Just intuition. Seemed like those were the three most important instruments to help the pilot. Give me three more questions, but easier ones this time!
Tried to pick ones where intuition or common sense could be enough:
An aircraft climbs from an airfield (ELEV = 1500 ft AMSL) on a straight course at 600 ft/min, QNH = 1013 hPa, VG (GS) during climb = 85 MPH. At what distance from the airfield will FL 75 be reached?"A) 12 NM B) 18 NM C) 20 NM D) 16 NM
hints (from me):
- AMSL: Above Mean Sea Level
- VG (GS): ground speed
- FL 75: 7500 ft AMSL
- you don't need to know what QNH is
Which conditions are most favorable for a takeoff with a powered aircraft?A) Low airfield elevation, cold, high air pressure B) Low airfield elevation, warm, low air pressure C) High airfield elevation, warm, low air pressure D) High airfield elevation, cold, low air pressure
What is a realistic time interval for airspace observation between detecting a collision risk and initiating an evasive maneuver?A) 100-120s B) 2s C) 5-10s D) 30-60s
bonus question:
On an upslope runway, the impression may arise ...A) that the rate of descent is too low B) that the approach angle is too shallow C) that the landing approach is too short D) that the approach angle is too steep
