Question 1

A helicopter burns 42 l/h. Planned flight time is 60 minutes and required reserve is 20 l. What minimum fuel should be planned?

Accepted Answer

62 l

Answer

42 l

Answer

52 l

Answer

70 l

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Which action best supports safe management of take-off power margin?

Accepted Answer

Compare the planned mass and conditions with flight manual performance data.

Answer

Delay the decision until after take-off.

Answer

Use the item only if requested by passengers.

Answer

Ignore it when the helicopter has sufficient fuel.

Question 4

The term "moment" with regard to a mass and balance calculation is referred to as...

Accepted Answer

Product of a mass and a balance arm.

Answer

Quotient of a mass and a balance arm.

Answer

Difference of a mass and a balance arm.

Answer

Sum of a mass and a balance arm.

Question 5

Why is respecting the approved centre of gravity (CG) range especially important for helicopter operations?

Accepted Answer

Because it preserves both stability and controllability of the helicopter.

Answer

Because it prevents retreating blade stall.

Answer

Because it prevents the helicopter from exceeding VNE during descent.

Answer

Because it prevents all dynamic rollover cases.

Question 6

The term "datum" with regard to a mass and balance calculation defines...

Accepted Answer

The point on the longitudinal axis of an aircraft or its extension from which the centres of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Answer

The distance from the reference plane to the centre of gravity of an aircraft.

Answer

The point on the vertical axis of an aircraft or its extension from which the centres of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Answer

The point on the lateral axis of an aircraft or its extension from which the centres of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Question 7

What is the message of the NOTAM shown below? B7938/25 NOTAMN Q) LECB/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A /000/999/3933N00244E005 A) LEPA B) 2511212200 C) 2511220500 E) RWY 24L/06R CLOSED

Answer

Runway 24L/06R at Cataluña/Barcelona (LECB) airport will be closed from November 21st 2025 2200 UTC until November 22nd 2025 0500 UTC

Question 8

Loads must be adequately secured in order to...

Accepted Answer

Avoid any centre of gravity (CG) movements.

Answer

Allow steep turns.

Answer

Prevent excessive 'g'-loading during the landing flare.

Answer

Carry extra fuel.

Question 9

Which statement about headwind for take-off is correct?

Accepted Answer

It normally improves take-off performance compared with still air.

Answer

It always reduces climb performance.

Answer

It has no effect on the rotor disc.

Answer

It makes the air less dense.

Question 10

What document contains information about the fuel consumption?

Accepted Answer

Flight manual (POH)

Answer

Mass and balance report

Answer

Log book

Answer

Airworthiness certificate
