The maximum allowable airspeed of an aircraft is lower
- A.
At higher altitudes
- B.
At lower altitudes
- C.
At true airspeed
- D.
At sea level.
Correct Answer
A. At higher altitudesExplanation
As an aircraft climbs to higher altitudes, the air density decreases. This decrease in air density affects the performance of the aircraft, particularly its ability to generate lift. In order to maintain a safe and stable flight, the maximum allowable airspeed of the aircraft is lower at higher altitudes. This is because the reduced air density reduces the amount of lift that can be generated by the wings, making it necessary to fly at a lower airspeed to maintain the same level of lift and control.Rate this question:

The aircraft’s altitude aneroid ensures accurate airspeed indicator operation regardless of
- A.
True airspeed
- B.
Density error
- C.
Temperature.
- D.
Mach.
Correct Answer
D. Mach.Explanation
The aircraft's altitude aneroid ensures accurate airspeed indicator operation regardless of Mach. The aneroid measures the altitude of the aircraft and adjusts the airspeed indicator accordingly. Mach is a dimensionless quantity that represents the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium. By considering Mach, the aneroid can compensate for the changes in air density and temperature that occur at different altitudes, ensuring accurate airspeed indication.Rate this question:

What is the primary difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS)?
- A.
Density error.
- B.
Instrument error.
- C.
Installation error.
- D.
Differential error.
Correct Answer
A. Density error.Explanation
The primary difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS) is density error. Indicated airspeed (IAS) is the speed shown on the aircraft's airspeed indicator, which is calibrated to measure the dynamic pressure of the air. However, this measurement is affected by changes in air density, such as altitude or temperature variations. True airspeed (TAS), on the other hand, is the actual speed of the aircraft through the air, unaffected by density changes. Therefore, the difference between IAS and TAS is primarily caused by density error.Rate this question:

The sensing elements on an aircraft’s true airspeed indicator are surrounded by
- A.
Pitot pressure
- B.
Static pressure
- C.
Impact pressure
- D.
Methyl chloride gas
Correct Answer
B. Static pressureExplanation
The sensing elements on an aircraft's true airspeed indicator are surrounded by static pressure. Static pressure is the pressure exerted by the surrounding air at rest, and it is essential for accurate airspeed measurements. The static pressure is used to determine the altitude and vertical speed of the aircraft. By measuring the difference between the pitot pressure (dynamic pressure) and the static pressure, the true airspeed can be calculated. Therefore, the sensing elements need to be surrounded by static pressure to ensure accurate readings.Rate this question:

Each total air temperature probe contains these sensing elements
- A.
Two variable resistance-type
- B.
Three variable resistance-type.
- C.
Two variable capacitance-type
- D.
Three variable capacitance-type.
Correct Answer
A. Two variable resistance-typeExplanation
The correct answer is "Two variable resistance-type." This means that each total air temperature probe contains two sensing elements that are of the variable resistance-type. These sensing elements are used to measure the air temperature and provide accurate readings. The use of variable resistance-type sensing elements allows for precise measurements and ensures that the total air temperature is accurately recorded.Rate this question:

The recording capacity of the flight data recorder system is
- A.
15 minutes
- B.
25 minutes
- C.
15 hours
- D.
25 hours
Correct Answer
D. 25 hoursExplanation
The flight data recorder system has a recording capacity of 25 hours. This means that it can continuously record and store data from the aircraft's instruments, communications, and other systems for up to 25 hours. This is important for accident investigations and maintenance purposes, as it allows investigators to access a comprehensive record of the aircraft's performance leading up to an incident or accident.Rate this question:
