M5 - 1B

What is the primary focus of the field of aircraft performance?

• The manufacturing process of an aircraft.

• The study of how far, fast, and high an aircraft can fly under specific conditions.

• The history of aviation and flight principles.

• The communication systems used by pilots.

Which of the following is NOT listed as a phase of flight associated with aircraft performance?

• Taxiing

• Takeoff

• Cruise

• Landing

How does a headwind affect takeoff performance?

• It increases the required ground roll.

• It has no effect on takeoff.

• It improves performance by increasing lift and reducing the required ground roll.

• It makes takeoff more dangerous and is always avoided.

According to the presentation, high density altitude results in:

• Thicker air, which improves engine performance.

• Thinner air, which decreases engine performance and lift.

• No change in aircraft performance.

• Better fuel efficiency.

What is the definition of 'Rate of Climb'?

• The steepness of the climb.

• The total distance traveled during a climb.

• How fast the aircraft gains height, measured in feet per minute.

• The time it takes to reach cruising altitude.

The 'ferry range' of an aircraft refers to:

• The distance it can travel with a full load of passengers and cargo.

• The maximum distance it can fly on a one-way trip with maximum fuel and minimal or no payload.

• The typical distance flown on commercial routes.

• The range achievable in emergency situations.

Which of the following is a key factor influencing an aircraft's endurance?

• The color of the aircraft.

• The number of windows on the aircraft.

• Fuel capacity and power settings.

• The in-flight entertainment system.

What does the metric 'kilograms per Revenue Passenger Kilometer (kg/RPK)' measure?

• The total weight of the aircraft per kilometer.

• The fuel needed to carry one tonne of payload one kilometer.

• The fuel efficiency related to individual passengers.

• The total number of passengers an aircraft can carry.

A Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) is characterized by:

• A series of level-offs during descent.

• A smooth descent with near-idle thrust to save fuel and reduce noise.

• A rapid descent used only in emergencies.

• A descent profile that is not optimized.

What is the 'flare' during landing?

• The point where the wheels touch the runway.

• The use of reverse thrust to slow the aircraft.

• Gently lifting the aircraft's nose to slow the descent for a smoother landing.

• The final approach path to the runway.
