ATP CTP Course - Final Test 85 Questions with 100% Correct Answers Updated & Verified Which of the following statements regarding energy is true? - ✔✔d. Kinetic energy can be traded for potential energy, and potential energy can be traded for kinetic energy The objective in maneuvering the airplane is to manage energy so that: - ✔✔d. All of the above What is the effect on total drag if airspeed slows below L/D Max? - ✔✔c. Drag increases because of increased induced drag. A jet pilot flying at L/D Max will obtain best: - ✔✔b. Endurance When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag predominates? - ✔✔a. Parasite While already at high speed, what happens if Mach is allowed to increase? - ✔✔d. All of the above What is the result of a shock -induced separation of airflow occurring symmetrically near the wing root of a swept wing aircraft? - ✔✔c. A severe mo ment of "Mach tuck" The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing altitude. This occurs because: - ✔✔a. The air temperature decreases. Critical Mach number can be defined as: - ✔✔c. The speed of an aircraft in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first reaches, but doesn't exceed Mach 1.0. Stability in the vertical axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic stability about the vertical axis on modern jet transports is from: - ✔✔c. An active stability augmentation system / yaw damper. Swept wings cause a significant: - ✔✔b. Reduction in effectiveness of flaps. Why is convergence of Stall AOA and Mmo hazardous? - ✔✔d. All of the above To maintain altitude in a banked turn, the lift produced by the airplane must be: - ✔✔a. Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount is a function of bank angle. Excessive bank angles at high altitudes can be hazardous because: - ✔✔d. All of the above When operating at constant speed with constant thrust setting at high altitude (typi cally above FL250) in slow flight below L/D Max airspeed, any disturbance causing a decrease in airspeed will result in a further decrease in airspeed unless thrust in increased. High altitude recovery from slow flight while turning is best accomplished by : - ✔✔c. Increasing thrust to maximum available thrust and reducing bank angle while accelerating to airspeed above L/D Max speed. In a thrust limited situation, exiting slow flight will require an immediate descend as an aerodynamic stall is imminent. Maximum Altitude is the highest altitude at which an airplane can be operated. Maximum Altitude for an airplane is: - ✔✔e. The lowest of the above listed altitudes. Exceed the critical angle of attack and the surface will stall, and lift will decrease inste ad of increasing. This is true: - ✔✔d. Regardless of airplane speed or attitude. Which of the following statements is true? - ✔✔d. Recovery from approach to stall warning is the same as recovery from a stall. The airplane angle of attack is the angle bet ween the wing chord and the oncoming air or relative wind. - ✔✔True Airplane stall speeds are published in the Approved Flight Manual for each airplane model. These speeds are presented as a function of aircraft weight. Therefor if the pilot maintains air speed above the appropriate speed listed for the aircraft weight, the aircraft will not stall. - ✔✔False
