Question 3 of 21

362) Which of the following statements is correct?

Select one of the following:

Question 8 of 21

1

1) The optimum cruise altitude is

Select one of the following:

  • the pressure altitude up to which a cabin altitude of 8000 ft can be maintained.

  • the pressure altitude at which the fuel flow is a maximum.

Explanation

Question 9 of 21

1

2) Which statement with respect to the step climb is correct?

Select one of the following:

  • A step climb is executed because ATC desires a higher altitude.

  • A step climb is executed in principle when, just after leveling off, the 1.3g altitude is reached.

  • Executing a desired step climb at high altitude can be limited by buffet onset at g-loads larger than 1.

  • A step climb must be executed immediately after the aeroplane has exceeded the optimum altitude.
