Chapter 8

Proving tests are required of new type designs. If the design has never been proved under Part 121, it must be operated for?

100 hours including 10 at night.

According to an FAA study of rejected takeoffs (RTOs), statistically, one RTO occurs every _______ takeoffs.

3,000.

During a normal takeoff, an aircraft may not be banked prior to reaching a height of ____ feet as shown by the flight path or net flight path data. After attaining ____ feet in height, the aircraft may not be banked more then ____ degrees in any additional maneuvering.

50 , 50 and 15.

Landing limitations for alternate airport are similar to the landing limitations for destination airports. An operator may not list an airport as an alternate airport if at the anticipated weight at the anticipated time of arrival the aircraft cannot be brought to a stop in _______ percent of effective runway length for turbojet aircraft or _________ percent of the effective runway length for turboprop aircraft.

60, 70.

A two-engine, turbine-powered airplane may not be operated over a route that contains a point farther than ______ mins of flying time (in still air at normal cruising speed with one engine inop) from an adequate airport.

60.

Runway limit weight guarantees that an aircraft may..

Accelerated to V1, lose an engine , and continue the flight.

The maxiumum wieght at which an air carrier aircraft may depart is limited to?

All of the above.

In a situation in which the gross takeoff weight is limited by climb limit weight, in the event of an engine failure, the Go/ No Go decision must be made?

Before reaching V1.

In a situation in which the gross takeoff weight is limited by runway limit weight, in the event of an engine failure, the Go/No Go decision must be made?

Before reaching V1.

Climb limit weight is the max weight that guarantees that the aircraft:

Can proceed from a point 35 feet above the departure end of the runway to 1,500 feet above the runway surface ( or specified higher altitude ) while maintaining required climb gradients in order to achieve adequate obstacle clearance.

A turbine aircraft is scheduled into a runway that is 8,600 feet in length/ May this aircraft (which will require 5,100 feet to land) land there on a wet day?

No.

For an aircraft having three or more engines on a route that does not comply with "90-min rule: (a route withing 90 mins flight time , all engines operating, from an approved alternate airport) what must be done for the flight to be dispatched on the planned route?

The aircraft must be operated at a weight allowed by the AFM that allows it to fly airport and clear all terrain and obstructions simultaneously to an authorized alternate from a point where the two engines failed within 5 statute miles of the intended track by at least 2,000 feet vertically . Also , the net flight path must have a positive slope at 1,500 feet above the airport where the landing is assumed to be made after the engines fail.

Driftdown altitude is?

The altitude to which , following the failure of an engine above the one - engine inoperative absolute ceiling , an airplane will descend to and maintain , while using maximum continuous power on the operating engine and maintaining the one - engine inoperative best rate of climb speed.

Net takeoff flight path is used in computing takeoff/climb performance capability of the aircraft. What is net takeoff flight path for a twin-engine aircraft?

The climb performance of the aircraft as determined in certification testing reduced by 8 feet per 1,000 feet traveled.

A turbine aircraft is scheduled into a runway that is 11,000 feet in length. May this aircraft (which will, due to an anti-skid inop MEL, require 6,500 to land) land there on a dry runway? how about on a wet runway?

Yes on a dry runway; noon a wet runway.

In the event of an engine failure at or above V₁ , the pilot should achieve and maintain V₂ , until..

acceleration altitude.

All aircraft operated by part 121 carriers must either be U.S.-registered aircraft or..

foreign aircraft , approved under U.S. type design and operated under dry lease to the U.S. carrier.

V₁ , or takeoff decision speed , is the..

maximum speed in the takeoff at which the pilot must first take action to stop.

Takeoff distance must be accomplished?

within the length of the runway plus clearway (except clearway may only be counted up to one-half the length of the runway).

Takeoff run must be accomplished?

within the length of the runway.
