Questions and Answers

1.

You experience complete engine failure what is your initial action?
- A.
  
  Pitch the aircraft for best glide speed and trim quickly
- B.
  
  Request for assistance and transmit a mayday call
- C.
  
  Turn towards a suitable field
- D.
  
  Attempt engine restart
2.

Is the following correct. After experiencing engine failure you should first pitch for Vgl and quickly trim the aircraft. Then you choose a suitable field and plan how you will get there. If you have time try to restart the engine. If you are unable to restart the engine you must transmit a mayday call before making crash checks which typically include securing the engine, turning the fuel and master switch, warning passengers and unlatching doors.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
3.

Which of the following is correct regarding use of flaps?
- A.
  
  They are not necessary if there is enough room for a long landing run
- B.
  
  They should be lowered once you know you will reach the field
- C.
  
  They should never be used
- D.
  
  First notch of flaps should be lowered on base leg and full flaps once wings level on final
4.

On final leg you should not use slipping (side slip) to control height as this increases stall speed and a possibility to enter a spin at low height.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
5.

What effect does lowering flaps have on glide speed and distance?
- A.
  
  Lowering flaps will decrease glide speed and increase gliding distance
- B.
  
  Lowering flaps will decrease glide speed and decrease gliding distance
- C.
  
  Lowering flaps to take-off position will decrease glide speed and increase gliding distance
- D.
  
  Lowering flaps to take-off position will increase glide speed and increase gliding distance
6.

During glide your aiming point is moving upwards (Sight line angle reducing) this means.
- A.
  
  In order to make it to the aiming point you should further slow down your aircraft
- B.
  
  You will not reach your aiming point
- C.
  
  You will overfly the aiming point
- D.
  
  You will reach reach your aiming point
7.

8.

- B.
  
  Start an immediate turn to the left with shallow angle of bank and land on runway 18
- C.
  
  Land straight ahead avoiding obstacles
- D.
  
  Start a shallow turn towards the field on your left
9.

- B.
  
  Glide the same distance than a lighter aircraft with a lower glide speed
- C.
  
  Glide further distance than a lighter aircraft with the same glide speed
- D.
  
  Glide shorter distance than a lighter aircraft with a higher glide speed
10.

- A.
  
  Approximately 3NM
- B.
  
  Approximately 5NM
- C.
  
  Approximately 8NM
- D.
  
  Approximately 10NM
