DHL Interview ATPL Questions with well detailed
answers (100% correct) ||LATEST UPDATE 2025/26
What is the VOR change over distance? -CORRECT ANSWER 60NM
What is the minimum distance between parallel runways? -CORRECT ANSWER 915m
what the key points of using Mode 2 for parallel runways? -CORRECT ANSWER 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
what is the minimum time a flight plan must be filed before departure -CORRECT
ANSWER 60 minutes
how does a pilot create a slip or a skid and how it is indicated on the turn co-ordinator? -
CORRECT ANSWER 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
what time must ATC clocks be within? -CORRECT ANSWER 30 seconds
what are the Airspace separations rules for Class A -CORRECT ANSWER IFR Only
What are the Airspace separation rules for Class B -CORRECT ANSWER IFR and VFR
seperated
What are the Airspace separation rules for Class C -CORRECT ANSWER IFR
separated from IFR
IFR Separated from VFR
VFR Info about VFR
Speed limited below FL100 250kts
IFR ( speed limit only on ATC instruction)
What are the Airspace separation rules for Class D -CORRECT ANSWER IFR
Separated from VFR
IFR Info about VFR
VFR Info about VFR
Speed limit below FL100 250kts
,what its the difference between class D and Class E airspace for VFR -CORRECT
ANSWER No ATC required
No SVFR
What is Load Shedding -CORRECT ANSWER Reducing electrical load on the system
by turning of unnecessary electrical components
how would an artificial feel unit be connected? -CORRECT ANSWER In Parallel
otherwise if it failed it would stop the system
what are booster pumps -CORRECT ANSWER low pressure centrifugal boots that
supply fuel to the engines.
why are booster pumps important? -CORRECT ANSWER they prevent cavitation of the
engine driven pumps at high altitude.
what is the purpose of baffle valves -CORRECT ANSWER to prevent fuel flowing the
the wing tips to keep it in the centre near the pumps
what is a feeder box -CORRECT ANSWER a box arounds the booster pumps that
keeps the pumps submerged in fuel to prevent cavitation
how do you switch off the magneto -CORRECT ANSWER ground the primary circuit
, how is the twin jet fuelled -CORRECT ANSWER by fuel being pumped from the fuel
truck
what type of fire extinguisher do you use on propane fire -CORRECT ANSWER foam
what is the difference between IAS and CAS (calibrated Airspeed) -CORRECT
ANSWER corrected for instrument positional errors
what is the difference between CAS and TAS (true Airspeed) -CORRECT ANSWER
Corrected for changes in air Density
when is ground effect felt? -CORRECT ANSWER half the wingspan from the ground
what is interference drag? -CORRECT ANSWER Drag caused by interaction of
boundary layers at major aircraft components
what are high aspect ratio wings -CORRECT ANSWER long thin wings
what are low aspect ratio wings -CORRECT ANSWER short fat ones
why are all jet liners wings swept -CORRECT ANSWER they are better at close to
mach
