Principles of Flight (Helicopter) - PPL(H) - Private Pilot License

Question 1

Which statement about VNE is correct?

Accepted Answer

It is the never-exceed speed and must not be exceeded.

Answer

It is a recommended minimum hover speed.

Answer

It is the same as best endurance speed.

Answer

It applies only to ATC clearances.

Question 2

Why is disc loading important for a PPL(H) flight?

Accepted Answer

It affects induced velocity and hover power required.

Answer

It is relevant only to airline transport operations.

Answer

It can be ignored when the flight remains local.

Answer

It is replaced by passenger preference.

Question 3

Which landing site (no wind) prevents the impairment of the ground effect?

Accepted Answer

Plain terrain

Answer

Narrow forest glade

Answer

Elevated helipad

Answer

Sloping ground

Question 4

Vx is the speed...

Accepted Answer

For the best angle of climb

Answer

For the best rate of climb

Answer

To rotate

Answer

Never to be exceeded

Question 5

Which statement about torque reaction is correct?

Accepted Answer

The fuselage tends to rotate opposite to main rotor torque unless balanced.

Answer

It is a GPS position error.

Answer

It affects only gliders.

Answer

It is eliminated by changing QNH.

Question 6

Why is driven region of the rotor important for a PPL(H) flight?

Accepted Answer

It consumes energy to produce lift.

Answer

It is relevant only to airline transport operations.

Answer

It can be ignored when the flight remains local.

Answer

It is replaced by passenger preference.

Question 7

Which statement about rotor RPM decay is correct?

Accepted Answer

It can reduce lift and control margin and must be corrected promptly.

Answer

It increases lift indefinitely.

Answer

It is corrected by raising collective in every case.

Answer

It is unrelated to safety.

Question 8

Which statement about cyclic pitch is correct?

Accepted Answer

It tilts the rotor disc to control movement around pitch and roll axes.

Answer

It changes all blade pitch equally.

Answer

It controls fuel flow only.

Answer

It is used only after shutdown.

Question 9

Which statement about vortex ring state is correct?

Accepted Answer

It can occur with high rate of descent, low forward speed and power applied.

Answer

It occurs only with the engine stopped.

Answer

It is prevented by increasing collective indefinitely.

Answer

It is a compass turning error.

Question 10

Which statement about the rotor disc loading in a horizontal curve is correct?

Accepted Answer

It increases with increasing bank angle

Answer

It decreases with increasing bank angle

Answer

No change in relation to the cruise flight

Answer

Effects depend on the type of helicopter
