2. In case of a hi-jack, the squawk code is:

Explanation

In case of a hijack, the squawk code is A 7500. A squawk code is a four-digit transponder code that is used by aircraft to communicate with air traffic control. A 7500 squawk code specifically indicates a hijacking or unlawful interference with an aircraft. This code is used by the pilot to alert air traffic control and other aircraft of the emergency situation.

Submit
3. Which action shall be taken by an aircraft in the traffic pattern of an aerodrome, experiencing radio failure to indicate difficulties which compel it to land without requiring immediate assistance?

Explanation

When an aircraft in the traffic pattern of an aerodrome experiences radio failure and needs to indicate difficulties, it should switch the landing lights on and off repeatedly. This action is a recognized signal to communicate a radio failure and indicate that the aircraft needs to land without requiring immediate assistance.

Submit
4. An aircraft maneuvering in an airport's circuit receives a series of red flashes from the control tower. This signifies that the aircraft must:

Explanation

The correct answer is "Not land because the airport is not available for landing." This is because the series of red flashes from the control tower signifies that the airport is not currently available for landing.

Submit
5. In order to meet the wake turbulence criteria, what minimum separation should be applied when a medium aircraft is taking off behind a heavy aircraft and both are using the same runway?

Explanation

When a medium aircraft is taking off behind a heavy aircraft on the same runway, a minimum separation of 2 minutes should be applied in order to meet the wake turbulence criteria. This is necessary to ensure that the wake turbulence generated by the heavy aircraft has dissipated enough to prevent any potential hazards or disturbances to the medium aircraft during takeoff.

Submit
6. Definitions The Transition Level:

Explanation

The correct answer is "Shall be the lowest flight level available for use above the transition altitude." This means that the transition level is the minimum flight level that can be used once an aircraft has reached the transition altitude. It is the level at which aircraft switch from using altimeter settings based on atmospheric pressure to using standard pressure settings. This ensures that all aircraft in the same airspace are using the same reference for altitude measurements. The transition level is determined and published for each aerodrome in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP).

Submit
7. Which does ATC Term "Radar contact" signify?

Explanation

The term "Radar contact" signifies that the aircraft has been identified on the radar display and that radar flight instructions will be provided until the radar identification is terminated. This means that the air traffic control (ATC) is able to track the aircraft's position and provide guidance and instructions based on the radar information. The ATC will continue to provide radar flight instructions until the radar identification is terminated, indicating that the aircraft is no longer being tracked on radar.

Submit
8. When the transponder appears to be unserviceable prior to departure and restore is impossible, than:

Explanation

If the transponder is unserviceable before departure and cannot be restored, the correct action is to indicate the failure in the flight plan. After this, the Air Traffic Control (ATC) will make efforts to ensure that the flight can still continue. This means that the flight may be allowed to proceed, and ATC will assist in finding a solution for the transponder issue.

Submit
9. If radio communication is established during an interception but communications in a common language is not possible, which phrase should be pronounced by the intercepting aircraft to request the intercepted aircraft to descend for landing?

Explanation

In the given scenario, if radio communication is established during an interception but communication in a common language is not possible, the intercepting aircraft should pronounce the phrase "Descend" to request the intercepted aircraft to descend for landing. This phrase is a clear and concise command that indicates the desired action of the intercepted aircraft.

Submit
10. Runway end lights shall be:

Explanation

Fixed unidirectional lights showing red in the direction of the runway are used as runway end lights. These lights provide a visual indication to pilots of the end of the runway, helping them to identify the runway threshold and make accurate landings or takeoffs. The red color is chosen because it contrasts with the surrounding environment and is easily distinguishable, especially in low visibility conditions. This helps to enhance the safety of aircraft operations by providing clear guidance to pilots regarding the runway's end.

Submit
11. The ground - air visual code for: "REQUIRE ASSISTANCE" is:

Explanation

The ground-air visual code for "REQUIRE ASSISTANCE" is represented by the letter V. This code is used to indicate that the pilot or crew on the ground requires immediate assistance.

Submit
12. According to JAR-FCL, an applicant for a PPL (A) who has satisfactorily followed and completed a private pilot licence course shall have received at least:

Explanation

According to JAR-FCL, an applicant for a PPL (A) is required to have received at least 25 hours of dual instruction in order to satisfactorily complete the private pilot license course. This means that the applicant must have undergone training with an instructor for a minimum of 25 hours in order to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to obtain the license.

