Republic Airways Initial Training Final Exam Review
2026/2027 LATEST 2026 UPDATE 100+ QUESTIONS
AND DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS FROM ACTUAL
EXAMS TEST GRADE A+
1. What is the maximum operating altitude for the Embraer 175, as per Republic
Airways limitations?
A) FL350
B) FL370
C) FL410
D) FL450
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The Embraer 175 has a certified maximum operating altitude of
FL410. Operating above this altitude is prohibited due to pressurization and
performance limits.
2. What is the maximum dispatch wind component for a dry runway on the
E175?
A) 15 knots
B) 25 knots
C) 35 knots
D) 45 knots
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Republic Airways limits crosswind component for takeoff and landing
on a dry runway to 35 knots. Higher components require special approval.
3. The E175’s maximum ramp weight is:
A) 89,000 lbs
,B) 90,000 lbs
C) 89,500 lbs
D) 91,500 lbs
Correct Answer: A
*Explanation: Maximum ramp weight for the E175 is 89,000 lbs, which includes
fuel for taxi and start-up.*
4. Minimum fuel for VFR day operation (no alternate required) is:
A) 30 minutes at normal cruise
B) 45 minutes at normal cruise
C) 60 minutes at holding speed
D) 90 minutes at holding speed
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Under FAR 91.151, VFR day minimum fuel is 45 minutes at normal
cruising speed, unless Republic’s manual specifies otherwise.
5. What is the takeoff runway slope limitation for the E175?
A) ±1%
B) ±2%
C) ±1.5%
D) ±2.5%
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The E175 AFM limits runway slope to ±2% for takeoff calculations;
beyond this requires performance analysis.
6. Maximum tailwind component for takeoff (dry runway) is:
A) 5 knots
B) 10 knots
C) 15 knots
D) 20 knots
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Republic limits tailwind for takeoff to 10 knots due to reduced climb
performance and longer ground roll.
,7. What is the maximum number of passenger seats on Republic Airways’ E175?
A) 76
B) 78
C) 70
D) 88
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Under scope clause agreements, Republic operates E175s with a
maximum of 76 passenger seats.
8. Maximum operating Mach number (MMO) for the E175 is:
A) Mach 0.78
B) Mach 0.80
C) Mach 0.82
D) Mach 0.84
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: MMO for the E175 is Mach 0.82. Exceeding this may cause control
flutter or Mach tuck.
9. What is the maximum allowable fuel imbalance between main tanks?
A) 300 lbs
B) 500 lbs
C) 800 lbs
D) 1,200 lbs
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Maximum fuel imbalance for E175 is 500 lbs. Beyond this, trim and
handling may be compromised.
10. Minimum runway length for takeoff at max takeoff weight (sea level, ISA) is
approximately:
A) 4,500 ft
B) 5,200 ft
C) 6,100 ft
D) 7,000 ft
, Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Performance charts show approx 5,200 ft required; actual varies with
temp, slope, and wind.
11. Maximum flap extension altitude is:
A) 10,000 ft
B) 15,000 ft
C) 20,000 ft
D) 25,000 ft
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Flap extension is limited to 20,000 ft to prevent structural overstress.
12. What is the minimum flight crew per FAR 117 (Republic implementation)?
A) 1 pilot + autopilot
B) 2 pilots
C) 2 pilots + relief for flights >8 hours
D) 1 pilot for ferry flights
Correct Answer: B
*Explanation: FAR 121 requires 2 pilots for all scheduled operations; Republic does
not use single-pilot authorizations.*
13. Maximum brake energy speed for rejected takeoff (RTO) is:
A) V1 only
B) V1 + 5 knots
C) Up to V2
D) No limit
Correct Answer: A
*Explanation: RTO must be initiated at or below V1; above V1 takeoff must
continue to avoid brake overheat/fire.*
14. What is the maximum altitude for landing gear extension?
A) 10,000 ft
B) 15,000 ft
