Question 3

To avoid the wing tip vortices of a departing jet aeroplane during take-off, the pilot should:

Accepted Answer

Climb above and stay upwind of the jet aeroplane's flight path.

Answer

Remain below the flight path of the jet aeroplane.

Answer

Lift off at a point well past the jet aeroplane's flight path.

Answer

Remain below and downwind of the jet aeroplane's flight path.

Question 4

What effect does landing at high altitude airports have on ground speed with comparable conditions relative to temperature, wind and aeroplane weight?

Accepted Answer

Higher than at low altitude.

Answer

The same as at low altitude.

Answer

Lower than at low altitude.

Answer

Dynamic pressure will be the same at any altitude.

Question 5

At higher elevation airports the pilot should know that indicated airspeed:

Accepted Answer

Will be unchanged, but ground speed will be faster.

Answer

Will be higher, but ground speed will be unchanged.

Answer

Should be increased to compensate for the thinner air.

Answer

Should be higher to obtain a higher landing speed.
