Question 1

How may windshear be recognised in flight?

Accepted Answer

Sudden and apparently baseless change in altitude, airspeed, rate of climb or descent.

Answer

Sudden and apparently baseless change of oilpressure, oil temperature, engine speed and altitude.

Answer

Sudden and apparently baseless change in heading, turning rate, engine speed or oil temperature.

Answer

Rather unexpected onset of drizzle associated with high stratus clouds following previously clear skies and calm conditions.

Question 2

Which danger exists during engine start?

Accepted Answer

Carburettor fire

Answer

Sparking

Answer

Cable fire

Answer

Smoke emission

Question 3

After lift-off, a much stronger than expected airspeed rise is experienced during the initial climb phase. What may be expected if the aeroplane entered a microburst?

Accepted Answer

A decreased climb rate and airspeed

Answer

An increased climb rate and decreased airspeed

Answer

A decreased climb rate and increased airspeed

Answer

An increased climb rate and airspeed

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Path is higher, IAS increases

Answer

Path is lower, IAS increases

Answer

Path is higher, IAS decreases

Answer

Path is lower, IAS decreases

Question 5

An autorotation in a mountainous area is performed:

Accepted Answer

Upslope without any yawing.

Answer

Downwind under obstacles observance.

Answer

Downslope with inclined rotor.

Answer

Upwind and across the slope.

Question 6

Why is it dangerous to pump the throttle for engine start in cold weather?

Accepted Answer

It may cause a carburettor fire

Answer

Carburettor icing can occur

Answer

The oil will become diluted

Answer

The engine might start with not enough power

Question 7

How can a wind shear encounter in flight be avoided?

Accepted Answer

Avoid take-off and landing during the passage of heavy showers or thunderstorms

Answer

Avoid take-offs and landings in mountainous terrain and stay in flat country whenever possible

Answer

Avoid thermally active areas, particularly during summer, or stay below these areas

Answer

Avoid areas of precipitation, particularly during winter, and choose low flight altitudes

Question 8

What should be considered regarding a scheduled flight over water, when land cannot be reached in case of an emergency landing?

Accepted Answer

For all passengers there must be life jackets or lifeboats present

Answer

The flight plan has to contain the exact waypoints

Answer

Contact to the nearest ATC shall consist during the whole flight

Answer

Transponder code 7600 has to be set during the whole flight

Question 9

Which items should a passenger briefing in case of an imminent emergency landing include?

Accepted Answer

Nature of the emergency, intentions, safety position, evacuation routes, actions after landing

Answer

Blood type of the other aircraft occupants, location of the first-aid kit

Answer

How to work the aircraft radio, emergency transponder squawk, telephone number of the competent search and rescue (SAR) center

Answer

How to read an emergency checklist, how to cut the engine, telephone number of the home airport

Question 10

A wind shear is...

Accepted Answer

A vertical or horizontal change of wind speed and wind direction.

Answer

A wind speed change of more than 15 kt.

Answer

A meteorological downslope wind phenomenon in the alps.

Answer

A slow increase of the wind speed in altitudes above 13000 ft.
