For questions 25 through 32, the answers are: b, b, a, b, b, a, d, c — Page 166, Lesson 195

I want to walk you through the answer key for the General Principles – Climb chapter. This is the answers page for the questions at the end of that chapter, and I'll read it to you in the order the questions appear. For questions 1 through 12, the answers are: d, a, d, d, c, b, a, b, c, c, b, d. For questions 13 through 24, the answers are: c, c, b, a, b, a, a, b, a, a, d, c. For questions 25 through 32, the answers are: b, b, a, b, b, a, d, c. Now, before we go further, I want to be clear about what this page actually is. It's the answer key — just the letter choices. It doesn't give you the reasoning, so I can't walk you through why each answer is what it is from this page alone. What I can do is give you the structure of the chapter so you know what these questions are testing. The chapter is called General Principles – Climb. It opens with the basic concept of climb, then moves into the angle of climb. From there it covers excess thrust — that's the thrust available beyond what's needed to maintain level flight, and it's what actually drives the climb. Then there's the effect of weight on climb angle, and thrust available. After that, calculating climb gradient, and climbing after an engine failure. Then the effect of flaps on climbing, and the climb angle — which is denoted by the Greek letter gamma. The chapter also covers the parasite drag curve, the induced drag curve, and the total drag curve. Then factors affecting angle of climb, calculating ground gradient, rate of climb, and factors affecting rate of climb. The questions run from page 76 through page 82, and the answers are on page 90. So those 32 answers I gave you correspond to the 32 questions in that set. If you want, we can go back into the chapter material itself — the climb angle, excess thrust, the drag curves — and work through the actual principles so the answers make sense. Just let me know.
