Question 3

In which phase of flight must the carburettor heating be switched off although carburettor icing might be expected?

Accepted Answer

During take-off

Answer

During cruise

Answer

During taxi

Answer

During climb

Question 4

In which way may an altimeter subscale which is set to an incorrect QNH lead to an incorrect altimeter reading?

Accepted Answer

If the subscale is set to a higher than actual pressure, the indication is too high. This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended

Answer

If the subscale is set to a lower than actual pressure, the indication is too high. This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended

Answer

If the subscale is set to a lower than actual pressure, the indication is too low. This may lead to much closer proximity to the ground than intended

Answer

If the subscale is set to a higher than actual pressure, the indication is too low. This may lead to much greater heights above the ground than intended

Question 5

A true altitude is...

Accepted Answer

An altitude above mean sea level corrected for non-standard temperature.

Answer

A pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature.

Answer

A height above ground level corrected for non-standard temperature.

Answer

A height above ground level corrected for non-standard pressure.

Question 6

The load factor "n" describes the relationship between...

Accepted Answer

Lift and weight.

Answer

Drag and lift.

Answer

Thrust and drag.

Answer

Weight and thrust.

Question 7

An attitude director indicator (ADI) combines the information provided by...

Accepted Answer

The attitude indicator and the flight director.

Answer

The attitude indicator and the relative bearing indicator.

Answer

The directional gyro and the rate gyro.

Answer

The attitude indicator and the radio magnetic indicator.

Question 8

The trim is used to...

Accepted Answer

Adapt the control force.

Answer

Lock control elements.

Answer

Move the centre of gravity.

Answer

Accepted Answer

First stroke - induction

Answer

Second stroke - compression

Answer

Fourth stroke - exhaust
