Operational Procedure - EASA PPL(A) - Private Pilot License

Question 1

What danger does standing water on the runway pose to aircraft?

Accepted Answer

Increased rolling resistance during take-off

Answer

Decreased rolling resistance during take-off

Answer

An increase in lift

Answer

A decrease in lift

Question 2

Wake turbulence is particularly strong...

Accepted Answer

At a high aeroplane weight.

Answer

When flying with high thrust.

Answer

When flying with low thrust.

Answer

At a low aeroplane weight.

Question 3

What are the effects of wet grass on the take-off and landing distance?

Accepted Answer

Increase of the take-off distance and increase of the landing distance

Answer

Decrease of the take-off distance and increase of the landing distance

Answer

Decrease of the take-off distance and decrease of the landing distance

Answer

Increase of the take-off distance and decrease of the landing distance

Question 4

A wind shear is...

Accepted Answer

A vertical or horizontal change of wind speed and wind direction.

Answer

A slow increase of the wind speed in altitudes above 13000 ft.

Answer

A wind speed change of more than 15 kt.

Answer

A meteorological downslope wind phenomenon in the alps.

Question 5

How should departures near villages be carried out?

Accepted Answer

Villages should be circumnavigated and crossed in a sufficient altitude

Answer

Slow with a low propeller rotation speed

Answer

Low and fast between the villages

Answer

Climb and changes in direction should be done as slow as possible

Question 6

How may windshear be recognised in flight?

Accepted Answer

Sudden and apparently baseless change in altitude, airspeed, rate of climb or descent

Answer

Sudden and apparently baseless change in heading, turning rate, engine speed or oil temperature

Answer

Sudden and apparently baseless change of oilpressure, oil temperature, engine speed and altitude

Answer

Rather unexpected onset of drizzle associated with high stratus clouds following previously clear skies and calm conditions

Question 7

A light aircraft intends to land behind a commercial airliner belonging to wake turbulence category "medium" or "heavy" on a long runway. How can the wake turbulence of the commercial aircraft be avoided?

Accepted Answer

By making a steep approach and a long landing, touching down behind the touchdown point of the airliner's nose gear

Answer

By making a steep approach and a very short landing. The light aircraft should be able to stop before reaching the airliner's touchdown point

Answer

By making a shallow approach and a long landing, touching down behind the touchdown point of the airliner's nose gear

Answer

By making a shallow approach and a very short landing. The light aircraft should be able to stop before reaching the airliner's touchdown point

Question 8

Immediately after lift-off, a microburst is entered inadvertently. Which action might avoid an unintentional descent?

Accepted Answer

Set maximum power, maintain present aircraft configuration, climb at the best rate of climb speed

Answer

Set maximum power, retract landing gear and flaps, pick up speed and perform a left or a right turn in an attempt to leave the area of the microburst on the shortest way

Answer

Set maximum power, retract landing gear and flaps, increase pitch until attaining optimum climb speed

Answer

Set maximum power, maintain present aircraft configuration, pick up speed in an attempt to leave the area of the microburst as fast as possible

Question 9

An emergency landing is a landing...

Accepted Answer

Conducted in response to circumstances forcing the aircraft to land.

Answer

Conducted without power from the engine.

Answer

Conducted in an attempt to keep up safety regarding an aircraft and its occupants.

Answer

Conducted with the flaps retracted.

Question 10

What should be observed when taxiing behind a commercial airliner?

Accepted Answer

To avoid the jet blast, a minimum distance of 200 m should be maintained

Answer

To avoid wake turbulence, a minimum distance of 700 m should be maintained

Answer

To avoid the jet blast, a minimum distance of 600 m should be maintained

Answer

To avoid wake turbulence, a minimum distance of 300 m should be maintained
