Question 3 of 51
3. Question
Category: Flight Planning and PerformanceAn aircraft is required to descend from 7500 ft to be at 1000 ft 6 nms from a VOR. The ROD is 800 ft/min and the mean TAS is 160 kts. At what range from the beacon should descent be commenced in still air?
Correct
27.7 nms
Descent from 7500 1000 ft= 6500 ft
Time in descent = 6500/800 = 8.125 min
Distance in descent = 8.125 x (160/60) = 21.7 NM
Descent from beacon = 21.7 + 6 + 27.7 NMIncorrect

Question 42 of 51
42. Question
Category: Principles of FlightAn aircraft is in straight and level flight at a CL of 0.35; a 10 increase in angle of attack would
increase the CL by 0.079. Following a vertical gust, which gave a 20 increase in angle of
attack, what increase in load factor would result?Correct
To find increase in Load Factor, multiply increase in CL by increase in angle of attack, then express result as percentage of CL for level flight.
2 x 0.079 = 0.158, which is 45% of 0.35Therefore LF increase = 0.45

Question 44 of 51
44. Question
Category: Principles of FlightAt a true airspeed of 300 kts, what turn radius would be achieved in a 45 degree bank turn (g —
10m/s2)?Correct
Remember that for a given angle of bank (θ), the radius of turn is determined solely by airspeed, thus tan θ = V 2
Therefore radius = V2/(g x radius)
V2/(g tan θ)
Convert airspeed to m/sec to determine radius in metres.Incorrect

Category: Principles of FlightTwo aircraft are flying at the same speed and the same angle of bank; one aircraft is heavier
than the other. Which of the following statements is correct?Correct
Radius of turn is proportional to V2 and inversely proportional to g and tan angle of bank. Thus at a constant angle of bank, weight will not affect the radius of turn.
Incorrect
Radius of turn is proportional to V2 and inversely proportional to g and tan angle of bank. Thus at a constant angle of bank, weight will not affect the radius of turn.
