Question 1

An aircraft in the northern hemisphere makes an accurate rate one turn to the right. If the initial heading was 330°, after 30 seconds of the turn the direct reading magnetic compass should read:

Accepted Answer

Less than 060°.

Answer

More or less than 060° depending on the pendulous suspension used.

Answer

060°.

Answer

More than 060°.

Question 2

When the intruding aircraft is equipped with a serviceable mode C transponder, the TCAS 2 (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) generates a:

Accepted Answer

'traffic advisory' and vertical 'resolution advisory'.

Answer

'traffic advisory', vertical and horizontal 'resolution advisory'.

Answer

Vertical 'traffic advisory' and an horizontal 'resolution advisory'.

Answer

'traffic advisory' and horizontal 'resolution advisory'.

Question 3

During a category III automatic approach, the position signals in the vertical plane under 200 ft are based on:

Accepted Answer

A radio altimeter.

Answer

An altimeter set to the QFE.

Answer

An altimeter set to 1013 hPa.

Answer

An altimeter set to the QNH.

Question 4

The operating frequency range of a low altitude radio altimeter is:

Accepted Answer

4200 MHz to 4400 MHz.

Answer

5400 MHz or 9400 MHz.

Answer

2700 MHz to 2900 MHz.

Answer

5 GHz.

Question 5

With EAS and pressure altitude (Zp), we can deduce:

Accepted Answer

CAS.

Answer

TAS.

Answer

CAS and TAS.

Answer

IAS.

Question 6

True Air Speed (TAS) is equal to Equivalent Air Speed (EAS) only if:

Accepted Answer

P = 1013,25 hPa and OAT = 15°

Answer

P = 1013,25 hPa, OAT = 15°C and TAS > 200 kt.

Answer

P = 1013,25 hPa and OAT = 273° K.

Answer

P = 1013,25 hPa, OAT = 15°C and TAS < 200 kt.

Question 7

Given:E = electromotive force (emf) Tc = cold junction temperature Th = hot junction temperature K = constantThe relationship that applies to a thermocouple is:

Accepted Answer

E = K x Th

Answer

E = K x Tc2

Answer

E = K x Th2

Answer

E = K x Tc

Question 8

The deviation of the magnetic compass is due to the action of:

Accepted Answer

The soft iron pieces influenced by the geomagnetic field

Answer

The hard iron pieces influenced by the geomagnetic field

Answer

The hard iron pieces and the soft iron pieces influenced by the hard iron pieces

Answer

The hard iron pieces influenced by the mild iron pieces
