Question

The operating height is achieved by maximum rate climb.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in unit test.

My query is from Climb Rate in chapter Climb and Descent Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

To explain: The operating height is achieved by maximum rate climb. The safe height of an aircraft for take-off above the airfield is 15000m. The use of safe height is to avoid ground based obstacles and make a clear flight path to avoid aircraft collision and loss of life and property.
