Answer

If no maintenance organisation is around.

Answer

When a GPS with speed indication is used during flight.

Answer

If only aerodrome patterns are flown.

Question 4

The vertical speed indicator measures the difference of pressure between...

Accepted Answer

The present static pressure and the static pressure of a previous moment.

Answer

The present total pressure and the total pressure of a previous moment.

Answer

The present dynamic pressure and the dynamic pressure of a previous moment.

Answer

The present dynamic pressure and the static pressure of a previous moment.

Question 5

Which statement about transparent windscreens is correct?

Accepted Answer

cleaning should use approved materials to avoid scratches or crazing.

Answer

They require no inspection once installed.

Answer

They may be repaired with household adhesive.

Question 6

The advance angle is the angle between the...

Accepted Answer

Circumferential control rod and rotor blade longitudinal axis.

Answer

Advancing rotor blade and retreating rotor blade.

Answer

Fixed control rod and lower scissors.

Answer

Delta-three-flapping hinge and rotor blade longitudinal axis.

Question 7

Why is the main rotor gearbox a limiting factor in most piston-driven helicopters?

Accepted Answer

The gear wheels will be displaced from each other at high torque and strain the gearbox bearings

Answer

The electronic monitoring of the gearbox reacts susceptible at high torques

Answer

The drive shaft in the gearbox is made of solid material and tends to break at high torques

Answer

The supply of oil pressure lubrication in the gearbox is constructed on average loads

Question 8
