPEED at which the aircraft stalls will increase as altitude increases (due to
changing density), the airspeed that you read on the airspeed indicator (indicated
airspeed) will be absolutely independent of altitude. It will stay the same. As long as
nothing else changes (weight, bank angle, G-loading, etc.) altitude has no effect on
INDICATED stall speed.
Vmc decreases with altitude - Answer- As altitude increases performance on the
operative engine (normally aspirated) decreases, eventually VMC and stall speed will
converge.
What is low speed buffet? - Answer- Caused by same airflow separation as the aircraft
approaches the stall angle of attack.With stall speed increasing with altitude and sound
speed decreasing, the velocity window in which an aircraft can operate becomes
narrower and narrower.
High Speed buffet? - Answer- Caused by flow separation from the wings as occurs
behind a shockwave at high altitudes and or mach numbers.
Holding Speed limitations - Answer- Below 6000ft- 200 kias
6001-14000 235 kias
1401 and above 265 kias
V2 - Answer- Take off safety speed, minimum speed needed to be maintained up to
acceleration altitude in the event of an engine failure after V1
What converts AC to DC - Answer- Rectifier
RVR - Answer- Only reported at airports that have RVR sensing equipment, when the
visibility is 1sm or less, when RVR for an instrument runway is 6000ft or less
You get to the DA and see approach lights, what can you do? - Answer- Descend to
100ft above the TDZE. If it uses ALSF-1 or ALSF-2 system you may use that as runway
environment and continue descent to landing if the red terminating bars are also visible.
When can you descend below DH - Answer- 1. You are in continuous position to land
using normal descent rate.
2. You have the required flight visibility
3. You have the runway environment in sight
What is MSA - Answer- Minimum sector altitude is the lowest altitude which may be
used to provide a min clearance of 1000ft above all objects in a 25 NM radius
