Answers 100% Pass
As you increase in altitude, the amount of power the engine produces (normally
aspirated engines)... - ✔✔Decreases
BHP x Propeller efficiency= - ✔✔THP
THP - ✔✔the actual horsepower delivered by the engine-propeller
How does weight affect performance - ✔✔-higher liftoff speed
-longer ground roll
-slower climb
-higher stall sped
High density altitude airports - ✔✔Will have a low density (Colorado airports)
-High altitude
-High temperature
-Worse ROC

, Low density altitude airports - ✔✔Will have a high density (Grand Forks)
-Low altitude
-Low temperature
-Better ROC
Power required - ✔✔Nothing to do with engine
-Amount of power that is required to maintain unaccelerated flight
(Drag x Velocity)
Forces acting on an airplane in cruise flight - ✔✔-Temperature
-Altitude
-RPM
-Weight
Power available - ✔✔Has to do with engine
(BHP x propeller efficiency)
Maximum ROC is obtained when... - ✔✔The biggest excess power region
Vertical gust - ✔✔Changes in AOA
-Rising gust: increases AOA
