A small door opens up in the rear of the aircraft when the APU is on.
-
False
-
True
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
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:

Every flight should start and end with a Cold and Dark cockpit set-up.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
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.Rate this question:

-
COM1, COM2, NAV1
-
Both COM1 and NAV1
-
Autopilot and COM1
-
NAV1, NAV2, Course
Correct Answer
A. NAV1, NAV2, CourseExplanation
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:

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. FalseExplanation
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.Rate this question:
