1. Jet airliners like the 737 or A320 have swept wings. The reason for this sweepback is
To reduce drag at the design cruise mach number
2
A jet aeroplane equipped with inboard and outboard ailerons is cruising at its normal cruise mach number. In this case:
Only the inboard ailerons are active
3
Some modern airliners are fitted with slotted flaps. The purpose of these slots is to
Re-energise the upper surface airflow to prevent flow separation at high angles of attack
4
Dutch roll at high altitude is prevented in modern airliners by
Automatically decreasing the rudder authority above 250kts IAS
5
An aircraft has two certified landing flaps positions, 25° and 35°. If a pilot chooses 25° instead of 35°, the aircraft will have:
An increased landing distance and better go-around performance
6
When calculating takeoff speeds
Vmcg should be less than or equal to V1
7
On the runway taking off in a strong crosswind from the right a swept wing jet airliner will tend to
Yaw (weathervane) to the right
8
Immediately after takeoff in a swept wing airliner such as the 737 the left engine fails. The aircraft will tend to
Yaw left and roll left
9
After landing in rain on a runway promulgated as 'Slippery when wet' your aircraft starts to diverge from the runway centreline. What action do you take to stop the drift?
Cancel reverse thrust
10
After landing on a dry runway which is the most effective retardation device?
The antiskid brakes
11
Considering subsonic incompressible airflow through a Venturi, which statements are correct or incorrect? 1. The static pressure in the throat is lower than in the undisturbed airflow. 2. The speed of the airflow in the throat is lower than in the undisturbed airflow.
(1) is correct, (2) is incorrect
12
The use of high pressure bleed air from the compressor for anti-icing will
Increase fuel consumption
13
Engine icing is most likely to occur
When visible moisture is present and the total air temperature is 10 degrees or below
14
Ice contamination of the wing upper and lower surface may cause
A reduction in stall margins and possible poor lateral control on takeoff
15
The symptoms of windshear may include
A significant change of airspeed, divergence from the required flight path, normal control inputs insufficient to maintain the flight path
16
An aircraft flies through the base of an active cumulonimbus cloud. The pilot might expect it to experience
A downdraft followed by an updraught and then another downdraft
17
17. Dew point is defined as:
The temperature to which moist air must be cooled to become saturated at a given pressure.
18
If no meteorological information is available for the destination, the operator must:
Select two destination alternates.
19
A pilot approaching an upslope runway:
May feel that he is higher than actual. This illusion may cause him to land short.
20
In the cruise at high altitude when flying into an area of known turbulence you would
Secure the cabin and cockpit, select turbulence speed and maintain constant attitude
21
What is the definition of Required Navigation Performance (RNP)?
A statement of the navigation performance necessary for operation within a defined airspace.
22
While in a descent under radar control you receive a TCAS resolution advisory (RA). You would
Manoeuvre following the RA guidance and advise ATC
23
Before starting the final descent on an NDB approach you would
Ensure that you are within +/-5 degrees of the inbound QDM
24
At 1700 feet on an ILS approach the GPWS sounds 'Whoop, Whoop, pull up, pull up'. Would you
Immediately go around following the standard missed approach procedure, inform ATC
25
At what distance from the stop end of the runway do the centreline lights change from red/white to red?
300m
26
Taxiway lighting consists of
Green centre line lights with blue edge lighting
27
While in the holding pattern waiting to land you notice that the total fuel in the tanks has fallen below company minimum reserves. What action should you take?
Declare an emergency and request assistance from ATC
28
Senior cabin crew member notice traces of smoke in the passenger cabin but cannot positively identify its source or origin. The aircraft commander is notified and after the relevant abnormal checklist has been completed, his/her action will normally be to:
Activate the passenger oxygen system and proceed to the nearest alternate aerodrome.
29
At 900 feet on a manually flown ILS approach you notice the handling pilot has let the aircraft drop below the glidepath. Would you
Verbally warn the handling pilot, monitor the response and look for a correction
30
When dealing with a complex emergency the first officer should
Try to discuss with the captain any orders that are unclear or confusing
