MCQs on Flight Mechanics – Landing Analysis
1 - Question
Following diagram represents ____________
a) typical landing analysis segments
b) takeoff phase
c) climbing
d) takeoff ground roll
View Answer
a
Explanation: Above diagram is showing typical landing phase of an aircraft. As shown in the diagram landing phase is subdivided into number of segments such as flare distance, Approach distance etc. Takeoff ground roll is a segment of takeoff phase. Takeoff phase includes ground roll, transition, climb etc
2 - Question
The segment marked by ‘?’ in following diagram is showing _____
a) approach
b) climb
c) takeoff
d) cruise
View Answer
a
Explanation: The term marked by? Is showing the Approach segment of aircraft landing phase. Climbing phase is used to increase the altitude of the aircraft. Cruise segment has lift equal to weight and Thrust equal to drag. Takeoff phase is different from the landing phase.
3 - Question
The distance shown by ‘?’ in the following diagram is termed as __________
a) flare distance
b) loiter
c) cruise
d) climb
View Answer
a
Explanation: Above diagram is illustrating typical landing phase of the aircraft. As shown in the diagram flare distance is marked by ‘?’. Aircraft will decelerate from Approach speed to touchdown speed during flare.
4 - Question
Find the approach speed if, stall speed is 12 unit.
a) 15.6 unit
b) 12 unit
c) 10 unit
d) 1 unit
View Answer
a
Explanation: Approach speed = 1.3* stall speed = 1.3*12 = 15.6 unit.
5 - Question
Find the approach speed for military aircraft. Considered stall speed is 22unit.
a) 26.4 unit
b) 20 m
c) 12 ft
d) 45 unit
View Answer
a
Explanation: For military aircraft, Approach speed = 1.2*stall speed = 1.2*22 = 26.4 unit.
6 - Question
Find the required amount of touchdown speed if stall speed is 100knots.
a) 115 knot
b) 120 knot
c) 100 knot
d) 99.2 knot
View Answer
a
Explanation: Touchdown speed = 1.15*stall speed = 1.15*100 = 115 knot.
7 - Question
If stall speed is 120 knots then, find average velocity at flare.
a) 147.6
b) 120
c) 110
d) 567
View Answer
a
Explanation: Average velocity at Flare = 1.23*stall speed = 1.23*120 = 147.6 knots.
8 - Question
For military aircraft touchdown speed is 100 knots then, approximate value of stall speed.
a) 90.90
b) 100
c) 200
d) 223
View Answer
a
Explanation: Stall speed = touchdown speed/1.1 = 100/1.1 = 90.90.
9 - Question
Find the required average velocity during flare for military aircraft if stall speed is 45 unit.
a) 51.75 unit
b) 60 unit
c) 45 unit
d) 100 unit
View Answer
a
Explanation: Average velocity during flare = 1.15*stall speed = 1.15*45 = 51.75 unit.
10 - Question
Determine the value of FAR field length. Consider approach of 100 ft., flare of 120 feet and ground roll of 600ft.
a) 1366.12
b) 109
c) 600
d) 700
View Answer
a
Explanation: FAR field length = 1.666*(approach + flare + ground roll)
= 1.666*(100 + 120 + 600) = 1366.12.
11 - Question
Which of the following is correct?
a) Aircraft decelerates from Approach to Touchdown speed during flare
b) Lift is always same as weight
c) Drag is always same as Thrust
d) Thrust loading is defined as the ratio of lift to drag
View Answer
a
Explanation: During flare aircraft will decelerates from Approach speed to touchdown speed. Lift is not always same as weight. Drag is not always same as Thrust. During cruise, lift is equal to weight and Thrust is equal to drag.
12 - Question
Final velocity at the end of the landing phase will be ____________
a) zero
b) same as Approach speed
c) touchdown speed
d) same as climb rate
View Answer
a
Explanation: Final velocity at the end of the aircraft landing phase will be zero. It is not equal to approach speed. Touchdown speed is achieved during flare segment. Rate of climb is vertical velocity of the aircraft.
