Question 1

Why does the VNE decrease with increasing pressure altitude?

Accepted Answer

The true airspeed (TAS) increases

Answer

The groundspeed (GS) decreases

Answer

The rotor thrust exceeds the permissible structure limitations

Answer

The tail rotor effectiveness does not provide directional stability

Question 2

What needs to observed regarding ice formation during the flight?

Accepted Answer

An increase in mass and drag and a significant lift reduction

Answer

An increase in both drag and lift coefficient due to a mass increase

Answer

An increase in mass and a decrease in drag

Answer

An increase in mass and a reduced rate of descent

Question 3

What document contains information about the fuel consumption?

Accepted Answer

Flight manual (POH)

Answer

Mass and balance report

Answer

Log book

Answer

Airworthiness certificate

Question 4

Which section of the flight manual describes the power required of a helicopter in a hover?

Accepted Answer

Performance

Answer

Limitations

Answer

Normal procedures

Answer

Supplements

Question 5

What must be considered for cross-border flights?

Accepted Answer

Requires flight plans

Answer

Regular location messages

Answer

Approved exceptions

Answer

Transmission of hazard reports

Question 6

Question 7

A helicopter approach is conducted into the wind because...

Accepted Answer

This provides more control at low groundspeeds.

Answer

It reduces groundspeed and increases the landing distance.

Answer

It increases the true airspeed and decreases the landing distance.

Answer

This avoids wake turbulence near the touchdown zone.

Question 8

An aircraft must be loaded and operated in such a way that the center of gravity (CG) stays within the approved limits during all phases of flight. This is done to ensure...

Accepted Answer

Both stability and controllability of the aircraft.

Answer

That the aircraft does not exceed the maximum permissible airspeed during a descent.

Answer

That the aircraft does not stall.

Answer

That the aircraft does not tip over on its tail while it is being loaded.

Question 9

The term "maximum elevation figure" (MEF) is defined as...

Accepted Answer

The highest elevation within an area covering 30 minutes of latitude and 30 minutes of longitude plus a safety margin, rounded to the next higher 100 ft.

Answer

The highest elevation within an area covering 30 minutes of latitude and 30 minutes of longitude.

Answer

The highest elevation within an area covering 30 minutes of latitude and 30 minutes of longitude plus a safety margin of 1000 ft (305 m), rounded to the next higher 100 ft.

Answer

The highest elevation within an area covering 1 degree of latitude and 1 degree of longitude plus a safety margin, rounded to the next lower 100 ft.

Question 10

According to the aeronautical chart, Friesach/Hirt (LOKH) has a 707 m grass runway. Prevailing runway is 17 due to a surface wind of 18010KT. The required landing distance for your aircraft under present conditions is 550 m. Considering the NOTAM below ,is it safe to plan LOKH as an alternate aerodrome? See figure (PFP-026) Siehe Anlage 9

Accepted Answer

No.

Answer

Yes.

Answer

Don't know.

Answer

Maybe.
