Answers Already Graded A+
Which statement regarding the traffic load and range load is correct? -
CORRECT ANSWER-the traffic load can be limited by the desired range
The restriction imposed by the low speed and/or high speed buffet is that it -
CORRECT ANSWER-limits the maneuvering load factor at high altitudes
What data does the buffet onset boundary chart provide? - CORRECT
ANSWER-The value of the mach number at with the low speed and mach buffet
occur at various masses and altitudes
The tangent from the origin of the power v TAS for a jet-engines airplane contacts
the power required curve at the speed of - CORRECT ANSWER-maximum
endurance
Which of the following factors determines the maximum flight altitude on the
buffet onset boundary graph? - CORRECT ANSWER-aerodynamics
,The maximum range speed for a jet airplane is shown on the drag v TAS curve as
the speed at - CORRECT ANSWER-the point of contact of the tangent from the
origin to the total drag curve
The optimum cruise altitude will increase - CORRECT ANSWER-if the airplane
mass decreases
The effect a tailwind has on the maximum endurance speed is - CORRECT
ANSWER-none
which of the following formula is correct to determine the specific air range? -
CORRECT ANSWER-TAS/ total fuel flow
Which of the following statements regarding the optimum cruise altitude is
correct? - CORRECT ANSWER-An airplane sometimes flies above the optimum
cruise altitude, because ATC normally does not allow it to fly continuously at the
optimum altitude.
The optimum altitude: - CORRECT ANSWER-increases as mass decreases and is
the altitude at which the specific range is obtained
, Under which conditions would it be advantageous to fly considerably lower than
the optimum altitude? - CORRECT ANSWER-If there is a considerably lesser
headwind or greater tailwind at lower altitude.
If the cost index number is increased, it will - CORRECT ANSWER-decrease the
indurance
Optimum altitude is - CORRECT ANSWER-the altitude at which an aeroplane
attains the maximum specific air range
The long-range cruising speed for a jet aeroplane is - CORRECT ANSWER-
Higher than the maximum range speed
From the buffet onset boundary chart the pilot can obtain - CORRECT
ANSWER-The values of the low-speed and high-speed stall for various altitudes
and masses
At the maximum range speed in a turbo-jet aeroplane the AoA is - CORRECT
ANSWER-less than the speed at the maximum L/D ratio
