ATP CTP Course - Final Test Questions and Answers Rated A
Which of the following statements regarding energy
is true? - ANSWER -d. Kinetic energy can be
traded for potential energy, and potential energy can
be traded for kinetic energy
The objective in maneuvering the airplane is to
manage energy so that: - ANSWER -d. All of
the above
What is the effect on total drag if airspeed slows
below L/D Max? - ANSWER -c. Drag increases
because of increased induced drag.
A jet pilot flying at L/D Max will obtain best: -
ANSWER -b. Endurance
When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate
airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag
predominates? - ANSWER -a. Parasite
While already at high speed, what happens if Mach is
allowed to increase? - ANSWER -d. All of the
above
What is the result of a shock-induced separation of
airflow occurring symmetrically near the wing root of
a swept wing aircraft? - ANSWER -c. A severe
moment of "Mach tuck"
The speed of sound generally decreases with
increasing altitude. This occurs because: -
ANSWER -a. The air temperature decreases.
Critical Mach number can be defined as: -
ANSWER -c. The speed of an aircraft in which
airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first
reaches, but doesn't 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 transports is from: -
ANSWER -c. An active stability augmentation
system / yaw damper.
Swept wings cause a significant: - ANSWER -b.
Reduction in effectiveness of flaps.
Why is convergence of Stall AOA and Mmo
hazardous? - ANSWER -d. All of the above
To maintain altitude in a banked turn, the lift
produced by the airplane must be: - ANSWER -
a. Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount
is a function of bank angle.
Excessive bank angles at high altitudes can be
hazardous because: - ANSWER -d. All of the
above
When operating at constant speed with constant
thrust setting at high altitude (typically above FL250)
in slow flight below L/D Max airspeed, any
disturbance causing a decrease in airspeed will result
in a further decrease in airspeed unless thrust in
increased. High altitude recovery from slow flight
while turning is best accomplished by: -
ANSWER -c. Increasing thrust to maximum
available thrust and reducing bank angle while
accelerating to airspeed above L/D Max speed. In a
thrust limited situation, exiting slow flight will require
an immediate descend as an aerodynamic stall is
imminent.
Maximum Altitude is the highest altitude at which an
airplane can be operated. Maximum Altitude for an
airplane is: - ANSWER -e. The lowest of the
above listed altitudes.
Exceed the critical angle of attack and the surface will
stall, and lift will decrease instead of increasing. This
is true: - ANSWER -d. Regardless of airplane
speed or attitude.
