139. A definition of the term "viscous hydroplaning" is where

A. the airplane rides on standing water.

B. a film of moisture covers the painted or rubber-coated portion of the

runway.

C. the tires of the airplane are actually riding on a mixture of steam and
melted rubber.

Answer (B) is correct (FAA-P-8740-50)

140. Compared to dynamic hydroplaning, at what speed does viscous

hydroplaning occur when landing on a smooth, wet runway?

A. At approximately 2.0 times the speed that dynamic hydroplaning occurs.

B. At a lower speed than dynamic hydroplaning.

C. At the same speed as dynamic hydroplaning.

Answer (B) is correct (AC 91-6)

141. At what minimum speed (rounded off) could dynamic hydroplaning occur
on main tires having a pressure of 121 PSI?

A. 90 knots.

B. 96 knots.

C. 110 knots.

Answer (B) is correct ((FAA-P-8740-50)

142. At what minimum speed will dynamic hydroplaning begin if a tire has an
air pressure of 70 PSI?
A. 85 knots.

B. 80 knots.

C. 75 knots.

Answer (C) is correct ((FAA-P-8740-50)

143. Which term describes the hydroplaning which occurs when an airplane's tire
is effectively held off a smooth runway surface by steam generated by friction?

A. Reverted rubber hydroplaning.

B. Dynamic hydroplaning.

C. Viscous hydroplaning.

Answer (A) is correct ((FAA-P-8740-50)
