Emergency Operations - FAA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Airplane

Question 1

Excessively high engine temperatures, either in the air or on the ground, will

Accepted Answer

cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage

Answer

result in damage to heat-conducting hoses and warping of cylinder cooling fans

Answer

increase fuel consumption and may increase power due to the increased heat

Question 2

What effect will landing with a tailwind have during an engine-out approach and landing?

Accepted Answer

Increased landing distance

Answer

Decreased landing distance

Answer

Results in lower energy after the touchdown

Question 3

The most important rule to remember in the event of a power failure after becoming airborne is to

Accepted Answer

immediately establish the proper gliding attitude and airspeed

Answer

quickly check the fuel supply for possible fuel exhaustion

Answer

determine the wind direction to plan for the forced landing

Question 4

If the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected?

Accepted Answer

The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator

Answer

The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and turn-and-slip indicator

Answer

The altimeter, attitude indicator, and turn-and-slip indicator

Question 5

What should you do to determine that your emergency locator transmitter (ELT) hasn’t been activated?

Accepted Answer

Monitor 121.5 before engine shutdown

Answer

Turn off the aircraft ELT after landing

Answer

Ask the airport tower if they are receiving an ELT signal

Question 6

If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal operating range, the pilot may have been operating with

Accepted Answer

too much power and with the mixture set too lean

Answer

the mixture set too rich

Answer

higher-than-normal oil pressure

Question 7

Detonation occurs in a reciprocating aircraft engine when

Accepted Answer

the unburned charge in the cylinders explodes instead of burning normally

Answer

the spark plugs are fouled or shorted out or the wiring is defective

Answer

hot spots in the combustion chamber ignite the fuel/air mixture in advance of normal ignition

Question 8

When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed will

Accepted Answer

nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgment of gliding distance and landing spot

Answer

increase the chances of shock cooling the engine

Answer

assure the proper descent angle is maintained until entering the flare

Question 9

How will the wind affect your engine-out gliding distance?

Accepted Answer

A tailwind increases the gliding distance

Answer

A headwind increases your gliding distance

Answer

A tailwind decreases the gliding distance

Question 10

If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster

Accepted Answer

groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point

Answer

groundspeed at touchdown, a shorter ground roll, and the likelihood of undershooting the desired touchdown point

Answer

airspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and better control throughout the landing roll
