CPL Flight Planning Practice Questions - CASA Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) - Flight Planning & Performance (CFPA) Exam - CPL Flight Planning Practice Questions - CASA Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) - Flight Planning & Performance (CFPA) Exam

Question 1

Which of the following describes density altitude and its effect on aircraft performance?

Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature; high density altitude increases engine thrust and aerodynamic lift. Indicated altitude corrected for instrument error; high density altitude decreases aerodynamic drag and improves climb rate. Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature; high density altitude decreases engine thrust and aerodynamic lift. Pressure altitude corrected for humidity; low density altitude reduces engine power and increases take-off distance.

Correct Answer:

Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature; high density altitude decreases engine thrust and aerodynamic lift.

Question 2

What is the primary effect of a headwind on take-off performance?

It decreases the lift-off airspeed while keeping the groundspeed constant. It increases the ground roll distance and increases the take-off distance required (TODR). It increases the groundspeed at liftoff and decreases the climb gradient. It decreases the ground roll distance and decreases the take-off distance required (TODR).

Correct Answer:

It decreases the ground roll distance and decreases the take-off distance required (TODR).

Question 3

What is the main effect of a tailwind on landing performance?

It increases the groundspeed at touchdown and increases the landing distance required (LDR). It decreases the groundspeed at touchdown and decreases the landing distance required (LDR). It reduces the landing distance by increasing the aerodynamic drag. It increases the climb gradient and reduces the braking distance.

Correct Answer:

It increases the groundspeed at touchdown and increases the landing distance required (LDR).

Question 4

An aircraft is landing on Runway 09. The wind is reported as 130 degrees at 20 knots. What is the approximate crosswind component?

20 knots 17 knots 15 knots 13 knots

Correct Answer:

13 knots

Question 5

What is the general effect of a downslope on take-off and landing distance?

It decreases both the take-off and landing ground rolls. It increases both the take-off and landing ground rolls. It increases the take-off ground roll and decreases the landing ground roll. It decreases the take-off ground roll but increases the landing ground roll.

Correct Answer:

It decreases the take-off ground roll but increases the landing ground roll.
