Operational Procedure - PPL(A) - Private Pilot License

Question 1

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 2

What should be the first action in case of a cable fire during a flight?

Accepted Answer

Turn off the master switch

Answer

Close the fuel valve

Answer

Open the windows

Answer

Open cabin ventialtion

Question 3

After lift-off, a much stronger than expected airspeed rise is experienced during the initial climb phase. What may be expected if the aeroplane entered a microburst?

Accepted Answer

A decreased climb rate and airspeed

Answer

An increased climb rate and decreased airspeed

Answer

An increased climb rate and airspeed

Answer

A decreased climb rate and increased airspeed

Question 4

Which danger exists during engine start?

Accepted Answer

Carburettor fire

Answer

Cable fire

Answer

Sparking

Answer

Smoke emission

Question 5

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 6

How should a landing on a contaminated runway be conducted if it proves to be inevitable?

Accepted Answer

Approach with the minimum crosswind component possible, use maximum flaps, touch down firmly with minimum speed, brake carefully

Answer

Approach with the minimum crosswind component possible, use minimum flaps, touch down softly with positive pitch and minimum speed, do not apply brakes

Answer

Approach with the minimum crosswind component possible, use maximum flaps, touch down with negative pitch and minimum speed, brake carefully

Answer

Approach with the minimum crosswind component possible, use minimum flaps, touch down softly with minimum speed, do not apply brakes

Question 7

Which kind of engine is susceptible to carburettor fire?

Accepted Answer

Piston engines

Answer

Turbine engines

Answer

Electric motors

Answer

Turboprop engines

Question 8

When do you expect wind shear?

Accepted Answer

During an inversion

Answer

In calm wind in cold weather

Answer

During a summer day with calm winds

Answer

When passing a warm front

Question 9

Which method is appropriate to approach an unprepared landing field?

Accepted Answer

Terrain investigation to determine approach points and landing

Answer

Flat direct approach to ensure visual ground contact

Answer

Steep approach to keep the noise level low

Answer

Fast approach, performance check, and landing within a quick stop

Question 10

Why is it dangerous to pump the throttle for engine start in cold weather?

Accepted Answer

It may cause a carburettor fire

Answer

Carburettor icing can occur

Answer

The engine might start with not enough power

Answer

The oil will become diluted
