SIFT AVIATION EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2026 VERIFIED.
What is the preferred method of ground movement for helicopter on airports - ANS air taxi
what type of helicopter design uses a ducted fan in place of a tail rotor to cancel torque effect -
ANS the NOTAR
how would high density altitude affect the performance of a helicopter - ANS Performance
would decrease due to low value of the air density
which pitot static instrument makes use of both pitot and static preasure - ANS airspeed
indicator
what effect does the celiac control have on the rotor system - ANS It alters the pitch of the
main rotor blades individually and cynically
AOA is - ANS ANGLE OF ATTACK and the airfoil chord line and the resultant relative wins
what is the primary principle to counteract the main rotor torque with NOTAR - ANS coanda
effect
what type of drag is caused by lift - ANS induced drag
@COPYRIGHT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PAGE 1 OF 10
, what are the four elements of risk management - ANS pilot,aircarft,enviorment,external
pressures
what three conditions are necessary for a helicopter to be in danger of a dynamic rollover -
ANS pivot point, rolling motion, and exceeding critical angle
what are the three regions of a rotor in autorotaton - ANS driven, driving, and stall
what is resultant relative wind - ANS Rotational relative wind modified by induced flow
Bernoulli's Principle - ANS as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the
fluid decreases
which is true of helicopter performance in ground effect (IGE) - ANS the rotor system
becomes more efficient since the ground interiors with the circulation pattern and less oiler is
required to hover
which term is used to describe the weight of an aircraft, including all hydraulic and oil systems,
full, trapped and unusable fuel and all fixed equitment - ANS basic weight or basic empty
weight
what aerodynamic condition can occur when a helicopter is descending at greater then 300
fpm, has 20 to 100 percent power, and an airspeed less then effective translational lift -
ANS settling with power
how would a pilot recognize the onset of transverse flow effect - ANS during takeoff, a
vibration and a right rolling motion occurs as the aircraft acerbates through 10 to 20 knots
if magnetic north is a positive 15 degree variation west from true north to convert true north to
magnetic north when flying eastbound what is the adjustment a pilot must make to the
magnetic compass - ANS add 15 degrees
