AVIA 340 TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔Every second, a large transport category airplane collects data on the flight. This
data is then downloaded and used to determine why pilots stressed an airplane beyond
limits or flew to fast or did not complete checklists on time. The program used to collect
this data for compliance is - ✔✔None of the above
✔✔When considering a turboprop airplane, the feathered position is when the lowest
pitch is obtained. - ✔✔False
✔✔A failure of the bleed air system is usually an emergency and is taken care of with
emergency memory items that require action before a checklist is referred to. - ✔✔True
✔✔Most airline checklists are a combination of flow checks and challenge-response
checklists. - ✔✔True
✔✔Unless there is an emergency, the maximum operating altitude OF THE CABIN can
be while operating as a Part 135 of 121 operation is - ✔✔10,000ft
✔✔In terms of cost indexing, an example of a variable cost is - ✔✔fuel
✔✔Oxygen is inserted into space inside the fuel tank so that it becomes non-flammable.
- ✔✔False
✔✔What is the role of the Pilot Flying? - ✔✔Maintain safe control of the aircraft
✔✔A Boeing 737 landing gear can be hand pumped into a retracted (up) position? -
✔✔False
✔✔When flying at high altitudes at an airspeed of Va, a pilot encounters mountain
waves, in theory the pilot should be able to make full control inputs using the rudder,
, ailerons, and elevator and the airplane should stall before it breaks up (fails)? -
✔✔False
✔✔__________ lights are always _________ and generally refer action to serious
systems malfunction that require crew action as soon as time permits but do not require
emergency action. - ✔✔Caution; Yellow
✔✔When a red light illuminates on the glare shield, what is the first action that must be
taken by the pilot(s)? - ✔✔Perform the required emergency memory/action items
✔✔Which answer best describes EVAS (Environment Vision Assistance System)? -
✔✔An inflatable pocket of air used to provide vision of the necessary instruments in an
emergency situation
✔✔The initial goal of CRM was to reduce accidents and incidents related to pilot error. -
✔✔True
✔✔GUMPS (the before landing checklist) is best identified as a - ✔✔Flow Check
✔✔ The Nitrogen Generating System (NGS) does what? - ✔✔All of the above. (Pumps
bleed air through fibers to make pure nitrogen, Causes the fuel tank to become inert,
Prevents fuel from vaporizing in the tanks)
✔✔What is commonly used in aircraft engines to detect fires? - ✔✔fire loops
✔✔This type of fire is most associated with electrical fires? - ✔✔Type C
✔✔How is the landing gear of a King Air 200 actuated (put into motion or action;
actually moved)? - ✔✔Hydraulically
✔✔Below 10,000ft, if you are unable to fly slower than the maximum 250 kts due to the
aircrafts minimum safe airspeed, what do you do? - ✔✔Fly your minimum safe airspeed
that is the new maximum
✔✔turbulent air penetration speed - ✔✔Vb
✔✔maneuvering speed - ✔✔Va
✔✔Which FAA safety program uses trained observers to collect data about pilot
behavior in the flight deck? - ✔✔Line Operations Safety Assessment (LOSA)
✔✔An electromechanical checklist is a type of scroll checklist where the pilot scrolls
past each task after completion - ✔✔False
