WIZZAIR ATPL | 161 QUESTIONS | WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS.
Approach categories on aircrafts are based upon? Answer - 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? Answer - <91 Max circling speed 90Kts
Aircraft Category B? Answer - 91/120 Max circling speed 120Kts
Aircraft Category C? Answer - 121/140 Max circling speed 140Kts
Aircraft Category D? Answer - 141/165 Max circling speed 165Kts
Aircraft Category E? Answer - >165
What is ETOPS? Answer - 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? Answer - Normal extended twin
operations (ETOPS) categories, vary between 60 and 180 Minutes.
The first segment on a Takeoff? Answer - 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? Answer - 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? Answer - 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? Answer - 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? Answer - 0-179 Magnetic Track, Degrees odd
numbers, 180-359 Even numbers
