2026) WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
What is the maximum flight duty time for a pilot on call? -
ANSWERS_100 hours in 30 days
In order to fly IFR, the pitot-static system must have been calibrated
with in the last: - ANSWERS_24 months
Whos duty is it to report "unforeseen operation circumstances" to the
Minister? - ANSWERS_The air operator ASAP
When Operating an aircraft above FL250 in a pressurized aircraft in
an air transport service; the aircraft must carry sufficient oxygen to
supply the crew for a minimum of how many hours? - ANSWERS_2
When does the Pilot at the controls have to wear an oxygen mask? -
ANSWERS_1) At all times while operating at cabin altitudes above
13,000'
2) if not equipped with quick donning masks and operated above
FL250
3) Regardless of mask type, when operating above FL410
What is the maximum holding speed of a propeller driven aircraft? -
ANSWERS_175 KIAS
A passenger oxygen briefing must be completed prior to passing what
altitude in a pressurized aircraft? - ANSWERS_FL250
,How long must an air operator hold on to pilot training records? -
ANSWERS_At least 3 years
What is the rule for operating with an inoperative FDR?
and for an inoperative CVR? - ANSWERS_Both Conditions are
based on having no MEL
1) Maximum 90 days after the failure of the CVR and the FDR must
be operative
2) Maximum of 90 days after the failure of the FDR and the CVR
must be operative
In terms of controlled rest on the flight deck, when should all flight
crew members be awake? - ANSWERS_30 minutes before descent
for landing into an aerodrome
What is an MEL based off of? - ANSWERS_The Master MEL and
the Procedures Manual for the aircraft
What time of fire warning system depends on the rate of temperature
rise and will not give a warning when an engine slowly overheats or a
short circuit develops? - ANSWERS_A Thermocouple System
After landing, the prevents outside air pressure from exceeding
cabin air pressure - ANSWERS_Negative Pressure Release Valves
,And/or
Cabin Safety Valves
And/or
Outflow Valves
An Aircraft is cruising at 100 knots and it creating 1,000 pounds of
drag. If the angle of attack remains constant but airspeed is increased
to 200 knots than what would total drag be? - ANSWERS_4,000
pounds
Drag is proportional to Velocity Squared so if speed doubles, then
drag is 2 (double the speed) squared
2^2 = 4
4 x 1,000 = 4,000 pounds
Induced drag remains the same because the angle of attack has not
changed
For questions like these, take the amount the speed changes by (i.e.
for double its 2, for triple its 3, etc) and square it. Times that number
by original drag.
Parasite Drag is directly: - ANSWERS_Proportional to the square of
velocity
, What is a design feature of an aircraft that helps improve the
Longitudinal Stability? - ANSWERS_Placing the Center of Gravity
forward of the Center of Pressure
Vra is defined as: - ANSWERS_Maximum Speed for Rough Air
To obtain maximum range in constant wind conditions, the pilot of a
turbojet at cruise altitude should: - ANSWERS_Gradually Reduce
speed with fuel burn off.
Reduce speed until flying slower than the speed for minimum drag
What corrective actions are required so as to avoid a roll upset if
severe icing conditions are inadvertently encountered? -
ANSWERS_Disengage the Autopilot
Increase the Airspeed
Leave the flaps unchanged
What is the Equation for Grid Heading? - ANSWERS_Grid Heading
= Longitude Position + True Heading
i.e.
Longitude = 114° W
True Heading = 100°
114 + 100 = 214 Grid Heading
