DHL Interview ATPL ACTUAL EXAM
Questions Complete With Correct
Answers
\Q\.What is the VOR change over distance? - ANSWERS✔-60NM
\Q\.What is the minimum distance between parallel runways? - ANSWERS✔-915m
\Q\.what the key points of using Mode 2 for parallel runways? - ANSWERS✔-Only straight in
approaches allowed
interception angle of no more that 30 degrees
must be straight and level 1NM for localiser
must be straight and level 2NM for Glideslope
Minimum separation of 3NM on same Loc
Min separation of 2 NM on adjacent Loc
Missed approach tracks diverge by at least 30 degree
\Q\.what is the minimum time a flight plan must be filed before departure - ANSWERS✔-60
minutes
\Q\.how does a pilot create a slip or a skid and how it is indicated on the turn co-ordinator? -
ANSWERS✔-Slip - opposite rudder to direction of turn = ball will be at the same side of the turn
Skid - too much rudder in the direction of the turn = ball will be on the opposite side to the turn
,\Q\.what time must ATC clocks be within? - ANSWERS✔-30 seconds
\Q\.what are the Airspace separations rules for Class A - ANSWERS✔-IFR Only
\Q\.What are the Airspace separation rules for Class B - ANSWERS✔-IFR and VFR seperated
\Q\.What are the Airspace separation rules for Class C - ANSWERS✔-IFR separated from IFR
IFR Separated from VFR
VFR Info about VFR
Speed limited below FL100 250kts
IFR ( speed limit only on ATC instruction)
\Q\.What are the Airspace separation rules for Class D - ANSWERS✔-IFR Separated from VFR
IFR Info about VFR
VFR Info about VFR
Speed limit below FL100 250kts
\Q\.what its the difference between class D and Class E airspace for VFR - ANSWERS✔-No ATC
required
No SVFR
\Q\.What is Load Shedding - ANSWERS✔-Reducing electrical load on the system by turning of
unnecessary electrical components
\Q\.how would an artificial feel unit be connected? - ANSWERS✔-In Parallel
,otherwise if it failed it would stop the system
\Q\.what are booster pumps - ANSWERS✔-low pressure centrifugal boots that supply fuel to
the engines.
\Q\.why are booster pumps important? - ANSWERS✔-they prevent cavitation of the engine
driven pumps at high altitude.
\Q\.what is the purpose of baffle valves - ANSWERS✔-to prevent fuel flowing the the wing tips
to keep it in the centre near the pumps
\Q\.what is a feeder box - ANSWERS✔-a box arounds the booster pumps that keeps the pumps
submerged in fuel to prevent cavitation
\Q\.how do you switch off the magneto - ANSWERS✔-ground the primary circuit
\Q\.how is the twin jet fuelled - ANSWERS✔-by fuel being pumped from the fuel truck
\Q\.what type of fire extinguisher do you use on propane fire - ANSWERS✔-foam
\Q\.what is the difference between IAS and CAS (calibrated Airspeed) - ANSWERS✔-corrected
for instrument positional errors
\Q\.what is the difference between CAS and TAS (true Airspeed) - ANSWERS✔-Corrected for
changes in air Density
\Q\.when is ground effect felt? - ANSWERS✔-half the wingspan from the ground
, \Q\.what is interference drag? - ANSWERS✔-Drag caused by interaction of boundary layers at
major aircraft components
\Q\.what are high aspect ratio wings - ANSWERS✔-long thin wings
\Q\.what are low aspect ratio wings - ANSWERS✔-short fat ones
\Q\.why are all jet liners wings swept - ANSWERS✔-they are better at close to mach
\Q\.where does the Pulmonary artery pump blood to? - ANSWERS✔-the lungs
\Q\.what is reduced when someone hyper ventilates - ANSWERS✔-CO2
\Q\.how long such you void flying for after giving blood? - ANSWERS✔-24 hrs
\Q\.what percentages of accidents are caused by human error - ANSWERS✔-70%
\Q\.What is the tropopause? - ANSWERS✔-The boundary between the troposphere and the
stratosphere.
Where temp no longer increases with height
\Q\.what does the air need to be at the summit of a mountain to cause mountain waves? -
ANSWERS✔-stable
