WIZZAIR ATPL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Approach categories on aircrafts are based upon? - Correct Answers -A grouping of
aircraft based on a speed of 1.3 times the stall speed in the landing configuration at
maximum gross landing weight. An aircraft must fit in only one category. If it is
necessary to maneuver at speeds in excess of the upper limit of a speed range for a
category, the minimums for the category for that speed must be used. For example, an
aircraft which falls in Category A, but is circling to land at a speed in excess of 91 knots,
must use the approach Category B minimums when circling to land.
Aircraft Aaproach Category A? - Correct Answers -<91 Max circling speed 90Kts
Aircraft Category B? - Correct Answers -91/120 Max circling speed 120Kts
Aircraft Category C? - Correct Answers -121/140 Max circling speed 140Kts
Aircraft Category D? - Correct Answers -141/165 Max circling speed 165Kts
Aircraft Category E? - Correct Answers ->165
What is ETOPS? - Correct Answers -Extended twin operations. An operator is granted
permission to operate a twin engined aircraft type on flight in which the aircraft is more
than 60 minutes away from a suitable alternative aerodrome in the event that the aircraft
suffers an engine failure en route.
Wha are the various ETOPS categories? - Correct Answers -Normal extended twin
operations (ETOPS) categories, vary between 60 and 180 Minutes.
The first segment on a Takeoff? - Correct Answers -First Segment: The Climb from 35
feet point until the landing gears are fully retracted. Conditions in this segment are:
- landing gear extended
- flaps in T/O position
- Speed = V2
- Climb gradient for 2 engine A/C = Positive
- Climb gradient for 4 engine A/C = 0.5%
- Takeoff power
The second segment on a Takeoff? - Correct Answers -Second Segment: Climb from
gear retraction point until a height of 400 feet is reached. conditions in this segment are:
- gears retracted
, - flaps in T/O position
- speed = V2
- Climb gradient 2 engine a/c 2.4%, and 4 engine a/c 3.0%
- takeoff power
The third segment on a Takeoff? - Correct Answers -Third Segment: Its the horizontal
distance covered after the second segment until the flap retraction speed is reached, to
raise the flaps plus the distance required to accelerate the aircraft to the flaps up climb
speed. It consists of two parts:
First part of 3rd segment: Distance covered before flap retraction, accelerating to flap
retraction speed. The conditions are:
- gears retracted
- flaps in t/o position
- speed increasing from v2 to flap retraction speed
- Climb gradient 2 engine a/c 1.2%, 4 engine a/c 1.7%
- takeoff power
Second part of 3rd segment: Distance covered after flap retraction, accelerating to final
t/o climb speed. the conditions are:
- gears retracted
- flaps retracted
- speed, accelerating from flaps retraction to final t/o climb speed
- Climb gradient 2 engine a/c 1.2%, 4 engine a/c 1.7%
- maximum continuous power
The fourth segment on a Takeoff? - Correct Answers -Fourth Segment: the Climb from
400 feet till 1500 feet is reached, after the end of third segment operating with max
continuous power. The conditions are:
- gears retracted
- flaps retracted
- speed = final t/o climb speed
- max continous power
- Climb gradient 2 engine a/c 1.2%, 4 engine a/c 1.7%
IFR and RVSM Flight levels? - Correct Answers -0-179 Magnetic Track, Degrees odd
numbers, 180-359 Even numbers
Vertical Separation is only 1000 ft up to FL290 and 2000 ft above FL290 in non-RVSM
airspace and only 1000 ft in RVSM airspace i all levels.
Why are Flight Level intervals increased to 2000 ft in non RVSM airspace? - Correct
Answers -Because of altimeter errors (lower air density). Reduced vertical RVSM to
1000ft separation above FL290 is granted to aircraft with advanced and more accurate
altimeters, usually crowded routes (Trans Atlantic Routes).
What are the lights on a taxiway? - Correct Answers -Blue edge and green center.
