1870 Siege of Paris: -
correct answer ✅160 soldiers were airlifted by hot air balloon.
1928 -
correct answer ✅Nicaragua- Pilot used an aircraft with engine
Helicopters: -
correct answer ✅There are 2 types in EMS:
- Single engine: Lighter, uses less fuel.
- Twin engine: Quicker due to thrust power of the second engine. If
1 engine goes out the aircraft loses 80% power.
Aircraft Components: -
correct answer ✅Fuselage:
The fuselage is one of the major aircraft componenets with its long
hollow tube thats also known as the body of the airplance, which
hold the passabgers along with cargo. This area includes the
cockpit, so the pilots are in the front of the fuselage. Despite there
being different types of fuselages, they all connect the major parts
of the airplane together.

Wings:
Commonly known as foils, are aircraft parts that are imperative for
flight. The airflow over he wings is what generates most of the
lifting force necessary for flight. Along with the large wings that
stem from the middle of the fuselage, the wings also include the
two smaller ones at the back of the aircraft, at the tail.
Empennage:
- The tail end of the plane. It helps with stability of the plane and
has two main components called the rudder and the elevator. The
rudder helps the aircraft steer from right to left, and the elevator
helps with the up and down.
Power Plant:
- Stucture that include the engine and the propeller. The engine
itself is a complicated system comprised of many smaller parts like
cylinders, fans, and pistons. Together, these aircraft engine parts
work to generate the power or thrust of an aircraft.
Landing Gear:

(solutions)
-You cannot have a safe plane without landing gear. The landing
gear is also used to help the aircraft take off and taxi.
- Includes the shock absorbers and wheels of the plane.
Visual Flight Rules: (VFR) -
correct answer ✅The aircraft is intended to operate in visual
meteorlogical conditions (nice weather, clear sky). Clouds, heavy
precipitation, low visability, and otherwise adverse weather
condition should be avoided under VFR.
Most general aviation flying and flight training occurs in visual
meterological conditions.
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR): -
correct answer ✅implies thatthe flight may operate in instrument
meterological conditions (IMC, meaning cloudy or otherwise
adverse weather conditions). However, many aircraft may operate
under IFR while completing the entirety of the flight in VMC (visual
meterological conditions) due to the efficiency provided by the IFR
flying s well as the safety of continueing to avoid the bad weather.

Just becuase you can fly in the clouds or less than acceptable
weather conditions doesn't mean you should.
While IFR provides efficiency, additional safety, and usually
consistent contact with the air traffic control, it requires that pilots
follow an exact pre-determined/pre-planned flight route.
Deviations are allowed in instances of emergencies, diversions,
traffic and weather avoidance, but generally air traffic control
expects you to fly the route and altitiude you were given, called
clearance.
VFR flying however, affords the freedom of flying any route and
altitude you choose, barring specific airspace limitations .
Choosing whether to fly VFR or IFR depends on several factors
including: -
correct answer ✅-Equipment available on the aircraft
- Current and forecast weather conditions.
- Goals of the flight.
