ATP-CTP Exam with Complete SolutionsWhat is the result of a shock-induced separation of airflow occurring symmetrically near the
wing root of a swept wing aircraft?
(A) A high-speed stall and sudden pitch-up
(B) Severe porpoising.
(C) A severe moment or "Mach Tuck Correct Ans-(C) A severe moment or "Mach Tuck
The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing altitude. This occurs because:
(A) The air temperature decreases.
(B) The air pressure decreases.
(C) The composition of the air changes. Correct Ans-(A) The air temperature decreases.
Critical Mach number can be defined as:
(A) The speed at which the aircraft is traveling faster than sound.
(B) The maximum Mach number at which an aircraft may be safely operated.

(C) The speed of an aicraft in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first
reaches, but doesn't exceed, Mach 1.0. Correct Ans-(C) The speed of an aicraft in which
airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first reaches, but doesn't exceed, Mach 1.0.
Stability in the vertical axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic
stability about the vertical axis on modern jet transports is from:
(A) The vertical fin
(B) The rudder
(C) An active stability augmentation system/yaw damper
(D) Pilot roll input Correct Ans-(C) An active stability augmentation system/yaw damper
Swept wings cause a significant:
(A) increase in effectiveness of flaps.
(B) Reduction in effectiveness of flaps
(C) flap actuation reliability issue Correct Ans-(B) Reduction in effectiveness of flaps

Which of the following statements regarding energy is true?
(A) Kinetic energy decreases with increasing airspeed.
(B) Potential energy is approximately proportional to airspeed.
(C) Chemical energy remains constant throughout a flight
(D) Kinetic energy can be traded for potential energy, and potential energy can be traded for
kinetic energy Correct Ans-(D) Kinetic energy can be traded for potential energy, and
potential energy can be traded for kinetic energy
The objective in maneuvering the airplane is to manage energy so that:
(A) Kinetic energy stays between limits (stall and placard)

(D) All of the above Correct Ans-(D) All of the above
What is the effect on total drag is airspeed slows below L/D Max?
, ATP-CTP Exam with Complete Solutions
(A) Drag increases because of increased parasite drag

(A) Range
(B) Endurance
(C) Ride Quality Correct Ans-(B) Endurance
When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, which type of
drag predominates?
(A) Parasite
(B) Induced
(C) Each type of drag contributes equally Correct Ans-(A) Parasite
