ATP-CTP Test Questions with Complete Solutions
Which of the following statements regarding energy is true? - ANS: Kinetic energy can be traded for
... [Show More] potential energy, and potential energy can be traded for kinetic energy.
What is the effect on total drag is airspeed slows below L/D Max? - ANS: Drag increases because of increased induced drag.
A jet pilot flying at L/D Max will obtain best - ANS: Endurance
When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag predominates? - ANS: Parasite
The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing altitude. This occurs because - ANS: The air temperature decreases
Critical Mach number can be defined as - ANS: The speed of an aircraft in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first reaches, but does not exceed Mach 1.0
Stability in the vertical axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic stability about the vertical axis on modern jet transportation is from... - ANS: an active stability augmentation/yaw damper
Swept wings cause a significant - ANS: reduction in effectiveness of flaps
To maintain altitude in a banked turn the lift produced by the airplane must be - ANS: greater than the airplane weight
Maximum altitude in the highest altitude at which an airplane can be operated. Maximum altitude for an airplane is...
a) Maximum certified altitude
b) thrust limited altitude
c) Buffet or Maneuver Limited Altitude
e) The lowest of the above listed altitudes - ANS: e) the lowest of the above listed altitudes
Exceed there critical angle of attack and the surface will stall, and lift will decrease instead of decreasing. This is true.... - ANS: Regardless of airplane speed or altitude
Which of the following statements is true? - ANS: Recovery from approach to stall warning is the same as recovery from a stall
The airplane angle of attack is the angle between the wing chord and the oncoming air or relative wind.
True or False? - ANS: True
Airplane stall speeds are published in the approved flight manual for each airplane model. These speeds are presented as a function of aircraft weight. Therefore, if a pilot maintains airspeed above the appropriate speed listed for the aircraft weight, the aircraft will not stall.
True or False? - ANS: False
The stall speed of an airplane - ANS: Is affected by weight and bank angle
Large downward aileron deflections - ANS: Could induce air separation over that portion of the wing at very high angles of attack.
Place the following steps in the correct order - ANS: DBCFAE
The predominant number of airplane upsets are caused by - ANS: Environmental factors
Most of the multiengine turbojet loss of control incidents that are caused by environmental factors are because of: - ANS: Wake Turbulence
When initiating recommended airplane upset recovery techniques, the first two techniques are: - ANS: Recognize and confirm the situation, and disengage the autopilot and auto-throttles
In a nose-high, wings-level airplane upset, after accomplishing the first two recommended techniques - ANS: Apply up to full nosedown elevator and consider trimming off some control force
During recovery from a nose low, high bank angle airplane upset - ANS: It may be necessary to unload the airplane by decreasing back pressure
When should an upset recovery be initiated? - ANS: Whenever an unintentional excessive divergence from the intended flight path and/or airspeed occurs.
During recovery from an airplane upset - ANS: Pilots must be prepared to use full control authority. [Show Less]
