ASTB E EVALUATION TEST QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔basic weight - ✔✔weight of the aircraft incuding all optional equipment (include oil)
✔✔Operating weight - ✔✔the weight of the aircraft incuding the crew, all fluids, and all
operator items (excludes usable fuel and payload)
✔✔Gross weight - ✔✔total weight of an aircraft at ANY moment durring the flight
✔✔landing gross weight - ✔✔the MAX aircraft gross weight due to design or operational
limitations
✔✔zero fuel weight - ✔✔total weight of aircraft and all contents with the exception of the
usable fuel on board
✔✔what controllers control
rolling
pitching
yawing - ✔✔rolling- ailerons- uses rudders, elevators and spoilers (x-axis)
Pitching- Elevator (y- axis)
Yawing ( rudders) (z-axis)
✔✔spoilers is used to... - ✔✔disrupt airflow over the wing and generate reduced lift
✔✔trim system/ trim tab - ✔✔small surfaces connected to the trailing edge of a large
control surface on an aircraft, used to control the trim of teh controls (ie counter act
aerody mamic forces and stabilize the aircraft)
✔✔ICE-T - ✔✔indicated Calibrated Equivalent (True airspeed relative to the
surrounding air).
,✔✔White Arc - ✔✔commonly referred to as the flap opperating range since its lower
limit represents the full flap stall speed and its upper limit provides the max flap speed
✔✔Vso - ✔✔the stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing
configuration at maximum weight
✔✔Vfe - ✔✔the MAX flap extended speed/ max airspeed at which you may extend the
flaps or fly with them extended. Flaps may not be used above this range
✔✔Vsi (Green Arc) - ✔✔normal operating airspeed range
✔✔Vno - ✔✔Normal oppering range; maximum structural cruising speed
✔✔Yellow Arc - ✔✔caution speed Range / smooth air only
✔✔Vne - ✔✔maximum speed the aircraft should ever be operated in smooth air-
velocity you NEVER EXCEED
✔✔Runway Labels - ✔✔magnetic south is labeled 18 (for 180 degrees)
labels go clockwsie and increase by 1 for every 10 degrees until North, whcih is 0
degrees then increase again to 18 (ie a runway is labeled 27 if facing 270 degrees or
West)
✔✔Nutical Miles - ✔✔Unit of distance that is apporximatly one minute of arc measured
along any medium
✔✔Mottoes:
Navy
Marine
Coast Guard
ASAF para-rescue - ✔✔Navy "Honor, courage and commitment"
Marine " Semper Fidelis" (always faithful)
CG- "Semper Paratus" (Always ready)
AF- "these things we do that others may live"
✔✔Watch times - ✔✔standard watch is 4 hours
0000-0400- Midwatch
0400-0800- morning watch
0800-1200- Forenoon Watch
1200-1600- Fist dogwatch

2000-2400- evening watch
, ✔✔WHAT DOES THIS - ✔✔
✔✔Generate lift - ✔✔wings

of the airplane)
✔✔command and control - ✔✔cockpit

motor or other machine
✔✔fuel flow indicator - ✔✔quantification of bulk fluid movement
✔✔Bravo Zulu - ✔✔Naval signal, typically covered by flaghoist or radio meaning "well
Done"
✔✔Bulkhead - ✔✔an upright wall within the hill of a ship or within the fuselage of an
aeroplane
✔✔Binnacle list - ✔✔sick list
✔✔Boot Ensign - ✔✔Most junior Ensign (has to carry a boot with him to all wardroom
social meetings)
