Question ID: 792

In which sections of the carburettor would icing most likely occur?

This question has been flagged as being in an exam by multiple students, give it more attention

A

Accelerator pump and main metering jet.

B

Main air bleed and main discharge nozzle.

C

Venturi and the throttle valve.

D

Float chamber and fuel inlet filter.

Explanation

Carb icing is most likely to occur where the pressure changes in the airflow, the venturi and throttle valve are most areas where pressure changes

Throttle valve... if you are wondering why this area can cause carb icing

Think of the throttle valve is partially closed, it is essentially restricting airflow and becomes a venturi

On a compass deviation correction card, the

This question has been flagged as being in an exam by multiple students, give it more attention

A

residual deviation is noted after the compass swing procedure

B

deviation compensation is noted after the compass swing procedure

C

deviation compensation is noted before the compass swing procedure

D

residual deviation is noted before the compass swing procedure

Explanation

A compass deviation card is posted in a holder near the magnetic compass, on which there is recorded the difference between the readings of the compass and the correct geomagnetic directions; these errors (deviations) are given for at least the four cardinal points; sometimes the card lists the compass bearings to be flown when it is desired to fly corresponding magnetic headings.

Question ID: 778

A DI needs aligning every 10-15 minutes or it would be out by 15° Per hour

What is the main cause of this

This question has been flagged as being in an exam by multiple students, give it more attention

A

Electromagnetic interference and mechanical friction

B

Earth Rotation

C

Aircraft changing heading constantly

D

RPM vibrations

Explanation

The DI DOES not move, it always points in the same direction relative to space, but because the earth is spinning, we need to adjust the DI to keep up with the change in earth

If you left a DI for 24 hours it would circulate a full rotation

It also proves the earth is not flat.... :)

Question ID: 772

If the QNH of an airfrield is 1002 and the airfield is 1000 feet AMSL

If our altimeter is set to 1001, what reading will it show when we touch down

This question has been flagged as being in an exam by multiple students, give it more attention

A

1000feet

B

1030feet

C

970feet

D

Not enough information to tell

Explanation

Our altimeter has been set incorrectly by 1 hpa under, and will under read by 30feet

As the QNH is 1002, if we had set it correctly our altimeter would read the elevation of the airfield upon landing

What does the Yellow line indicate

This question has been flagged as being in an exam by multiple students, give it more attention

A

VS0

B

VNE

C

VFE

D

Caution Area

Explanation

Red line = VNE - never exceed
Yellow line = Caution range, this speed we can fly in clear stable air, but any gust or turbulance could endanger the aircraft and not pulling any manouvers
Green - VNO - Normal operation range
White Arc - VFE - Flaps operating speed,
Below the white arc - VSo - stalling speed with the flaps down
Where the white arc meets green - VS1 - Stalling speed in the clean configuration
