7. If a pilot permits the elevator to move after tailwheel
contact when a tailwheel aircraft bounces during
landing, any resultant movement of the elevator:
a) will always be upwards, thus reducing the
subsequent bounce.
b) will always be upwards, thus increasing the
subsequent bounce.
c) will always be downwards, reducing the
subsequent bounce.
d) will always be downwards, contributing to the
subsequent bounce.
8. During flight, pilots must maintain a time reference
that is accurate to within:
a) ± 2 minutes and is powered independently of the
aircraft electrical system.
b) ± 2 minutes.
c) ± 30 seconds.
d) ± 15 seconds
9. In aircraft design, longitudinal stability can be
achieved by:
a) designing a greater incidence on the tail plane than
on the main plane.
b) designing a lesser incidence on the tail plane than
on the main plane.
c) washout on the main plane.
d) dihedral on the main plane.
10. A GNSS satellite transmits on two frequencies:
a) in order to correct for ionospheric propagation
delay of the signal.
b) in order to provide redundancy.
c) to split the data from the identification component.
d) to achieve selective availability.
MAINTENANCE
1. The FAR 23 requirement for fuel pump delivery
capability is a minimum of:
a) 125 per cent of the maximum fuel flow required by the
engine at take-off power.
b) 150 per cent of the maximum fuel flow required by the
engine at take-off power.
c) 175 per cent of the maximum fuel flow required by the
engine at take-off power.
d) 200 per cent of the maximum fuel flow required by the
engine at take-off power.
2. During starting of an engine with a Hall-effect ignition
system, a common method of retarding the spark is to:
a) initiate the spark from the leading edge of the
timing pulse.
b) initiate the spark from the trailing edge of the
timing pulse.
c) provide a second distributor cam for starting.
d) close the point gap.
3. On a turbocharged piston engine, the upper deck
pressure is the pressure of the air:
a) at the turbine inlet.
b) leaving the intercooler.
c) leaving the turbo compressor outlet.
d) in the cooling air plenum chamber above the cylinders.
4. A recent Airworthiness Bulletin (AWB 27-001 issue 3)
concerning corrosion of stainless steel control cable
fittings recommends a:
a) 15-year retirement life of fittings made from a certain
grade of stainless steel.
b) 15-year retirement life of all stainless steel or carbon
steel control cable fittings.
c) 20-year retirement life of fittings made from a certain
grade of stainless steel.
d) 20-year retirement life of all stainless steel control
cable fittings.
5. Visual inspection of control cable fittings made from
SAE-AISI 303Sc stainless steel for the defects as
outlined in AWB 27-001:
a) is a satisfactory way of inspecting provided high
magnification is used.
b) will not necessarily reveal evidence of internal inter
granular corrosion.
c) is not satisfactory, but dye penetrant inspection
is satisfactory.
d) is satisfactory in conjunction with magnetic
particle inspection.
