Aircraft Performance Mcqs - Set 3

1)   Performance is the initial design phase.

a. True
b. False
c. _
d. _
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: True

Explanation:
Performance is the initial design phase. Performance measurement is the testing phase and operational performance covers the certification of the aircraft and the provision of validated operating data.


2)   WAT stands for _______

a. Weight, Altitude, Temperature
b. Weather, Altitude, Temperature
c. Weight, Atmosphere, Temperature
d. Weather, Atmosphere, Temperature
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Weight, Altitude, Temperature

Explanation:
WAT stands for Weight, Altitude, Temperature. Data measured in flight are measured under the arbitrary WAT conditions existing at the time. The flight –measured data will need to be processed to conform to specific combinations of WAT for the construction of the performance manual.


3)   Operating Data Manual (ODM) contains the information on the performance of the aircraft needed by the operator for flight planning.

a. True
b. False
c. _
d. _
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: True

Explanation:
ODM stands for Operating Data Manual. Operating Data Manual (ODM) contains the information on the performance of the aircraft needed by the operator for flight planning above the ground.


4)   ODM stands for _________

a. Operation Data Manual
b. Operating Data Manual
c. Operation Data Management
d. Operating Digital Manual
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Operating Data Manual

Explanation:
ODM stands for Operating Data Manual. Operating Data Manual (ODM) contains the information on the performance of the aircraft needed by the operator for flight planning above the ground.


5)   What is meant by performance measurement?

a. Verification of aircraft achievements
b. Design new type of aircraft
c. Modification of existing aircraft type
d. Supplementor extent the full-scale measured performance of an aircraft
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Verification of aircraft achievements

Explanation:
Performance measurement is the process of verification of aircraft estimations in design performance, to demonstrate that the aircraft can satisfy the safety criteria set down in the airworthiness requirements, to provide validated performance data for the performance section of the flight manual.


6)   Which of the following is applied to performance measurement?

a. Design
b. Modification
c. Supplement
d. Validation of performance data
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Validation of performance data

Explanation:
Performance measurement is the process of verification of aircraft estimations in design performance, to demonstrate that the aircraft can satisfy the safety criteria set down in the airworthiness requirements, to provide validated performance data for the performance section of the flight manual.


7)   APMS stands for _________

a. Aviation Performance Measurement System
b. Aviation Performance Measuring System
c. Aircraft Performance Measuring System
d. Aircraft Performance Measurement System
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Aviation Performance Measuring System

Explanation:
APMS stands for Aviation Performance Measuring System. APMS is an advanced software analysis tool used in flight-data analyses. It is mostly preferred for safety and to increase fight reliability.


8)   FAA stands for ________

a. Fundamental Aviation Administration
b. Federal Aircraft Administration
c. Federal Aviation Administration
d. Fundamental Aircraft Administration
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Federal Aviation Administration

Explanation:
FAA stands for Federal Aviation Administration. FAA is a national aviation agency of the US. This was formed after the formation of ICAO in the early 1970’s. The functions of FAA is to look after the safety, air traffic and follow the five degrees of freedom.


9)   AFM stands for ______

a. Authority of Flight Manual
b. Aircraft Flight Manual
c. Aircraft Flight Management
d. Authority of Flight Management
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Aircraft Flight Manual

Explanation:
AFM stands for Aircraft Flight Manual. It is also known as Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH). It contains the operating data such as climb, take-off and range data of the aircraft. Few changes had to be done by the user or check for those variations to make the data useful.


10)   POH stands for __________

a. Pilot’s Operational Handbook
b. Pilot’s Operating Handbook
c. Performance Operating Handbook
d. Performance Operational Handbook
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Pilot’s Operating Handbook

Explanation:
POH stands for Pilot’s Operating Handbook. It contains the operating data such as climb, take-off and range data of the aircraft. Few changes had to be done by the user or check for those variations to make the data useful.
