CPAER CANADA COMMERCIAL PILOT 2026 EXAM
STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔With respect to carrying passengers at night or IFR in a SEL what are the
regulations. - ✔✔1. Unless otherwise authorized (eg. Single Engine Turbine) no
passengers shall be carried aboard a single engine airplane and night or IFR.
2. For night VFR in a single engine airplane, the pilot must be IFR Rated.
✔✔At an uncontrolled Aerodrome how must one join the circuit? - ✔✔1. From upwind
side of aerodrome, cross mid-field, join at circuit height at downwind leg
2. Straight in on downwind leg.
✔✔When is a flight plan or Flight itinerary required. - ✔✔1. When flying more than 25
NM from aerodrome
2. When flying to/from a military aerodrome
3. When flying to the united states from Canada (Flight Plan only)
✔✔Whom is responsible for ensuring that a crew member does not exceed the
maximum flight/duty times? - ✔✔The Air Carrier and Pilot
✔✔Are the minimum number of Flight Attendants rules? - ✔✔1. One attendant per 50
Paxs
2. No Flight Attendant required if for AC that seat 13-19 paxs if
a. AC has a PIC and SIC
b. Pax cabin is readily Accessible from flight Deck
c. Flight Crew can supervise Paxs
✔✔What is the Labrador Current - ✔✔It's a very cold ocean current in the North Atlantic
which causes fog over the eastern provinces when it meets warm tropical golf stream
air in the winter. This fog is present for over 200 days year.
✔✔When is Wind shear most common - ✔✔1. Frontal Activity (w strong wind gradients,
or surface temperature differences across surface)
2. Thunderstorms (Vertical)
3. Temperature inversions (Horizontal), Low Level Jets are particularly dangerous
4. Surface Obstructions (Airports near water but protected by trees).
✔✔If there is no indication of winds on a GFA, then the winds will be less than ______
kts - ✔✔20
✔✔Given: TAF CYQR 221630Z 221705
1. What time was the TAF issued?
2. What is the validity time range? - ✔✔1. 22nd day of the month, 1630Z
2. valid from 22nd day at 1700Z to 23rd day 0500z
, ✔✔In the ICG TB GFA, is Icing locations only shown within the Map portion? - ✔✔No,
the comment section will provide more icing locations.
✔✔What is the formula for VHF range? - ✔✔1.25 X SQRT of height
✔✔Which wing stalls first in a climbing turn? - ✔✔The higher wing
✔✔Which wing stalls first in a a descending turn? - ✔✔the low wing.
✔✔As an aircraft approach a stall, the center of pressure moves ____________ then
after the stall moves ____________ - ✔✔Forward, Reward
✔✔What is the major difference between a variable pitch propeller and a constant
speed propeller? - ✔✔Both a variable pitch propeller and a constant speed propeller
can have the angle of the blade adjusted for each phase of flight. However, the variable
pitch propeller's RPM vary the same as a fixed propeller.
✔✔When a hydraulic variable pitch propeller loses oil pressure what happens to the
pitch of the propeller? - ✔✔Moves to full fine
✔✔What is the best way to prevent condensation in fuel tanks? - ✔✔Fill each tank after
every flight.
✔✔Is a spark required to ignite fuel in a diesel engine? Why? - ✔✔No fuel is ignited by
Compression?
✔✔In a constant speed propeller engine Aircraft, what is an indication of carburetor
icing? - ✔✔Loss of airspeed and drop in manifold pressure.
✔✔the 14 to 1 Fuel/Air mixture for optimal power is the weight of the fuel entering the
_____________ - ✔✔Cylinder
✔✔Many Ultra aircraft use a _____________ stroke engine - ✔✔2
✔✔No RPM drop during a mag check could be an indication of a broken
__________________ - ✔✔P-lead
✔✔What is one benefit of having a slightly Richer mixture? - ✔✔It can help keep the
engine cooler during high power operations.
✔✔What are four negative outcomes from using too lean of a mixture? - ✔✔1. Rough
Engine Operation
