Operational Procedure - PPL(A) - Private Pilot License

Question 1

During an approach the aeroplane experiences a windshear with an increasing headwind. If the pilot does not make any corrections, how do the approach path and the indicated airspeed (IAS) change?

Accepted Answer

Path is higher, IAS increases

Answer

Path is higher, IAS decreases

Answer

Path is lower, IAS increases

Answer

Path is lower, IAS decreases

Question 2

How can the pilot of an an engine-driven aircraft minimise the noise emission during descent and approach?

Accepted Answer

High approach with minimum power setting, late descent, late configuration, adherence to established arrival routes

Answer

How can the pilot of an an engine-driven aircraft minimise the noise emission during descent and approach?

Answer

Descent and approach in landing configuration while maintaining a descent angle of 3°, direct approach whenever possible

Answer

Low approach with minimum power setting, late configuration and steep approach, adherence to established arrival routes

Question 3

How can a wind shear encounter in flight be avoided?

Accepted Answer

Avoid take-off and landing during the passage of heavy showers or thunderstorms

Answer

Avoid areas of precipitation, particularly during winter, and choose low flight altitudes

Answer

Avoid take-offs and landings in mountainous terrain and stay in flat country whenever possible

Answer

Avoid thermally active areas, particularly during summer, or stay below these areas

Question 4

Wake turbulence is particularly strong...

Accepted Answer

When flying at low speeds

Answer

When flying at high speeds

Answer

When flying at high altitudes

Answer

When flying at low altitudes

Question 5

Which kind of engine is susceptible to carburettor fire?

Accepted Answer

Piston engines

Answer

Turbine engines

Answer

Electric motors

Answer

Turboprop engines

Question 6

With only a slight crosswind, what is the danger at take-off after the departure of a heavy aeroplane?

Accepted Answer

Wake turbulence on or near the runway

Answer

Wake turbulence is amplified and distorted.

Answer

Wake turbulence rotate faster and higher.

Answer

Wake turbulence twisting transverse to the runway

Question 7

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

Question 8

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 9

Which danger exists after a heavy rain shower for a landing aircraft?

Accepted Answer

Longer braking distance due to aquaplaning

Answer

Displacement of the tire slip marking

Answer

Difficult flare due to glare

Answer

Decreased braking distance due to aquaplaning

Question 10

A precautionary landing is a landing...

Accepted Answer

Conducted in an attempt to sustain flight safety.

Answer

Conducted without power from the engine.

Answer

Conducted in response to circumstances forcing the aircraft to land.

Answer

Conducted with the flaps retracted.
