Pre-flight Test Questions
What are the seven documents that legally must be carried on board an aircraft? - Answer-Journey
logbook
Crew licenses
Insurance
Weight and balance
Operators manual
Certificate of registration
Certificate of airworthiness
How long is the C or R valid for? - Answer-It is indefinitely valid until the aircraft is sold, permanently
withdrawn from use or destroyed
How long is the C of A valid for? - Answer-It is continuously good as long as the Annual Airworthiness
Information Report (AAIR) was completed and sent back to Transport Canada prior to the due date
What keeps the C of A valid? - Answer-The plane must not be flown over gross weight
,Regular maintenance
Airworthiness directives (ADs)
What is the definition for A.A.I.R? - Answer-Annual airworthiness Information Report
Proves the aircraft has met certain airworthiness standards set by transport Canada
List three common ways that cause the C of A to be deemed invalid - Answer-AAIR are not done
Regular maintenance (ADs - airworthiness directives)
Flown over gross weight
Where do you check to see when the last maintenance inspection was done on an aircraft? - Answer-
Journey logbook
Top right corner of the AAIR
Are there any Canadian aircraft still required a radio license? If so, what type? - Answer-No - In Canada
and the US
Outside of the US aircraft do need it
This is independent from a pilot's radio license - we need to have one
What information is found in the aircraft journey log? 4 - Answer-Record of each flight made by the
aircraft
Record of the inspections done on the aircraft
Defects
Flight times - scheduling for maintenance
, What is the difference between flight time and air time? Why is it important? - Answer-Air time is from
wheels up to wheels down
Flight time is from when you start the engine until you shut down
Air time is significant because of maintenance scheduling
Where can you find the intercept codes? - Answer-In the CFS
These are the codes that a military plane will use if you get intercepted
That is why you need to fly with a CFS
How does an aircraft generate lift? - Answer-The airfoil shape of the wing makes air move faster over
the top of the wing
- This causes the dynamic pressure above the wing to be higher than bellow
- The pressure difference creates the lift
Define the best angle of climb - Answer-Gives the greatest altitude gain in the shortest horizontal
distance
It is used for clearing obstacles
What is the best angle of climb speed on your aircraft at sea level and at 10000ft ASL? - Answer-56KIAS
65mph
Define best rate of climb speed - Answer-Gives the greatest attitude gain in the shortest time
What is the best rate of climb speed on your aircraft at sea level and at 10000ft AGL? - Answer-62KIAS
78mph
Define Vne - Answer-It is the never exceed speed
