What is the definition of aircraft performance?

• The maximum speed an aircraft can achieve.

• How well an aircraft meets the requirements of its intended missions.

• The fuel efficiency of the aircraft during cruise only.

• The pilot's ability to handle the aircraft in emergencies.

Which of the following is an international or national aviation authority that enforces standards for aircraft performance?

• National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)

• International Air Transport Association (IATA)

• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

• Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA)

How does a headwind affect takeoff performance?

• It makes takeoff harder.

• It has no effect on takeoff.

• It helps make takeoff easier.

• It requires a longer runway.

In the context of takeoff speeds, what does V1 represent?

• Rotation Speed

• Takeoff Safety Speed

• Decision Speed

• Velocity of liftoff

What is the term for an intentional power reduction used for engine longevity or noise abatement?

• Thrust lapse

• Power-back

• Derate

• Throttle-cut

How does high temperature negatively impact climb performance?

• It increases air density, making it harder to climb.

• It reduces air density, decreasing engine performance and lift.

• It improves engine efficiency but reduces lift.

• It has no impact on climb performance.

What is the primary goal when optimizing for aircraft 'Range'?

• To maximize the time spent in the air.

• To fly the maximum possible distance on the available fuel.

• To achieve the best distance per unit of fuel.

• To fly at the lowest possible power setting.

The maximum time an aircraft can stay in the air with its available fuel is known as:

• Range

• Fuel Efficiency

• Loiter

• Endurance

According to the document, which of the following improves fuel efficiency?

• Flying at the lowest possible altitude.

• Increasing drag and weight.

• Flying at optimal altitude and speed.

• Using older, more powerful engines.

Which type of descent is described as fuel-efficient and involves the plane descending continuously without leveling off?

• Step-down Descent

• Partial Power Descent

• Continuous Descent Approach (CDA)

• Gliding Descent
