A jet aircraft is experiencing buffet whilst flying at its aerodynamic ceiling (coffin corner). What is the recommended recovery for this?

Maintain thrust and commence a turn at a 30° bank angle. The drag increase will cause a descent without significantly affecting the manoeuvre margins.

Maintain current thrust setting and descend. Increasing TAS is acceptable, but a decreased TAS will cause a stall.

Reduce thrust, maintain IAS and descend. Any increase or decrease in IAS could increase the buffet.

Reduce thrust, maintain current TAS and descend. Either increasing or decreasing TAS could cause high-speed or low-speed buffet.

An aeroplane is conducting a 6 hour sector flying from North Africa to Europe. The initial cruising altitude is FL340 with the recommended maximum being FL390. Normally the optimum cruising altitude is 500 ft to 2500 ft below the recommended maximum and the recommended maximum altitude increases by 100 ft for every 10 minutes of flight time as the fuel burns off. On this occasion the FMS computes an optimum altitude of FL340 for the entire flight. What could be the reason for it not recommending a step climb to FL370 or higher?

The aeroplane is too heavy for any higher altitudes during the course of the flight to allow for a 2000 ft climb.

The FMS has not been programmed properly with the correct aeroplane weights, thus giving inaccurate information.

Normally it is more efficient to stay at lower altitudes to take advantage of a higher TAS for the same Mach number.

The wind component at higher altitudes is less favourable, offsetting the increased fuel burn at the lower altitude.

The Specific Range (SR) is...

An airline wishes to operate a new commercial route on one of their jet aircraft to an airfield with a high field elevation. In summer, the climate of the airfield includes frequent low pressure systems, and the temperatures can get as high as 30°C. In comparison to an airfield at sea level in ISA conditions, what will be the likely effect of this destination on the maximum landing mass?

The MLM will be decreased.

The MLM will remain fairly constant as the pressure difference compensates for the higher temperature.

The MLM will be increased.

The MLM will increase slightly as the temperature difference compensates for the lower pressure.

Before a departure with a Performance Class A twin-jet aeroplane, the pilots calculate the take-off performance. As the Actual Take-off Mass is less than the performance limiting masses for the existing conditions, it is decided to use reduced (FLEX) thrust. An air temperature of 45°C is used for the performance calculation, but the actual OAT is 20°C. Compared to the calculated take-off distance using 45°C, the actual take-off distance will be...

The same. The engines will be producing greater thrust at 20°C, but this will be counteracted by the higher take-off speeds expressed in TAS at that OAT.

Shorter. The engines will produce slightly greater thrust at 20°C, and the take-off speeds expressed in TAS will be lower at that OAT.

Longer. The take-off thrust will be reduced because an assumed temperature 25°C higher than the OAT is used, while the take-off speeds expressed in IAS will be the same in both cases.

The same. The engines will produce the same thrust at 20°C and 45°C, and the take-off speeds expressed in IAS will be the same in both cases.

A jet aeroplane has three configurations available for take-off. T/O 1: 1 stage of slats and flaps. T/O 2: 2 stages of slats and flaps. T/O 3: 3 stages of slats and 3 stages of flaps. The runway is NOT limiting but the given departure requires a climb gradient of 6.8% to 2000 ft. Which T/O configuration will be most appropriate to achieve the best climb gradient?

T/O 1 because it results in lower climb speeds, giving a higher angle of climb than when using T/O2.

T/O 2 because it results in lower climb speeds and greater rate of climb than when using T/O3.
