ATP Oral QuestionsV1 speed - correct answers Takeoff Decision Speed; max speed at which pilot can stop aircraft within accelerate-stop distance. Also, the MIN speed in takeoff following an engine failure at which point the pilot can continue takeoff and achieve the required height above takeoff surface within the takeoff distance Vr - correct answers Rotation speed, determined so that V2 speed is reached before the aircraft reaches 35 feet above the runway surface Vlof - correct answers the speed at which the aircraft becomes airborne V2 - correct answers "takeoff safety speed"; a referenced airspeed obtained after liftoff at which the required one-engine inoperative climb performance can be achieved. (Vyse = 100 KIAS, Vxse = 91 KIAS) What is the most effective means of ensuring that adequate engine-out climb performance is achieved? - correct answers By limiting the takeoff gross weight so that, considering fuel burn, the aircraft will be light enough to ensure the necessary performance. Usually done by restricting amount of fuel and/or passengers or cargo that can be carried. Define "specific range" - correct answers refers to the number of nautical air miles of flying distance per pound of fuel burned. Knots / PPH = specific range How would a maximum range condition be achieved? - correct answers Obtained at the maximum lift/drag ratio (L/Dmax) Vref - correct answers Reference landing speed = 1.3 x stall speed (Vs0) What is the recommended terminology for describing braking action? - correct answers Good, fair, poor, nil
