The air-ground frequency in use at the time

Answer

The regional guard frequency

Answer

The international emergency frequency

Answer

Any frequency at pilot's discretion

Question 2

The lift- and drag forces, acting on a wing cross section:

Accepted Answer

Depend on the pressure distribution about the wing cross section

Answer

Are normal to each other at just one angle of attack

Answer

Vary linearly with the angle of attack

Answer

Are proportional to each other, independent of angle of attack

Question 5

A CSD of an AC generator may be disconnected in flight. The primary reason(s) for disconnection are:

Accepted Answer

Low oil pressure and/or high oil temperature of the generator drive.

Answer

Slight variation about the normal operating frequency.

Answer

Illumination of the CSD disconnect warning light.

Answer

Excessive variation of voltage and kVAR.

Question 6

An aircraft at FL310, M0.83, temperature -30°C, is required to reduce speed in order to cross a reporting point five minutes later than planned. Assuming that a zero wind component remains unchanged, when 360 NM from the reporting point Mach Number should be reduced to:

Accepted Answer

M0.74

Answer

M0.76

Answer

M0.80

Answer

M0.78

Question 7

The Maximum Zero Fuel Mass is the mass of the aeroplane with no usable fuel on board. It is a limitation which is:

Accepted Answer

Listed in the Flight Manual as a fixed value. It is a structural limit.

Answer

Governed by the requirements of the centre of gravity limits and the structural limits of the aeroplane.

Answer

Tabulated in the Flight Manual against arguments of airfield elevation and temperature.

Answer

Governed by the traffic load to be carried. It also provides protection from excessive 'wing bending'.

Question 8

Signal reception is required from a minimum number of satellites that have adequate elevation and suitable geometry in order for a Satellite-Assisted Navigation System (GNSS/GPS) to carry out independent three dimensional operation, Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) and to isolate any faulty satellite and remove it from contributing to the navigation solution. The number of satellites is:
