total weight of the aircraft/ wing area
- (D) Gross
total weight of the aircraft/total available H.P of engines

- (A) Aircraft rear loading door is far away from
terminal building
- (B) Hot blast is directed towards the terminal building
- (C) Overall apron area required is more
- (D) All the above
3. The air is blowing at a speed of 75 knots in the direction of the aircraft flying at a ground speed of 775 knots. The air speed of the aircraft, is
- (A) 775 knots
- (B) 75
knots
- (C) 850 knots
- (D) 675 knots
4. Maximum gross takeoff weight of an aircraft is
- (A) Equal to the maximum structural landing weight
- (B) Less than the maximum structural landing weight
- (C) More than the maximum structural landing weight
- (D) Equal to the empty operating weight plus the
payload
5. Pick up the correct statement from the following:
- (A) Minimum
turning radius of aircrafts decides the size of the apron and the radius of the
curves at taxi-ends
- (B) Take
off and landing distances for an aircraft, determine the minimum runway length
- (C) The
length of the normal haul of the air craft decides the frequency of operation
- (D) All the
above
6. As per ICAO, the minimum basic runway length for A and E type of airport will be
- (A) 1500 m and 600 m
- (B) 2100 m and 750 m
- (C) 1500 m and 750 m
- (D) 2100 m and 600 m
7. Pick up the correct statement from the following:
- (A) Runway
edge from the landing side, is called threshold
- (B) Localizer
indicates to the pilot his position with respect to the proposed alignment
- (C) The glide
slope indicates the correct angle of descent
- (D) All the
above
8. Assertion A : The ratio of arriving and departing aircrafts influences the airport
Capacity: Reason R : Landing operation is
generally given priority over the taking off operation.
Select your answer based on the coding
system given below:
- (A) Both A and R is true and R is the correct
explanation of A
- (B) Both A and R is true and R is not the
correct explanation of A
