Question 1

The load factor "n" describes the relationship between...

Accepted Answer

Lift and weight.

Answer

Thrust and drag.

Answer

Drag and lift.

Answer

Weight and thrust.

Question 2

Static pressure is used by the...

Accepted Answer

altimeter, vertical speed indicator and airspeed indicator

Answer

magnetic compass, tachometer and ammeter

Answer

attitude indicator, heading indicator and turn coordinator

Answer

oil pressure, fuel pressure and fuel quantity gauges

Question 3

The elevator controls movement around the...

Accepted Answer

lateral axis

Answer

longitudinal axis

Answer

vertical axis

Answer

all three aircraft axes equally

Question 4

How should a power decrease be executed on a constant-speed propeller, provided that no other procedure is described in the flight manual?

Accepted Answer

1) Decrease manifold pressure 2) Decrease RPM

Answer

1) Decrease RPM 2) Decrease manifold pressure

Answer

1) Decrease manifold pressure 2) Increase RPM

Answer

1) Decrease RPM 2) Increase manifold pressure

Question 5

Phosphate-ester aviation hydraulic fluids belong to which category?

Accepted Answer

Synthetic oil

Answer

Mineral oil

Answer

Vegetable oil

Answer

Bio-oil

Question 6

What is the correct operational meaning of vacuum-driven instruments?

Accepted Answer

A vacuum failure can make associated gyro instruments unreliable

Answer

The associated attitude and heading indicators remain reliable until they stop moving completely.

Answer

The magnetic compass necessarily fails at the same time as a vacuum-driven gyro.

Answer

A normal airspeed indication proves the vacuum-driven gyros are serviceable.

Question 7

A flight level is a...

Accepted Answer

Pressure altitude.

Answer

Density altitude

Answer

Altitude above ground

Answer

True altitude.

Question 8

Which statement is correct for brake checks during taxi?

Accepted Answer

They confirm braking action and directional control before departure

Answer

They guarantee that the brakes cannot fail later in the flight.

Answer

They may be omitted whenever the engine run-up is satisfactory.

Answer

They should be performed only after the aeroplane has reached take-off speed.

Question 9

Which of the instruments listed below obtain their readings through pressure measurement?

Accepted Answer

Oil pressure gauge, fuel pressure gauge, manifold pressure gauge, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, airspeed indicator, suction gauge

Answer

Oil pressure gauge, fuel pressure gauge, fuel quantity gauge, manifold pressure gauge, differential pressure gauge, altimeter

Answer

Airspeed indicator, vertical speed indicator, altimeter, directional gyro, turn and bank coordinator, oil pressure gauge, fuel pressure gauge

Answer

Airspeed indicator, vertical speed indicator, altimeter, magnetic compass, oil pressure gauge, fuel pressure gauge

Question 10

Which statement about engine temperatures is correct for a PPL(A) pilot?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal temperatures may indicate cooling, mixture or power-setting problems

Answer

Normal oil pressure guarantees that every engine temperature is within limits.

Answer

Engine temperature limits apply only during take-off.

Answer

An excessive cylinder head temperature can always be ignored if RPM remains normal.
