Basic Flight Engineer Part2 (correct answers)
Friction correct answers Effectivieness of nose wheel steering during takeoff or landing.
Friction is overcome by thrust.
Aerodynamic Drag and Lift correct answers Is the resistance created by a moving airfoil.
Moving airfoil develops lift. Increase lift causes decrease rolling friction
Thrust correct answers Forward velocity of an aircraft
Flaps and Slats correct answers Allows aircraft to takeoff and land at low speeds
Higher Temperatures (Factors) correct answers Decrease air density, reduce thrust,
require higher airspeeds, longer takeoff/landing distances
Pressure Altitude(PA) correct answers Primary function of pressure altitude and
ambient temperature is to define the density altitude and it's effect on takeoff
performance
Head Wind correct answers Shortens takeoff or landing distance.
Tailwind correct answers Lengthen the takeoff and landing distance
Wind Percentages correct answers 50% head wind. 150% tailwind. Computing ground
run, max braking, tire limit speeds apply 100% of tail OR head winds
During Gusty Conditions? correct answers Increase the
rotation,takeoff,approach,threshold, and touchdown speeds by the full gust increment
not to exceed 10 knots.
Effects of Crosswinds correct answers Largest effect during takeoff and landing
Moving aircraft towards side of runway
Nose steering to control aircraft when below speed for rudder/ailerons
Runway Condition Reading(RCR) correct answers Indicates the coefficient of friction
between the aircraft tires and the surface of the runway
Runway Surface Condition (RSC) correct answers The average depth and type of
runway surface covering to the nearest one-tenth inch.
Hydroplaning correct answers The result of a marked loss of coefficient of friction
between the tires an the runway surface
Slope correct answers Is a percent of gradient to one-tenth of one percent. It is
measured between two ends or points of a runway.
, Maximum Effort correct answers Used when nothing else will save life, property, or
mission objective
Takeoff Rated Thrust(TRT) correct answers Produces close to the maximum thrust of
which engine is capable. Expressed in Engine Pressure Ratio(EPR) or fan speed(N1).
Comprise thrust for engine life.
Reduced Power Takeoff correct answers Saves wear and tear on engines and reduces
airframe stress.
Performance Factors correct answers Reference numbers used in performance charts
to replace altitude and temperature grids
Thrust Factor correct answers Combines the EPR or N1, which vary with temperature at
a given altitude, with the actual altitude to produce a statement of thrust.
Air performance Number(APN) correct answers Uses EPR or N1, temperature and
pressure altitiude to arrive at a reference number similar to a Thrust factor
Takeoff Factor(TOF) correct answers Adds the effective density altitude on the air frame
to the thrust of the engines
Ground Performance Number(GPN) correct answers A reference number that
incorporates the effect of density altitude on an air frame
Climb-Out Factor correct answers Combines the thrust developed by the engines with
the aircraft gross weight to arrive at a reference number which expresses the aircraft
weight to power ratio.
Climb Speed correct answers The airspeed used during climb
Climb Gradient correct answers The height an aircraft will climb in a given horizontal
distance
Ground Minimum Control Speed (Vmcg) correct answers The minimum speed required
for directional control with an outboard engine inop and remaining engines at takeoff
thrust
Air Minimum Control Speed (Vmca) correct answers Speed at which an aircraft can
experience an outboard engine failure and still maintain directional control using full
rudder deflection and not more than 5 degrees of bank with remaining engines at
takeoff or go around thrust
Critical Field Length (CFL) correct answers Minimum length or distance required to
accelerate on all engines to critical engine failure speed,experience an engine failure at
Vcef, and either continue the takeoff or abort the takeoff within computed distance