Submit
13. When the aircraft carries serviceable Mode C transponder, the pilot shall continuously operate this mode

Explanation

When the aircraft carries a serviceable Mode C transponder, the pilot is required to continuously operate this mode unless otherwise directed by ATC. This means that the pilot must keep the Mode C transponder on unless ATC specifically instructs them to turn it off. The transponder helps ATC to accurately track the aircraft's altitude, so it is important for the pilot to comply with this requirement unless told otherwise by ATC.

Submit
14. An aircraft which experiences a headwind of 40 kt while making its way towards the centre of a microburst may expect, when crossing the microburst, to face a windshear of:

Explanation

When an aircraft is flying towards the center of a microburst, it will experience a sudden change in wind direction and speed. In this case, the aircraft is facing a headwind of 40 kt before entering the microburst. Since a microburst is a strong downdraft, the wind speed will increase significantly as the aircraft crosses it. Therefore, the aircraft can expect to face a windshear of 80 kt, which is the sum of the original headwind (40 kt) and the additional increase in wind speed caused by the microburst.

Submit
15. What are final fuel reserves required for a piston aircraft:

Explanation

The final fuel reserves required for a piston aircraft are typically 45 minutes. This means that the aircraft must have enough fuel to fly for an additional 45 minutes after reaching its intended destination. This reserve is necessary to account for any unexpected delays or diversions that may occur during the flight. Having this extra fuel ensures that the aircraft can safely reach an alternate airport or continue flying until a suitable landing site is available.

Submit
16. An aircraft equipped with SSR transponder which is intercepted by another aircraft shall immediately, unless otherwise instructed by the appropriate air traffic service unit, select Mode A

Explanation

When an aircraft equipped with an SSR transponder is intercepted by another aircraft, it is required to select Mode A Code 7700. This code is used to indicate an emergency situation, specifically a general emergency. Selecting this code alerts air traffic control and other aircraft to the fact that the intercepted aircraft is in distress and requires immediate assistance.

Submit
17. Which of the following is correct regarding the VFR Operating minima:

Explanation

Special VFR flights are not allowed to be started when the visibility is less than 3 km. This means that if the visibility is below 3 km, special VFR flights cannot be initiated.

Submit
18. The wake turbulence:

Explanation

The correct answer is that wake turbulence starts at rotation and stops as soon as the aeroplane's wheels touch the ground. This is because wake turbulence is caused by the vortices created by the wings of an aircraft as it generates lift. These vortices are strongest during takeoff and landing when the aircraft is at a high angle of attack and producing the most lift. Once the aircraft's wheels touch the ground, the lift decreases and the vortices dissipate, thus ending the wake turbulence.

Submit
19. According to Annex 7, the registration mark shall be letters, numbers or a combination of letters and numbers and shall be that assigned by:

Explanation

According to Annex 7, the registration mark for an aircraft should be assigned by the state of registry only. This means that the letters, numbers, or combination of both used in the registration mark should be designated by the country where the aircraft is registered. The other options, such as the common mark registering authority, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, and the International Telecommunication Union, are not responsible for assigning the registration mark.

Submit
20. The VMC minima for a VFR flight inside an ATS airspace classified as B, is:

Explanation

The correct answer is 8 km visibility when at or above 3050 m (10.000 ft) AMSL and clear of clouds. This answer states that for a VFR flight inside an ATS airspace classified as B, the minimum visibility required is 8 km when the aircraft is at or above 3050 m (10.000 ft) above mean sea level (AMSL), and there should be no clouds in the vicinity. This ensures that the pilot has sufficient visibility to navigate safely and avoid any potential obstacles or other aircraft.

Submit
21. A notice containing information concerning flight safety, air navigation, technical, administration or legislative matters and originated at the AIS of a state is called:

Explanation

The correct answer is Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) because it is a notice that contains information related to flight safety, air navigation, technical, administration, or legislative matters. It is originated at the AIS (Aeronautical Information Service) of a state. AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication) is a publication that contains aeronautical information essential to air navigation, AIRAC is the system for the regular publication of aeronautical information, and NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) is a notice containing information concerning the establishment, condition, or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure, or hazard.

Submit
22. Which part of the AIP contains a list with "Location Indicators"?

Explanation

The correct answer is AD. AD refers to the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) section that contains a list with "Location Indicators". This section provides information about the location codes used in aviation, allowing pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation personnel to easily identify and communicate specific locations.

Submit
23. Which part of the AIP contains a list with "Location Indicators"?

Explanation

The correct answer is ENR. The AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication) is a document that contains important information for pilots and other aviation personnel. The ENR section of the AIP specifically deals with en-route information, including navigation aids, airways, and airspace. In this context, the "Location Indicators" would refer to a list of codes or identifiers for different airports or airfields. Therefore, it makes sense that this list would be found in the ENR section of the AIP.
