Question 1

Which statement about hover out of ground effect is correct?

Accepted Answer

It requires more power than hovering in ground effect.

Answer

It always requires less power than IGE hover.

Answer

It is possible at any mass and temperature.

Answer

It is unaffected by altitude.

Question 2

Basic empty mass is 640 kg, occupants are 90 kg and 78 kg, usable fuel for departure is 50 kg and MTOM is 890 kg. Is the mass within limits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the calculated take-off mass is within the limit.

Answer

Yes, because fuel is not included in take-off mass.

Answer

No, because passenger mass is never included in take-off mass.

Answer

The result cannot be assessed because empty mass is irrelevant.

Question 3

Basic empty mass is 685 kg, occupants are 75 kg and 82 kg, usable fuel for departure is 40 kg and MTOM is 900 kg. Is the mass within limits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the calculated take-off mass is within the limit.

Answer

Yes, because fuel is not included in take-off mass.

Answer

No, because passenger mass is never included in take-off mass.

Answer

The result cannot be assessed because empty mass is irrelevant.

Question 4

For the purpose of a flight preparation the pilot calculates a total take-off mass of 725 kg and a total moment of 650 mmkg. Which cross marks the centre of gravity (CG)? Use figure (PFP-004)

Question 5

A helicopter burns 30 l/h. Planned flight time is 70 minutes and required reserve is 20 l. What minimum fuel should be planned?

Accepted Answer

55 l

Answer

35 l

Answer

45 l

Answer

63 l

Question 6

What needs to be done to compensate a tail-heavy centre of gravity in a helicopter?

Accepted Answer

Add additional load in the front of the helicopter cabin

Answer

Remove all unnecessary attachment parts and covers

Answer

Remove unneeded equipment from the cockpit

Answer

Add additional fuel to the fuel tank behind the main rotor mast

Question 7

What needs to be observed if the carburettor heat is applied in a hover?

Accepted Answer

Loss of power

Answer

Gain of power

Answer

Reduction of pre-ignition

Answer

Increase of rotor rpm

Question 8

Given values: Calculated take-off mass = 746 kg calculated CG = 37.1 cm fuel burn = 30.5 l on station 45 cm. Where is the CG situated after the landing?

Accepted Answer

36.9 cm

Answer

37.5 cm

Answer

36.3 cm

Answer

37.2 cm

Question 9

The basic empty mass of an aircraft includes...

Accepted Answer

The mass of the aircraft plus standard items such as unusable fuel and other unusable liquids, lubricating oil in engine and auxiliary units, fire extinguishers, pyrotechnics, emergency oxygen equipment, supplementary electronic equipment.

Answer

The total mass of the aircraft ready for a specific type of operation including crew, navigation instruments and engine cowling.

Answer

The total mass of an aircraft ready for a specific type of operation including the required fuel and crew, but excluding traffic load.

Answer

The total mass of the aircraft ready for a specific type of operation excluding unusable fuel and traffic load. The mass includes items such as crew and crew baggage.

Question 10

Which statement about lateral centre of gravity is correct?

Accepted Answer

It is important in helicopters because asymmetric loading can affect control margins.

Answer

It is relevant only to gliders.

Answer

It is ignored when fuel is full.

Answer

It is controlled by ATC clearance.
