Atlas Air Study Guide Exam Questions &
Answers (Grade A+)
V1 -
correct answer ✅means the maximum speed in the takeoff at
which the pilot must take the first action (e.g., apply brakes, reduce
thrust, deploy speed brakes) to stop the airplane within the
accelerate-stop distance. V1 also means the minimum speed in the
takeoff, following a failure of the critical engine at VEF, at which the
pilot can continue the takeoff and achieve the required height
above the takeoff surface within the takeoff distance
Selecting a suitable V1 for a given set of conditions is a matter of
comparing ASDR (Accelerate Stop Distance Required) with TODR
(Takeoff Distance Required). The point where ASDR and TODR
intersect is known as the BFL (Balanced Field Length)
Vr -
correct answer ✅means rotation speed
V2 -
correct answer ✅means takeoff safety speed
VMCG -
correct answer ✅the minimum speed on the ground, that
directional control can be maintained, using only aerodynamic

controls, with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine
airplanes) and takeoff power applied in the other engine(s). VMCG
must be less than V1 (this assures that the aircraft is controllable on
the ground in the event of an engine failure at V1 and up to Vr)
VMCA -
correct answer ✅the minimum speed, in the air, that directional
control can be maintained with one engine inoperative (critical
engine on two engine airplanes), operating engines(s) at Takeoff
Power and a maximum of 5o of bank toward the good engine(s)
Icing conditions -
correct answer ✅icing conditions exists in-flight at a TAT of 10oC or
below, and visible moisture in any form is encountered (such as
clouds, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals), except when the SAT is -
40oC or below
Wet runway -
correct answer ✅a runway is considered to be wet when there is
sufficient moisture on the runway surface to cause it to appear
reflective but without significant areas of standing water. (OM
