Aircraft Dispatcher Final Exam Graded A+
5 Effects of icing - ANSWER-reduce lift & Thrust, Increase. Drag, increase stall speed,
&increase weight
A PIC must carry the load manifest, the dispatch release, and the flight plan to their
destination T/F? - ANSWER-True
Absolute Altitude - ANSWER-height above the surface (AGL)
Accelerate-go distance - ANSWER-The distance required to accelerate to V1 with all
engines at takeoff power, experience an engine failure at V1, and continue the takeoff
on the remaining engine(s). The runway required includes the distance required to climb
to 35 feet by which time V2 speed must be attained.
Accelerate-Stop Distance - ANSWER-The distance required to accelerate to V1 with all
engines at takeoff power, experience an engine failure at V1, and abort the takeoff and
bring the airplane to a stop using braking action only (use of thrust reversing is not
considered).
Air mass - ANSWER-A huge body of air that has similar temperature & moisture
airmass thunderstorms - ANSWER-Short-lived thunderstorm that forms far from frontal
boundaries and typically does not contain severe weather.
AIRMET Tango - ANSWER-Describes moderate turbulence, sustained surface winds of
30 knots or greater, and/or non-convective low-level wind shear.
AIRMET Zulu - ANSWER-Moderate Icing and provides freezing level heights
ALSF - ANSWER-Approach lighting system w/sequence flashing lights
ARP - ANSWER-Airport Reference Point
Balanced Field Length - ANSWER-The Balanced Field Length is the all engine's
acceleration distance to engine failure speed, continuing the takeoff with one engine,
and achieving a height of 35 feet by the end of the runway or stopway..
Can a flight continue in an unsafe condition? - ANSWER-Only when in the opinion of
the PIC and Dispatcher there is no safer procedure
Can an aircraft dispatcher dispatch a flight into Known icing conditions? - ANSWER-No
Can military airports be used in emergency? - ANSWER-Yes
Can the dispatcher declare an emergency? - ANSWER-Yes
, CDL - ANSWER-Configuration Deviation List, which items and quantity thereof may be
MISSING during operations
Ceiling - ANSWER-the height above the earth's surface of the lowest layer of clouds or
obscuring phenomena that is reported as "broken", "overcast", or "Vertical Visibility "
into a surface based total obscuration
Common Carriage - ANSWER-common carriage refers to the carriage of passengers or
cargo as a result of advertising the availability of carriage to the public
Convective SIGMET - ANSWER-Weather advisory concerning convective weather
significant to the safety of all aircraft, including thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes.
Coriolis Force (CF) - ANSWER--apparent force that results from a moving frame of
reference (rotating earth)
-turns moving object to the right in the northern hemisphere
Cumiliform clouds - ANSWER-Good visibility, showery precipitation, turbulence
thunderstorms & Unstable Air
Density Altitude - ANSWER-The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard
temperature.
Describe an isobar - ANSWER-A line of equal pressure
Describe class A airspace? - ANSWER-FL 180 - FL 600
Does an airplane with less than 19 seats require a PA system? - ANSWER-No, more
than would though
Elements needed to form a Thunderstorm - ANSWER-Moisture, Unstable Air, & Lifting
Actions
EMASS - ANSWER-engineered materials arrestor System
eMASS - ANSWER-engineered materials Arrestor system- does not damage aircraft,
like a sinking mud material
Explain High Minimum Captain - ANSWER-A PIC with less than 100 hours in an aircraft
type.
FDC NOTAM - ANSWER-issued by Flight Data Center, contain regulatory information
such as-
1. TFR
