CPAER Canada Commercial Pilot Exam
1. How Long is Cat 3 Medical Exam Good for if over 40 <Ans>2 years
2. Does a CAT 1 Medical time period start on the Exam date or Issuance
date <Ans>Exam Date
3. A Pilot Proficiency Check (PPC) and are very simi-
lar. Except a PPC may be required for IFR currency requirements. <Ans>
Competency Check
4. What is the difference between an AOC and a COA <Ans>AOC= Air Operator's
Certificate
COA= Certifcate of Airworthiness
5. Maximum Air Speed Rules are always in what type of Airspeed
<Ans>Indicated Knots (KIAS)
6. When flying from a altimeter setting region to a Standard Pressure Region
you should set your altimeter to 29.92 just entering the SPR
<Ans> After
7. What is the main difference between a reportable aviation incident and
accident <Ans>a Reportable aviation Incident does not apply to small aircraft (>
5,700 kg). It covers emergencies (fire, going off runway, Control issues) that could
have resulted in a major accident.
8. Pilots operating at an uncontrolled Aerodrome at which no ground station
exists or frequency is published should broadcast on <Ans> 123.2
9. When is refueling of an air taxi flight not permitted with passengers on
board <Ans>When the pilot-in-command is not available to monitor the fueling
10. how many hours can a flight crew log in a 24 hour period? If the pilot is
,single engine IFR how many hours can be logged <Ans>14 and 8
11. When should you carry a journey Log on an Aircraft <Ans>At all times unless
the aircraft will not land and shutdown at another location.
12. When penetrating the ADIZ ETA must be within minutes and
NMs. <Ans> 5 20
13. In a carburetor the fuel to air ratio is governed by... <Ans> Mass (or weight)
14. What happens to the Fuel/Air ratio when Carb heat is applied? As a result
what should you do for prolong carb heat usage. <Ans> Air is warmer therefore
less dense so you should lean the mixture for prolong use of Carb heat.
15. What happens to an engine when fuel is not leaned at high altitudes
<Ans>the fuel to air mixture becomes too rich this results in a drop of RPMs and
spark plugs may foul. This will also result an more fuel used than calculated as per
the POH.
16. What happens when you lean the mixture at cursing altitude <Ans>You
are decreasing the amount of fuel to air ratio to compensate for the less dense air at
higher altitudes.
17. When Carb heat is applied what happens to the fuel to air ratio <Ans>The
fuel gets richer because the air becomes less dense.
,18. As the Angle of attack is increased what happens to lift and induced
drag <Ans>They both increase.
19. The First Symptom of Carburetor icing is
a. Engine Roughness
b. RPM decrease <Ans> b
20. A turbo Charger is powered by and a supercharger
is powered by <Ans> Exhaust gases, internally driven
compressor powered by the engine.
21. If the pitot tube and its drain becomes blocked What would the Airspeed
indicator do <Ans>Act like a VSI or altimeter
22. If a pitot tube becomes blocked but the drain remains clear what will the
Airspeed indicator do <Ans>This is a partial block which will allow the dynamic
pressure to slowly leak out. In this case the ASI will decrease to 0
23. What will happen to the Airspeed indicator if the static port gets blocked?-
<Ans> It will under-read more and more as you climb and over read more and more
as you descend.
24. What will happen to the altimeter if the static port gets blocked <Ans>It
will freeze on the last altitude before blockage
25. Where can you find the CRFI recommended value for a specific cross- wind
<Ans>Under that specific crosswind in the Chart titled Crosswind limits for CRFI
26. What is a trough and how is it depicted on a GFA <Ans>It is an elongated are
of low pressure and is shown as a single purple line.
27. What does a double purple line indicate on a GFA <Ans>an upper air trough.
28. What is the difference between a trowal and a trough and how is each
depicted on a GFA <Ans>A Trowal (or an occluded front) occurs when cold air
, catches up with warm air. It is shown on the GFA as zipper cold and warm front. A
trough is an elongated area of low pressure. It is shown on the GFA as a single purple
line.
29. You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 30.12. Along the route
while level at 5,000 you check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.02.What
altitude are you actually at <Ans>4,900
30. You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 29.80. Along the route
while level at 5,000 you check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.00.What
altitude are you actually at <Ans>5,200
31. Define dew point <Ans> The temperature to which air must be cooled at a
constant pressure to becomes saturated.
32. How do you estimate the base height of a cloud using the dew point and
temperature <Ans>Temperature - Dew point (Dew point spread) x 400.
