Windshears vertical and horizontal.
Question 243-27 : Fuel jettisoning..if obliged to jettison part of the fuel in flight, it would be better to do so ?
In a straight line and at a relatively high flight level.
Sudaviation03 .what are the cons with jettisoning in a holding stack i understand why we should jettison at a high flight level, but we usually see aircrafts jettisoning in a stack instead of in a straight line i guess to remain close to the alternate airport where they plan to land. is it just a matter of ground environment.thanks for your answer...the icao establishes standards and recommended international practices for contracting member states. you are right by stating that it is better to remain close to the airport...air traffic management pans atm doc 4444.when an aircraft operating within controlled airspace needs to dump fuel, the flight crew shall coordinate with atc the following route to be flown, which, if possible, should be clear of cities and towns, preferably over water and away from areas where thunderstorms have been reported or are expected, the level to be used, which should be not less than 1800 m 6000 ft and the duration of the fuel dumping. if obliged to jettison part of the fuel in flight it would be better to do so in a straight line and at a relatively high flight level but if unavoidable fuel may be jettisoned anywhere.
Question 243-28 : Wind shear and microburst..just after take off an aircraft encounters a 'microburst' situated directly ahead. the initial indications will be.1 an increase in head wind.2 an increase in tail wind.3 better climb performance.4 a decrease in climb gradient.the combination regrouping all the correct ?
1, 3.
.the initial indications will be.an increase in head wind and better climb performance..as you fly into a 'microburst' you are likely to encounter an increasing headwind, it is similar to an increase in airspeed, your climb performance are improved..after passing through the 'microburst', headwind turns into a tailwind, you will experiment a decrease in climb performance even a loss of altitude sometimes.

1, 3, 5.
.example.without wing contamination, your aircraft stalls at 100 kt..at what speed it will stall with contamination 90 kt or 110 kt..it will stall at 110 kt, it means that you have to take care when flying in winter conditions, due to ice or snow accretion on the wing, stall speed is increased..pdf676

.class a fire flammable solids any object that might catch ignition and be set on fire requiring the cooling effect of water e.g. material, wood, paper, cushions, etc. it is safe to use any type of extinguishers against such fire whenever water is not available.. class a extinguishers = water...class b fire liquid fire liquid fire involves flammable substances that are usually lighter than water e.g. oil, fuel, paint, kerosene. water and water glycol fire extinguishers should not be used to fight such fire, as water will only help it spread and expand. concentration should be on the exclusion of oxy. class b extinguishers = foam...class c fire electrical fire fire involving electrical equipment is usually the result of a short circuit. it is essential to cut the electrical source of ignition and exclude the oxy.beware of using water against such fire to prevent electric shocks. if there is no other alternative, water glycol extinguishers could be used in short shots.. class c extinguishers = dry chemicals, hafex gas...class d fire metal fire metal fire involves certain combustible metals e.g. magnesium, titanium, potassium, sodium. these metals burn at high temperatures and give off sufficient oxygen to support combustion. they may react violently with water or other chemicals and must be handled with care.. class d extinguishers = sand, dry chemical powder...a water h4o fire extinguisher can be used for a class a fire.

Question 243-33 : A runway covered with 4 mm thick water, is said to be ?
Contaminated.
.contaminated runway a runway is considered to be contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area whether in isolated areas or not within the required length and width being used is covered by the following.. i surface water more than 3 mm 0,125 in deep, or by slush, or loose snow, equivalent to more than 3 mm 0,125 in of water.. ii snow which has been compressed into a solid mass which resists further compression and will hold together or break into lumps if picked up compacted snow or.. iii ice, including wet ice.
Question 243-34 : Icing conditions..an aircraft having undergone an anti icing procedure must be anti icing fluid free at the latest when ?
It is rotating before taking off.
.the faa, jaa/easa and oaci has received several reports of flightcrews that have conducted rejected takeoffs after their airplanes were treated with thickened anti icing fluids. the flightcrews have reported that the aircraft did not respond to normal, or even slightly above normal, control column back pressure inputs for rotation to the takeoff attitude. the flightcrews assessed the need for unusually high back pressure forces to be a flight control failure.and elected to reject the takeoff at speeds in excess of vr or v1 as applicable. fortunately, these rejected takeoffs did not occur on runways of limited length...a common factor in these incidents is that the rotation speeds were below, at, or only slightly above the 100 kt minimum rotation speed recommended for application of type ii or iv anti icing fluids. in addition, the transport category aircraft involved all had unpowered elevator flight controls. in all of the reported cases, the use of thickened antiicing fluids was approved for the airplane, and the flightcrews reported following the airplane manufacturer's procedures for takeoff after the aircraft was treated with thickened anti icing fluids. in many of these reported cases, the rejected takeoffs occurred during the flightcrew's first takeoff, or their first takeoff for that winter season, when the airplane had been treated with thickened anti icing fluids.
Question 243-35 : An aircraft having undergone an anti icing procedure and having exceeded the protection time of the anti icing fluid ?
Must undergo a de icing procedure before a new application of anti icing fluid for take off.

Question 243-36 : The time of useful consciousness in case of an explosive decompression at an altitude of 40 000 ft is ?
12 seconds.
. 2640
Question 243-37 : In case of landing on a flooded runway and in heavy rain..1 you increase your approach speed.2 you land firmly in order to obtain a firm contact of the wheels with the runway and immediately land your nose gear.3 you decrease your approach speed.4 you use systematically all the lift dumper ?
2, 4.
.by landing with a firm contact you will be able to quickly brake and deploy spoilers lift dumper devices. with heavy rain, you will not decrease your approach speed.
Question 243-38 : In case of a serious threat based on the presence of a bomb on board a pressurized aircraft and disregarding any fuel considerations ?
You descend to the flight level corresponding to the indicated cabin altitude or the safety altitude if higher and take preventive steps by putting yourself in a landing approach configuration.
.it clearly depends on operator's procedures, but the impact of the explosion of a bomb on board a pressurized aircraft will be reduced if the cabin altitude equals the aircraft pressure altitude..if the bomb explodes, and if you lose hydraulic systems, you will not be able to deploy flaps. by preparing your aircraft for landing, you give yourself the best opportunity to carry a landing on an airport or not with the greatest chance of success.
Question 243-39 : Mist in the cabin, pressure and temperature drop characterise ?
A rapid depressurization.
Question 243-40 : In case of a ditching, the cabin attendants will..1 evacuate women and children first.2 have the passengers embark directly in the liferafts.3 prevent passenger movements which may impede the airplane's flotation ability.4 ensure the complete evacuation of the airplane..the combination ?
