Max allowable runway slope?
- A.
-2% to +2%
- B.
-2.1% to +2%
- C.
-2.1% to -2.1%
- D.
2% to -2.1%
Correct Answer
A. -2% to +2%Explanation
The correct answer is -2% to +2%. This range represents the maximum allowable slope for a runway. A slope of -2% means that the runway is sloping downwards at a rate of 2 units for every 100 units of horizontal distance, while a slope of +2% means that the runway is sloping upwards at the same rate. This range ensures that the runway is not too steep, which could pose a safety risk for aircraft during takeoff and landing.Rate this question:

What is the max contaminant depthnfor take off operations?
- A.
25.4mm
- B.
19.0mm
- C.
24.5mm
- D.
10.9mm
Correct Answer
A. 25.4mmExplanation
The maximum contaminant depth for takeoff operations is 25.4mm. This means that any contaminants on the runway surface, such as water, snow, or ice, should not exceed this depth in order for safe takeoff operations to be conducted. Contaminants beyond this depth could affect the aircraft's performance, specifically its ability to generate lift and maintain control during takeoff. Therefore, it is crucial for pilots and ground crews to ensure that the runway is clear and free from excessive contaminants before initiating takeoff.Rate this question:

As far as TCAS is concerned deviation from ATC assigned altitude authorised
- A.
To change altitude in controlled airspace
- B.
Only to extent neccesary to comply with TCAS RA
- C.
To climb or descend due turbulence
- D.
Manourvres must not be based solely on information displyed on traffic displa
Correct Answer
B. Only to extent neccesary to comply with TCAS RAExplanation
The correct answer is that the deviation from the ATC assigned altitude is authorized only to the extent necessary to comply with TCAS RA (Traffic Collision Avoidance System Resolution Advisory). This means that pilots should only change their altitude in controlled airspace if the TCAS system advises them to do so in order to avoid potential collisions with other aircraft. Deviating from the assigned altitude for any other reason, such as turbulence or based solely on information displayed on the traffic display, is not authorized.Rate this question:
