Canadian PPL Ground Air Test
Questions and Answers Solved 100%
A fireproof plate bearing the aircraft registration must be affixed to the aircraft, where is
this plate located? - ANSWER-Attached to the structure of the aircraft it must be visible
to one on the ground, the main or most rearward entrance/exit of the aircraft
According to the POH, at what Altitude Must Recovery from a spin be completed? -
ANSWER-2000' AGL
Are aircraft inspections based on air time or flight time? - ANSWER-Air time
At what time can you check if the ELT is operational - ANSWER-During the first 5
minutes of any hour UTC for 5 seconds or less
Can you fly through class F airspace? - ANSWER-Not without prior permission
Can you spin the aircraft if it is in the normal Category? - ANSWER-no
Define *Vne* is it indicated on the airspeed indicator? - ANSWER-Vne is the never
exceed speed, the maximum speed the aircraft can achieve before structural damage
occurs
Define basic empty weight - ANSWER-Basic empty weight is the empty weight of the
aircraft which includes all optional equipment, unusable fuel and full oil.
Define maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) - ANSWER-The maximum takeoff weight is
the maximum approved weight at which a takeoff roll can be commenced (determined
by the manufacturer)
Define Va - ANSWER-Va is the maneuvering speed, the speed at which full deflection
of controls can be achieved without over-stressing the aircraft. It will stall before it over-
stresses.
Define Vfe. Can you read it on the Airspeed Indicator? - ANSWER-Vfe is the maximum
flaps extension speed, it is the white arc on the ASI and indicates you may extend more
than 10* of flaps.
Define Vs - ANSWER-Stall speed clean or in a specified configuration. 44/44/48
Describe the fuel system. - ANSWER-The fuel has 2 integral tanks in the wings of the
aircraft, these have fuel strainers under each to check both the quality and
contamination of the fuel, these tanks are gravity-fed to a fuel selector valve where it is
sent through a fuel metering system by an engine driven fuel pump (there is also an
, auxiliary pump) to be distributed into the intake manifold via electronic fuel injectors for
combustion. (Found in section 7 of POH)
Determine the following for the aircraft
A. voltage of electrical system
B. voltage of the battery
C.Ampere strength of the alternator
D. Amp hours of the battery - ANSWER-A. 28V
B. 24V
C. 60A
D. 14Amp Hours
Do VFR flights need permission to enter Class E airspace? - ANSWER-No
Does the aircraft have a fuel pump? - ANSWER-Yes, the 172 has a two fuel pumps.
One is mechanical driven by the engine and the other is electrical (aux)
Does the journey log have to be carried on each flight - ANSWER-As long as the aircraft
concludes its flight at the port of departure it does not have to carry the journey log on
board
Does the Trim Tab move in the same direction as the elevator? - ANSWER-the opposite
direction of the elevator (same direction as the adjustment wheel)
Does the turn coordinator indicate the amount of bank? - ANSWER-NO
Does your insurance have to be carried on board the aircraft for each flight? -
ANSWER-Indeed yes it does mr.examiner sir
During the run-up you notice the oil pressure gauge is inoperative, can you still depart
anyways? - ANSWER-No
How are they powered? - ANSWER-By an engine driven vacuum pump. Except the turn
Coordinator which is electrically powered
How can you determine a high/low, over-voltage situation? - ANSWER-Watch the
ammeter for excessive deflection in either direction and or voltage light illumination
How do you correct an error in the journey log? - ANSWER-With a single line through
the error, write the correction next to it with your initials.
How do you determine moment - ANSWER-M=WxA
How do you know if the annual inspection has been carried out? - ANSWER-There will
be an entry in the log book
