5 - In which way may an altimeter subscale which is set to an incorrect QNH lead to an incorrect altimeter reading? If the subscale is set to a lower than actual pressure, the indication is too high. This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended If the subscale is set to a lower than actual pressure, the indication is too low. This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended If the subscale is set to a higher than actual pressure, the indication is too high. This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended If the subscale is set to a higher than actual pressure, the indication is too low. This may lead to much greater heights above the ground than intended

9 - Damages to the hot-air balloon hull fabric are most critical in which area? In the lower third. At the top area At the equator In the apron area.

10 - Lower-than-standard temperature may lead to... An altitude indication which is too high. An altitude indication which is too low. A correct altitude indication as long as the altimeter subscale is set to correct for non-standard temperature A blockage of the Pitot tube by ice, freezing the altimeter indication to its present value.

11 - What ist the purpose of the sounding pipe valve? It allows pressure equalization during cruise at high altitude To indicate the volumetric filling limit. It prevents air from entering the burner system For venting the liquid gas container bottle.
