Question 1

Increasing dynamic pressure will have the following effect on the drag of an aeroplane (all other factors of importance remaining constant):

Accepted Answer

At speeds greater than the minimum drag speed, drag increases

Answer

None

Answer

Drag decreases across the whole speed range

Answer

Drag increases across the whole speed range

Question 2

The 'maximum tyre speed' limits:

Accepted Answer

VLOF in terms of ground speed

Answer

V1 in KT TAS

Answer

VR, or VMU if this is lower than VR

Answer

V1 in KT ground speed

Question 3

Accepted Answer

The operations manual's chapter 'Abnormal and Emergency Procedures'.

Answer

The minimum equipment list.

Answer

The OPS.

Answer

The flight record.

3.0°C/1000 FT

Answer

2°C/1000 FT

Answer

3.5°C/1000 FT

Answer

1.5°C/1000 FT

Question 5

The principle used in VOR bearing measurement is:

Accepted Answer

Phase comparison

Answer

Difference in depth of modulation

Answer

Beat frequency discrimination

Answer

Envelope matching

Question 6

The error in altimeter readings caused by the variation of the static pressure near the source is known as:

Accepted Answer

Position pressure error

Answer

Barometric error.

Answer

Hysteresis effect.

Answer

Instrument error.

Question 7

On the ground, during a left turn, the turn indicator indicates:

Accepted Answer

Needle to the left, ball to the right

Answer

Needle to the left, ball to the left

Answer

Needle in the middle, ball to the left

Answer

Needle in the middle, ball to the right

Question 8

Which one of the statements below is correct regarding the DME?

Accepted Answer

The DME operating frequencies are in the UHF frequency band.

Answer

The DME ground station is always co-located with a VOR station.

Answer

The indicated distance is the ground distance measured from the aircraft's projected position on the ground to the DME ground installation.

Answer

Two lines of position obtained from two different DME's give an unambiguous fix.

Question 9

A higher outside air temperature (OAT):

Accepted Answer

Decreases the brake energy limited take-off mass

Answer

Increases the climb limited take-off mass

Answer

Increases the field length limited take-off mass

Answer

Decreases the take-off distance

Question 10

With zero wind, the angle of attack for maximum range for an aeroplane with turbojet engines is:

Accepted Answer

Lower than the angle of attack corresponding to maximum endurance

Answer

Equal to the angle of attack corresponding to maximum lift to drag ratio

Answer

Equal to the angle of attack corresponding to zero induced drag

Answer

Equal to the angle of attack corresponding to maximum endurance
