    Engine sequence of a B737 is recommended to be 2 than 1.

    • False

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The correct answer is true because having two engines in a B737 is recommended over having just one engine. Having two engines provides redundancy and improves the safety and performance of the aircraft. It also allows for better maneuverability and the ability to fly longer distances. Additionally, having two engines provides backup in case one engine fails, reducing the risk of a catastrophic failure.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Within what Mach range does a B737-B744 fly at?

    • .75 to .95 Mach

    • .78 to .85 Mach

    • .50 to .77 Mach

    • .00 to .49 Mach

    Correct Answer
    A. .78 to .85 Mach
    Explanation
    The correct answer is .78 to .85 Mach. This range represents the speed at which a B737-B744 aircraft typically flies. Mach is a unit of measurement that represents the speed of an object relative to the speed of sound. The given range indicates that the aircraft usually operates at speeds between 78% and 85% of the speed of sound.

    A pilot turns on their BCN light after the engines have been turned on.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The BCN light, also known as the beacon light, is a flashing light on an aircraft that is used to indicate the presence of an operating engine. Therefore, the pilot would turn on the BCN light before starting the engines, not after. Hence, the statement is false.

    First contact with ATC when making a IFR route will be to what controller?

    • Ground

    • Tower

    • Clearance Delivery

    Correct Answer
    A. Clearance Delivery
    Explanation
    When making an IFR route, the first contact with ATC will be to the Clearance Delivery controller. This controller is responsible for issuing the initial clearance, which includes the route, altitude, and any other instructions for the flight. The pilot must obtain this clearance before taxiing and taking off. The Clearance Delivery controller ensures that the flight plan is accurate and coordinates with other controllers to ensure a smooth departure.

    A small door opens up in the rear of the aircraft when the APU is on.

    • False

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because when the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) is on, a small door does open up in the rear of the aircraft. The APU is a device that provides power to the aircraft when the main engines are not running. This power is used for various functions such as starting the engines, operating the electrical systems, and providing air conditioning. The small door in the rear of the aircraft allows for the exhaust gases from the APU to be expelled safely outside the aircraft.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Every flight should start and end with a Cold and Dark cockpit set-up.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A Cold and Dark cockpit refers to the state of an aircraft's cockpit when all systems are shut down and all switches are in their default positions. This is not necessary for every flight as modern aircraft often have systems that can be left running between flights. Additionally, some airlines may have specific procedures for starting and ending a flight that do not require a Cold and Dark cockpit set-up. Therefore, the statement is false.

    • 5 Hours

    • 2 Hours

    A. 5 Hours
    Explanation
    The time difference between Central Daylight Time (CDT) and Zulu Time is 5 hours. This means that if it is currently 12:00 PM in CDT, it would be 5:00 PM in Zulu Time.

  • 12. 

    Which instruments are needed in an ILS approach?

    • COM1, COM2, NAV1

    • Both COM1 and NAV1

    • Autopilot and COM1

    • NAV1, NAV2, Course

    Correct Answer
    A. NAV1, NAV2, Course
    Explanation
    In an ILS (Instrument Landing System) approach, the pilot needs to have access to the necessary navigation instruments. The NAV1 instrument is used to tune into the ILS frequency, which provides guidance for the final approach. The NAV2 instrument is used for monitoring and cross-checking the ILS signal. The Course instrument is used to set the desired course for the approach. Therefore, the correct answer is NAV1, NAV2, Course.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Parking brakes should be set after a flight even after the chocks are in to ensure that the aircraft won’t roll away.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Setting the parking brakes after a flight is not necessary if the chocks are in place. Chocks are wedges that are placed in front of the wheels to prevent the aircraft from rolling. Once the chocks are in place, they provide sufficient safety to prevent the aircraft from rolling away, eliminating the need to set the parking brakes. Therefore, the statement is false.
