An aircraft which experiences a headwind of 40 kt while making its way towards the centre of a microburst may expect, when crossing the microburst, to face a windshear of:
-
20 kt.
-
60 kt.
-
40 kt.
-
80 kt.
Correct Answer
A. 80 kt.Explanation
When an aircraft is flying towards the center of a microburst, it will experience a sudden change in wind direction and speed. In this case, the aircraft is facing a headwind of 40 kt before entering the microburst. Since a microburst is a strong downdraft, the wind speed will increase significantly as the aircraft crosses it. Therefore, the aircraft can expect to face a windshear of 80 kt, which is the sum of the original headwind (40 kt) and the additional increase in wind speed caused by the microburst.Rate this question:

What are final fuel reserves required for a piston aircraft:
-
30 minutes
-
45 minutes
-
60 minutes
-
20 minutes
Correct Answer
A. 45 minutesExplanation
The final fuel reserves required for a piston aircraft are typically 45 minutes. This means that the aircraft must have enough fuel to fly for an additional 45 minutes after reaching its intended destination. This reserve is necessary to account for any unexpected delays or diversions that may occur during the flight. Having this extra fuel ensures that the aircraft can safely reach an alternate airport or continue flying until a suitable landing site is available.Rate this question:

The wake turbulence:
-
Starts when pulling out the drag devices and stops when retracting the drag devices.
-
Starts when the aeroplane reaches a height of 35 ft above the ground and stops when it crosses this height before landing.
-
Starts as soon as the aeroplane commences rolling and stops as soon as it has come to a stop at landing.
-
Starts at rotation and stops as soon as the aeroplane's wheels touch the ground.
Correct Answer
A. Starts at rotation and stops as soon as the aeroplane's wheels touch the ground.Explanation
The correct answer is that wake turbulence starts at rotation and stops as soon as the aeroplane's wheels touch the ground. This is because wake turbulence is caused by the vortices created by the wings of an aircraft as it generates lift. These vortices are strongest during takeoff and landing when the aircraft is at a high angle of attack and producing the most lift. Once the aircraft's wheels touch the ground, the lift decreases and the vortices dissipate, thus ending the wake turbulence.Rate this question:
