DHL Interview ATPL Questions ACTUAL UPDATED QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
What is the VOR change over distance? 60NM
What is the minimum distance between parallel runways? 915m
what the key points of using Mode 2 for parallel runways? 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 60 minutes
before departure
how does a pilot create a slip or a skid and how it is Slip - opposite rudder to direction of turn = ball will be at the same side of the
indicated on the turn co-ordinator? 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? 30 seconds
what are the Airspace separations rules for Class A IFR Only
What are the Airspace separation rules for Class B IFR and VFR seperated
, What are the Airspace separation rules for Class C 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 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 No ATC required
airspace for VFR No SVFR
What is Load Shedding Reducing electrical load on the system by turning of unnecessary electrical
components
how would an artificial feel unit be connected? In Parallel
otherwise if it failed it would stop the system
what are booster pumps low pressure centrifugal boots that supply fuel to the engines.
why are booster pumps important? they prevent cavitation of the engine driven pumps at high altitude.
what is the purpose of baffle valves to prevent fuel flowing the the wing tips to keep it in the centre near the pumps
what is a feeder box a box arounds the booster pumps that keeps the pumps submerged in fuel to
prevent cavitation
how do you switch off the magneto ground the primary circuit
how is the twin jet fuelled by fuel being pumped from the fuel truck
what type of fire extinguisher do you use on propane fire foam
what is the difference between IAS and CAS (calibrated corrected for instrument positional errors
Airspeed)
what is the difference between CAS and TAS (true Corrected for changes in air Density
Airspeed)
when is ground effect felt? half the wingspan from the ground
what is interference drag? Drag caused by interaction of boundary layers at major aircraft components
what are high aspect ratio wings long thin wings
what are low aspect ratio wings short fat ones
