Which of the following is correct in terms of fate of climb (R/C)?

A)
R/C = lift/drag
B)
R/C = excess power/weight
C)
R/C = excess lift/drag
D)
R/C = excess power/Thrust required

Correct Answer :   R/C = excess power/weight

Explanation : Rate of climb is nothing but the vertical velocity of the aircraft. Rate of climb can be defined as the ratio of excess power of the aircraft to the aircraft weight. Hence, Correct relation between rate of climb and power is as follows: R/C = excess power/weight. Where, R/C = rate of climb.

If stall speed is 120 knots then, find average velocity at flare.
A)
110.25
B)
125.4
C)
137.5
D)
147.6

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   147.6

Explanation : Average velocity at Flare = 1.23*stall speed = 1.23*120 = 147.6 knots.

Find the approach speed for military aircraft. Considered stall speed is 22unit.
A)
12 ft
B)
20 m
C)
26.4 unit
D)
45 unit

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   26.4 unit

Explanation : For military aircraft, Approach speed = 1.2*stall speed = 1.2*22 = 26.4 unit.

For military aircraft touchdown speed is 100 knots then, approximate value of stall speed.
A)
90.90
B)
100
C)
200
D)
223

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   90.90

Explanation : Stall speed = touchdown speed/1.1 = 100/1.1 = 90.90.
