Q

Which of the following is true regarding the anti-skid system on most transport aeroplanes?

A

Each wheel having brakes is equipped with speed sensors that detect rapid decelerations of the wheel.

Explanation

The anti-skid system found in some aeroplane braking systems prevents the wheels from stopping during a brake that’s too hard or on a wet or frozen surface.

On a braking system equipped with an anti-skid system, each wheel (having its own brake) has speed sensors that detect rapid decelerations of the wheel. When the wheel speed i

This system allows a reducaon of braking distance and are wear and helps avoid the loss of control caused by a wheel locking up. and therefore the ability to taxi more safely.

Q

Which of the following is true regarding the CAT IIIb autopilot?

A

a device must be at the airport to use this autopilot.

On light aircraft, autopilots have three levels of control:

  • roll only: single-axis autopilot
  • roll and pitch: two-axis autopilot: they can receive radionavigation information to provide automatic flight guidance once the aircraft has taken off until the moment just before landing
  • roll, pitch and yaw: three-axis autopilot

An autopilot controlling landing and rollout is known as a CAT IIIb landing or Autoland, it is often available at major airports. An autopilot that also controls taxi to parking position is known as CAT IIIc

in modern transport aircraft, the autopilot is a three-axis system. It is often divided into taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach and landing phases

Autopilots allow time and fuel to be saved, decrease pilot workload and increase passenger comfort. However, they are often unable to correctly react to dangerous situations and to turbulent flight conditions.

Q

Refer to image 3 in the Appendix.

According to the conditions below, determine the fuel flow of the aircraft when flying for maximum range:

Altitude: 20.000 feet Conditions: ISA + 10ºC Gross weight: 9.000 lbs Propeller speed: 1.900 RPM

A

355 pounds per hour

Explanation

To answer this question, first determine che true airspeed to fly for best range.

Find the highest point of the curve standing for the altitude (20.000 feet). From this pome draw a straight vertical line to the inferior index, you obtain the true airspeed for best range (188 kts). noy/. from the previous point, draw a straight horizontal line to the left index. The specific air range reads (0.53 NAM/lb).

Finally, divide the true airspeed by the specific air range. Here, you have: 188 / 0.53 = 354.72 Ibs/h.

AIM, AIR 2.12.2 (d)

59
Q

Hoar frost can cover an aircraft that is parked outside during:

A

A clear night in winter.

Explanation

Hoar frost is a solid precipitation that forms in clear air and through different mechanisms on the outer surfaces when air saturation occurs and the surface already has a temperature below 0°C. This is the transfer of a gas directly to a solid (ice crystals) without going through the liquid state: deposition. This phenomenon generally occurs during winter nights when the sky is clear. Surfaces then cool by night radiation to a temperature below the surrounding air temperature.

This should not be confused with white dew, which occurs when dew droplets appear on the ground by condensation and freeze afterward.

65
Q

Regarding wake turbulence from a heavy aircraft that has just landed on a runway with a slight crosswind, lateral movement of the upwind vortex will be and the movement of the downwind vortex will be.

Dutch roll.

71
Q

a yaw damper is an automatic stabilization device using a yaw rate _____ and used to reduce _____

A

Gyro; Dutch roll.

72
Q

how will a dihedral improve lateral stability if a disturbance causes one wing to drop?

A

it is a sideslip produced by an unbalanced force that will make the aeroplane roll back into ics proper position.

Explanation
The dihedral forces an aeroplane to make a sideslip in the direction of che down-pointing wing when a disturbance causes the drop of this wing. This will cause air to flow in the opposite direction of the slip. The air will meet che lower wing with an angle of atcack bigger than the higher wing. The lift surplus created by the lower wing will enable che aeroplane to go back to its initial position with a roll movement

73
Q

The purpose of winglets is to:

A

Reduce induced drag.

Explanation

The winglets are installed on some aircraft to prevent creacion of wing dps vortices (induced drag). Their main purpose is felt during flight phases requiring minimum induced drag as the climb (for betcer performances) and che cruise (for minimum fuel consumption).

An disadvantage of this device is that it creates some parasite (form) drag.

74
Q

A

immediately adapt to the local times for meals and sleep.

75
Q

a pilot has taken a herbal based cough drop that doesn’t need any prescription, should he/she take precautions in the case he/she would act as pilot-m-command of an aircraft?

A

Yes. he/she should ask for authorization from a civil aviation medical examiner.

76
Q

Alcohol consumption before or during a flight:

A

Will increase the problem of hypoxia even at lower than normal altitudes.

Will disturb the functioning of the inner ear causing difficulty in balance.

Will reduce piloting skills.

77
Q

During a flight, the pilot of a light aircraft inadvertently finds him/herself in poor weather and is forced to make a precautionary landing, using the DECIDE acronym, to what would the “l: identify plausible action options” correspond?

A

Looking for a field to land safely.

The acronym DECIDE was developed to help you in your decision-making process:
D - Detect changes
E - Estimate the significance of the changes
C - Choose the outcome objective
I - Identify the accion options
D - Do the better action
E - Evaluate the progress.

using this process forces you to consider the ouccome of the accions taken.

78
Q

A pilot who planned to do a circling approach encounters bad weather during the approach but decides to continue with the circling approach, which of the following statements describes this pilot’s behaviour?

A

A person tends to react only to information that confirms his/her initial decision and ignores any other information.

79
Q

In pilot decision-making, what is the memory aid checklist that must be completed?

A

IMSAFE.

Explanation

TP 12863E - Human Factors For Aviation - Basic Manuel => Chapter 10: Decision-Making And Judgement - Risk Management:

IMSAFE:

  • illness?: Do I have any symptoms?
  • Medication: Have I been taking prescription or over-the-counter drugs?
  • Stress: Am i under psychological pressure from the job? Do i have money, health, or family problems?
  • Alcohol: Have i had anything to drink in the last 2A hours? Do i have a hang-over?
