Accepted Answer

Wake turbulence on or near the runway.

Answer

Wake turbulence rotate faster and higher.

Answer

Wake turbulence twisting transverse to the runway.

Answer

Wake turbulence is amplified and distorted.

Answer

Turn off the master switch

Answer

Shut down the engine

Answer

Question 5

During an approach the aeroplane experiences a windshear with a decreasing headwind. If the pilot does not make any corrections, how do the approach path and the indicated airspeed (IAS) change?

Accepted Answer

Path is lower, IAS decreases

Answer

Path is lower, IAS increases

Answer

Path is higher, IAS increases

Answer

Path is higher, IAS decreases

Question 6

Wake turbulence is particularly strong...

Answer

The aeroplane flies above the estimated climb path.

Answer
