Question 1

Which instrument can be affected by the hysteresis error?

Accepted Answer

Altimeter

Answer

Direct reading compass

Answer

Vertical speed indicator

Answer

Tachometre

Question 2

What is a likely consequence of magnetic material near the compass?

Accepted Answer

compass deviation may increase.

Answer

The altimeter automatically resets to standard pressure.

Answer

The aircraft becomes exempt from maintenance requirements.

Answer

The transponder changes to emergency code automatically.

Question 3

The primer is...

Accepted Answer

An auxiliary pump in the fuel system to facilitate engine starting.

Answer

A nozzle in the Venturi tube of a carburettor for atomising the fuel.

Answer

A mechanical switch in the cockpit to engage the turbocharger.

Answer

A valve in the fuel control system for automatic mixture regulation.

Question 4

QFE is the...

Accepted Answer

Barometric pressure at a reference datum, typically the runway threshold of an aerodrome.

Answer

Barometric pressure adjusted to sea level, using the international standard atmosphere (ISA).

Answer

Magnetic bearing to a station.

Answer

Altitude above the reference pressure level 1013.25 hPa.

Question 5

Why is battery condition important for a PPL(H) flight?

Accepted Answer

It affects starting capability and emergency electrical endurance.

Answer

It is relevant only to airline transport operations.

Answer

It can be ignored when the flight remains local.

Answer

It is replaced by passenger preference.

Question 6

Which cockpit instruments are connected to the static port?

Accepted Answer

Altimeter, vertical speed indicator, airspeed indicator

Answer

Airspeed indicator, direct-reading compass, slip indicator

Answer

Altimeter, slip indicator, navigational computer

Answer

Airspeed indicator, altimeter, direct-reading compass

Question 7

What is the unit for electrical power?

Accepted Answer

Watt

Answer

Ampere

Answer

Volt

Answer

Ohm

Question 8

The droop stop...

Accepted Answer

Reduces the risk of rotor blade contact with the tail boom at low rotor RPM.

Answer

Limits blade flapping and prevents rotor blade stall.

Answer

Decreases the bending and tensional loads on the rotor blades in all flight conditions.

Answer

Allows the rotor blades to flap upwards without restrictions.

Question 9

Which part of the cycle of a four-stroke Otto engine can be seen in the attachment? Use figure (AGK-007)

Accepted Answer

First stroke - induction

Answer

Second stroke - compression

Answer

Fourth stroke - exhaust

Answer

Third stroke - power

Question 10

Lower-than-standard temperature may lead to...

Accepted Answer

An altitude indication which is too high.

Answer

A correct altitude indication as long as the altimeter subscale is set to correct for non-standard temperature.

Answer

A blockage of the Pitot tube by ice, freezing the altimeter indication to its present value.

Answer

An altitude indication which is too low.
