Answer

Approach areas are measured in horizontal surfaces

Answer

Obstruction clearance surface and approach surface are same

Question 4

Pick up the correct statement from the following:

Accepted Answer

All the above

Answer

The distance between the points of intersection of the extreme tangents to the transition curve is kept greater than 7500 m × sum of grade changes at the point of intersection

Answer

The rate of change of grade is limited to 0.3% per 30 m length of the curve

Answer

According to I.C.A.O. the maximum longitudinal gradient along a runway is limited to 1.5%

Question 5

Pick up the correct statement from the following:

Accepted Answer

All the above

Answer

The speed of the aircraft relative to the ground, is called cruising speed

Answer

The speed of the aircraft relative to wind, is called air speed

Answer

When wind is blowing the direction of the flight, air speed is less than cruising speed

Accepted Answer

450 kmph and 500 kmph

Answer

500 kmph and 450 kmph

Answer

450 kmph and 450 kmph

Answer

500 kmph and 500 kmph
