Flight Performance & Planning – Self-Assessment Exercise

If air density is reduced, full throttle take-off distance will be:

The total weight of an aeroplane together with its total contents at any particular time is referred to

If an aeroplane at Maximum Take-off Weight (MTOW) is loaded in a manner that positions its C of G at or beyond its aft limit; it will:

During straight and level cruise, any imbalance created by increased lift causing disruption of equilibrium is compensated for by:

MTOW refers to Maximum Take-Off Weight. An aircraft flying at MTOW has:

In which of the following instances will structural damage be likely to occur?:

Balance refers to:

Wind shear is a change in:

Wind shear can occur at:

On occasions when the ambient air density is low, the resulting reduction in:

When climbing with a constant power setting and maintaining a constant airspeed, the lift generated by the wing of an aeroplane that opposes weight will be:

Humidity causes:

What two items of safety equipment need to be on site during flight operations?

Higher levels of humidity in an area of operation will cause:

Lift direction for an aircraft:

If air density is increased above International Standard Atmospheric conditions, the take-off distance required at full throttle compared with that for standard conditions will be:

Increasing an aeroplane’s gross weight will —-(i)—- the speed at which the aeroplane rotates and —-(ii)—the V2 speed.
Select the combination which correctly completes the above sentence.

A wing evenly contaminated with only a small amount of ice will result in:

Having inadvertently flown into the vicinity of cloud which has extensive vertical and horizontal development, accretion of wing ice is observed. Your immediate action should be.

Published take-off performance data is complied from aircraft operating on:

If the barometric pressure falls after the altimeter sub-scale of an aircraft on the ground has been set, the altimeter will indicate:

Pressure altitude is employed as the datum for measuring aircraft performance. Given an aerodrome elevation as 930ft amsl and a QFE of 994hPa, what is the aerodrome pressure altitude?
Take 1 hPa or 1 mb = 30ft (actually 27ft)

The lift produced by the wing of an aeroplane maintaining a constant true airspeed will:

What is the minimum amount of time before take-off an RPAS Pilot must file a local flight plan by?

The document a pilot signs to accept an aircraft into service is called:

What two items of safety equipment need to be on site during flight operations?

When is a pilot required to file a flight plan for an RPAS operation?

What must an RPAS have equipped on it in order to fly in controlled airspace?

What is the maximum amount of time before take-off an RPAS Pilot can file a flight plan?

Compared to operating from a runway at sea level, an aeroplane operating from a runway at a high pressure altitude in the same wind conditions will require:
