1. FMC computed takeoff speeds (V SPEEDS) can be used for which performance conduction?

Explanation

FMC computed takeoff speeds (V SPEEDS) can be used for balanced field length conditions. This means that the speeds calculated by the Flight Management Computer (FMC) are suitable for takeoff on a runway where the available distance for both takeoff and landing is equal. This ensures that the aircraft can safely accelerate, take off, and climb within the available runway length without any issues.

2.  flying ECON speed will results in which of the following savings?

Explanation

Flying at the ECON speed will result in minimum operating cost for the entered cost index. This means that by flying at the most economical speed, the aircraft can achieve the lowest operating cost based on the specified cost index. This is because the ECON speed is optimized to balance fuel consumption and trip time, allowing for efficient operation and cost savings.

Submit
3. Which statement about take off roll is not correct?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
4. Extended Range Operations are required any time a suitable diversion airport is further than which of the following from the route calculated at normal one engine inoperative speed?

Explanation

Operations are required any time a suitable diversion airport is further than 60 minutes from the route calculated at normal one engine inoperative speed. This means that if the aircraft encounters an engine failure, it should be able to reach a suitable diversion airport within 60 minutes of flying at reduced speed. This requirement is particularly relevant for over water operations, where the availability of diversion airports may be limited.

Submit
5. During flap retraction/extension, when should movement of the flap to the next position should be initiated?

Explanation

When initiating flap retraction/extension, the movement to the next position should be initiated when the airplane's speed is within 20 knots of the recommended speed for the desired flap position. This ensures that the aircraft is at an appropriate speed for the flap configuration, allowing for safe and efficient operation.

Submit
6. Which f the following is not a restriction to the use of Assumed Temperature Reduced Thrust?

Explanation

Assumed Temperature Reduced Thrust is a method used by pilots to reduce engine thrust during takeoff, which helps to prolong engine life and reduce maintenance costs. This method is typically used when certain conditions are met, such as a dry runway and no contamination. However, the correct answer states that the runway being reported wet is not a restriction to the use of Assumed Temperature Reduced Thrust. This means that even if the runway is wet, pilots can still use this method without any restrictions or limitations.

Submit
7. What maximum percentage of take off thrust reduction below any certified rating for operation with assumed temperature reduced thrust is allowed?

Explanation

The maximum percentage of take off thrust reduction below any certified rating for operation with assumed temperature reduced thrust that is allowed is 25%.

Submit
8. Which statement about take off is correct?

Explanation

A rolling takeoff increases the risk of foreign object damage or engine surge/stall due to a tailwind or crosswind. This statement implies that holding the brakes with thrust above idle is not a normal practice unless a static run-up is required in icing conditions.

Submit
9. When using the Assumed Temperature method of reduced thrust the takeoff speeds are determined at which temperature?

Explanation

The Assumed Temperature method of reduced thrust is used to calculate takeoff speeds. In this method, V1, VR, and V2 speeds are determined at the assumed temperature, while V1 (MCG) speed is determined at the outside air temperature. This allows for a reduced thrust setting to be used during takeoff, resulting in fuel savings and reduced engine wear. Therefore, the correct answer is "V1, VR, V2 at the assumed temperature, V1(MCG) at the outside air temperature."

Submit
10. Which of the following is the best description of the guidelind for more movement of the flap handle during flap retraction/extension?

Explanation

The best description for the guideline of more movement of the flap handle during flap retraction/extension is when within 20 knots of the maneuver speed for the next flap setting. This means that when the aircraft is within 20 knots of reaching the speed required for the next flap setting, more movement of the flap handle is necessary to retract or extend the flaps. This guideline ensures that the flaps are adjusted appropriately based on the aircraft's speed, allowing for smooth and safe operation.

Submit
11. When making adjustments totakeoff speeds for minimum control speed, which of the following is the preferred method?

Explanation

The preferred method for making adjustments to takeoff speeds for minimum control speed is to derate the takeoff thrust using TO1 or TO2. This method allows for a reduction in engine power during takeoff, which can help improve the aircraft's performance and control. Using a smaller flap setting may not have as significant of an impact on minimum control speed, and adding weight could potentially worsen the situation. The Assumed Temperature method is not mentioned as a preferred method in this context.

Submit
12. During ground taxi operations, which of the following statements is not correct?

Explanation

Air blasts at relatively low thrust can still be destructive or cause injury. Even at low thrust, the force of the air blast can dislodge loose objects or cause debris to be blown into the path of other aircraft or personnel, potentially causing damage or injury. It is important to exercise caution and follow proper procedures during ground taxi operations to minimize the risk of accidents or incidents.

Submit
13. Which of the following is not a correct flight procedure when landing distance is factor?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
14. Which of the following is an indication of an airplane in windshear?

Explanation

Uncontrolled changes exceeding 500 FPM vertical speed below 1000 feet AGL is an indication of an airplane in windshear. Windshear is a sudden and drastic change in wind direction or speed, which can cause rapid changes in altitude and airspeed. Exceeding 500 FPM vertical speed indicates a significant and uncontrolled change in the aircraft's vertical movement, which is a clear indication of encountering windshear.

Submit
15. Which statement about carbon brake wear is not correct?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Continuously light brake pressure to prevent the airplane from accelerating over a long period of time produces less wear than proper braking." This statement is not correct because continuously applying light brake pressure over a long period of time actually produces more wear than proper braking. Proper braking involves firm brake applications, which cause less wear compared to multiple light applications.

Submit
16. After touchdown, which of the statement is not correct?

Explanation

Performing the landing roll procedure when at taxi speed is not correct. The landing roll procedure should be performed after touchdown, not at taxi speed. This procedure includes actions such as deploying spoilers, applying reverse thrust, and using the brakes to slow down the aircraft. Taxi speed is the speed at which the aircraft moves on the ground after landing, typically much slower than the speed during the landing roll.

Submit
17. When recommended flap maneuvering speeds are followed, which of the following statements is correct?

Explanation

The recommended flap maneuvering speeds include a margin to the stick shaker, which is a device that warns pilots of an impending stall. In this case, the margin to the stick shaker includes an overshoot of 15 degrees beyond the normal 25 degree angle of bank. This means that the aircraft can safely operate at an angle of bank up to 40 degrees before the stick shaker is activated, providing an extra safety buffer to prevent stalls.

Submit
18. Which statement is most correct concerning landing and takeoff planning?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
19. Which of the statements about speedbrakes is correct?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
20. Which of the QRH takeoff speeds must be adjusted when the take off is made with some brake deactivation?

Explanation

When the takeoff is made with some brake deactivation, the speed that needs to be adjusted is V1. V1 is the critical engine failure speed, which is the maximum speed at which the pilot can safely abort the takeoff and bring the aircraft to a stop on the remaining runway. When brakes are deactivated, it affects the stopping capability of the aircraft, so the V1 speed needs to be adjusted accordingly to ensure a safe takeoff.

Submit
21. Which of the following about planning for braking is not correct?

Explanation

Using reverse thrust along with the autobrake system does not reduce brake cooling requirements. This means that even if the pilot is using reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft during landing, the brakes still need to be cooled down after landing. The statement implies that the use of reverse thrust does not have any impact on the cooling requirements of the brakes.

Submit
22. Which of the following is not correct concerning long range cruise maximum operating altitude?

Explanation

The correct answer is that when thrust limiting is used, a residual climb capability of 100 ft/min is available. This means that even when thrust is limited, the aircraft is still able to climb at a rate of 100 ft/min.

Submit
23. How does the FMC protect for minimum control speeds?

Explanation

The FMC protects for minimum control speeds by increasing V1, VR, and V2 as required within performance speed increase limits. This means that the FMC will automatically adjust these speeds to ensure that the aircraft maintains a safe minimum control speed during takeoff and landing. It takes into account various factors such as aircraft weight, flap settings, and runway conditions to determine the appropriate speeds. By increasing these speeds within the performance limits, the FMC helps to prevent the aircraft from stalling or losing control during critical phases of flight.

Submit
24. Which of the following statement about command speed when using autothrottle is correct?

Explanation

When using autothrottle, if the pilot plans to disengage it during approach, they should add one half of the steady state headwind and all of the gust to VREF. This means that they need to account for the effect of the wind on the aircraft's speed in order to maintain the appropriate approach speed. Adding these factors to VREF ensures that the aircraft is flying at the correct speed during the approach, taking into consideration the wind conditions.

Submit
25. Which of the following is the best definition of V1 (MCG) speed?

Explanation

The V1 speed is the speed at which the pilot must make the decision to continue the takeoff or to stop the airplane. It is associated with the maximum aerodynamic control speed on the ground, meaning that it is the speed at which the pilot has the most control over the aircraft's movements during takeoff.

Submit
26. When calculating adjustments for slush/standing water, which of the following statements does not apply?

Explanation

The statement that does not apply when calculating adjustments for slush/standing water is "Interpolation for water depths between the values shown is not allowed. Use the greater water depth." This means that when determining the adjustment for water depth, it is not permissible to estimate or interpolate the value between the given values. Instead, the greater water depth should be used.

Submit
27. Which of the normal QRH/FMC takeoff speeds may be used if stopway was used to increase the takeoff weight and the resulting V1 is less than the original VR?

Explanation

If the stopway is used to increase the takeoff weight and the resulting V1 is less than the original VR, the only normal QRH/FMC takeoff speeds that may be used are VR and V2. This is because V1 is the minimum speed at which the pilot must decide to continue or abort the takeoff, and if it is less than the original VR, it cannot be used. Therefore, only VR and V2 can be used as they are the speeds necessary for a safe takeoff.

Submit
28. Which of the following statements about flap retraction is not correct?

Explanation

The correct answer is "The engine out takeoff acceleration height is based on accelerating to the flaps up speed before retracting flaps." This statement is incorrect because the engine out takeoff acceleration height is actually based on accelerating to a specific speed before retracting the flaps, not the flaps up speed.

Submit
29. Which of the following is not a condition generally defined as an upset?

Explanation

An upset condition generally refers to an unintended and extreme deviation from normal flight parameters. Unintentionally exceeding 36 degrees nose up pitch attitude, unintentionally exceeding 10 degrees nose down pitch attitude, and having an airspeed that is inappropriate for the conditions can all be considered as upset conditions. However, unintentionally exceeding 35 degrees of bank angle is not typically defined as an upset condition. Bank angle refers to the angle at which an aircraft is tilted from its horizontal axis, and exceeding 35 degrees of bank angle is not necessarily considered an extreme or dangerous deviation from normal flight.

Submit
30. During cruise flight, which of the following statements about use of rudder trim ios nopt correct?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Set the rudder trim to center the slip/skid indicator." This statement is not correct because the rudder trim should be set to zero, not to center the slip/skid indicator. The purpose of the rudder trim is to adjust for any yawing tendencies in the aircraft, not to center the slip/skid indicator. The slip/skid indicator should be centered by coordinated use of the rudder pedals, not by adjusting the rudder trim.

Submit
31. Which of the following is the best definition of V1 speed?

Explanation

V1 speed is defined as the maximum speed at which the takeoff can be continued following recognition of an engine failure. This means that if an engine failure occurs before reaching V1 speed, the takeoff can be safely aborted. However, if the engine failure is recognized after reaching V1 speed, the takeoff must be continued and the aircraft must be able to safely climb and fly with only one engine.

Submit
32. When making an approach without using autothrottle, what is the correct command speed?

Explanation

The correct command speed when making an approach without using autothrottle is VREF + knots when the wind is reported down the runway at 25 knots with gusts to 35 knots. This means that the pilot should increase the approach speed by a certain number of knots above the reference speed (VREF) to compensate for the strong headwind and gusty conditions. This helps maintain a safe and stable approach, ensuring proper control of the aircraft during landing.

Submit
33. Windshear is encountered prior to V1, which is the most correct statement?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
34. Which of the following adjustments to the crew oxygen quantity requirement is not correct?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
35. When operating with an engine inoperative, which of the following statements is not correct?

Explanation

The statement "There are no limits to planning the use of Max Continuous thrust rating" is not correct. Planning the use of Max Continuous thrust rating is subject to certain limitations and considerations. While the Max Continuous thrust rating is primarily intended for emergency use, it may also be required for certain ATC altitude assignments. However, it is desirable to maintain thrust levels within the limits of Max Cruise thrust rating, which suggests that there are indeed limits to planning the use of Max Continuous thrust rating.

Submit
36. Which of the QRH takeoff speeds must be adjusted when the take off is made with one brake deactivated?

Explanation

When taking off with one brake deactivated, the takeoff speeds that need to be adjusted are V1 and VMBE. V1 is the decision speed, which is the speed at which the pilot must decide whether to continue the takeoff or abort. With one brake deactivated, the ability to stop the aircraft during the takeoff roll is compromised, so the decision speed needs to be adjusted accordingly. VMBE, or Minimum Brake Energy Speed, is the speed at which the aircraft can safely abort the takeoff and stop using only the remaining brakes. Since one brake is deactivated, the minimum brake energy speed also needs to be adjusted to ensure the aircraft can safely stop in an emergency.

Submit
37. Which of the following is not implied by “good” braking action?

Explanation

The statement "Airplanes should not experience braking difficulties" is not implied by "good" braking action because even with good braking action, airplanes can still experience braking difficulties due to factors such as mechanical issues, adverse weather conditions, or runway conditions that are not clean and dry. The term "good" is used to compare the braking action to that of a clean dry runway, indicating that it may not be as effective under different circumstances.

Submit
38. Which statement about automatic brakes on landing roll is correct?

Explanation

MAX AUTO braking is more than can be produced by full manual braking. This means that the automatic braking system, when set to MAX AUTO, can apply more brake force than a pilot manually applying the brakes. This can be useful in situations where maximum braking is required, such as on a short or slippery runway.

Submit
39. FMC takeoff V SPEEDS can be used for which of the following conductions?

Explanation

FMC takeoff V SPEEDS can be used for an unbalanced runway condition. This means that the aircraft's weight distribution is not evenly balanced on the runway. The FMC (Flight Management Computer) calculates the appropriate V speeds (such as V1, Vr, and V2) based on the aircraft's weight and balance to ensure a safe takeoff. In an unbalanced runway condition, the FMC will adjust the V speeds accordingly to account for the uneven weight distribution and ensure a successful takeoff.

Submit
40. When the FMC scratchpad message V SPEEDS UNAVAILABLE is displayed, which of the following options may not help the pilot correct the situation?

Explanation

Derating the takeoff thrust using the assumed temperature method may not help the pilot correct the situation when the FMC scratchpad message "V SPEEDS UNAVAILABLE" is displayed. This message indicates that the aircraft's Flight Management Computer (FMC) is unable to calculate the required speeds for takeoff. Derating the thrust using the assumed temperature method is a technique used to reduce engine power for takeoff, but it does not directly address the issue with the FMC's inability to calculate the V speeds. Therefore, this option may not be effective in correcting the situation.
