Which of the following would result in a decrease in the rate of climb?

An increase in headwind component

A decrease in headwind component

A reduction in gross weight

A reduction in engine power output

Rate of climb depends on excess power (power available − power required). Reducing engine power directly reduces power available, thus reducing the rate of climb.

The best way to avoid the wake turbulence behind a heavy aircraft which has just landed is to

Aim to touch down at point before the touch-down point of the heavy aircraft

Aim to touch down at the same point as the heavy aircraft

Aim to touch down behind the heavy aircraft but on one side of the runway

Aim to touch down at a point ahead of the touch-down point of the heavy aircraft

Vortices are generated along the flight path. Landing ahead of the heavy aircraft's touchdown point puts you in an area where vortices have already descended below the runway.

After flying for some time, the centre-zero ammeter shows almost zero (just a small positive indication). This would mean:

That the aircraft alternator has failed and the battery is providing all the power

Insufficient electrical output is being produced by the alternator

That the battery is being recharged

That the battery is fully charged and the system is working normally
