Performance: DGCA Air Navigation questions

Question 1

The induced drag of an aeroplane.

Accepted Answer

decreases with increasing airspeed

Answer

is independent of the airspeed

Answer

increases with increasing airspeed

Question 2

The stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the aeroplane is controllable in landing configuration is abbreviated as.

Accepted Answer

Vₛ₀

Answer

Vₛ₁

Answer

Vₛ

Question 3

Regarding take-off, the take-off decision speed V1:

Accepted Answer

is the airspeed on the ground at which the pilot is assumed to have made a decision to continue or discontinue the take-off

Answer

is an airspeed at which the aero plane is airborne but below 35ft and the pilot is assumed to have made a decision to continue or discontinue the take-off

Answer

is the airspeed of the aero plane upon reaching 35ft above the take-off surface

Question 4

An increase in atmospheric pressure has, among other things, the following consequences on landing performance:

Accepted Answer

a reduced landing distance and improved go-around performance

Answer

an increased landing distance and improved go-around performance

Answer

an increased landing distance and degraded go-around performance
