Aircraft Operations Flashcards
PSTAR
In an emergency requiring the use of an ELT, it should be turned on
(1) immediately and left on.
(2) at the ETA in the flight plan.
(3) for the first five minutes of each hour UTC.
(4) during daylight hours only to conserve the battery.
(1) immediately and left on.
An aircraft’s 121.5 MHz ELT may be switched to transmit for test purposes anytime
(1) following a hard landing.
(2) during the first 5 minutes of any hour UTC.
(3) following a component or battery change.
(4) prior to flight and listening on 121.5 MHz.
(2) during the first 5 minutes of any hour UTC.
Before shutting down you can verify that the aircraft’s ELT is not transmitting by
(1) checking that the ELT switch is in the off position.
(2) listening on 121.5 MHz for a signal.
(3) ensuring that the master switch is off.
(4) checking the ELT visual warning light.
(2) listening on 121.5 MHz for a signal.
All accidental ELT activations should be reported to the
(1) airport manager.
(2) R.C.M.P.
(3) Minister.
(4) nearest ATS unit.
(4) nearest ATS unit.
When an aircraft engine is left running on the ground and no person remains onboard, the aircraft’s movement must be restricted and
(1) it must remain in sight of the pilot at all times.
(2) it must not be left unattended.
(3) its gross weight must be below 4,409 LB (2,000 kg).
(4) its control locks must be installed.
(2) it must not be left unattended.
When confronted with an approaching thunderstorm, a take-off or landing
(1) should be avoided as a sudden wind shift or low level turbulence could cause a loss of control.
(2) is safe if you can see under the thunderstorm through to the other side.
(3) should be avoided unless the take-off can be made away from the thunderstorm.
(4) is safe if the thunderstorm is regarded as light.
(1) should be avoided as a sudden wind shift or low level turbulence could cause a loss of control.
An isolated thunderstorm is in close proximity to your aerodrome of intended landing. You should
(1) land giving due consideration to wind shear on final approach.
(2) hold over a known point clear of the thunderstorm until it is well past the aerodrome.
(3) land as quickly as possible.
(4) add one-half the wind gust factor to the recommended landing speed and land.
(2) hold over a known point clear of the thunderstorm until it is well past the aerodrome.
The take-off thrust blast danger area includes at least that area extending back from the tail of a medium size jet transport aeroplane for
(1) 1,200 feet.
(2) 900 feet.
(3) 500 feet.
(4) 450 feet.
(1) 1,200 feet.
The ground idle blast danger area extends back from the tail of a jumbo jet aeroplane for at least
(1) 200 feet.
(2) 450 feet.
(3) 600 feet.
(4) 750 feet.
(3) 600 feet.
The ground idle blast danger area extends back from the tail of a medium size jet aeroplane for at least
(1) 200 feet.
(2) 450 feet.
(3) 600 feet.
(4) 750 feet.
(2) 450 feet.
The ground idle blast danger area extends back from the tail of an executive jet aeroplane for
(1) 200 feet.
(2) 450 feet.
(3) 600 feet.
(4) 750 feet.
(1) 200 feet.
A 45 kt blast area can be expected ….. behind the propellers of a large turbo-prop aeroplane during taxi.
(1) 60 feet.
(2) 80 feet.
(3) 100 feet.
(4) 120 feet.
(1) 60 feet.
ATC advises that simultaneous operations are in progress at an airport. Pilots could expect a clearance to
(1) take-off over top of an aircraft on an intersecting runway.
(2) take-off on a specified parallel runway.
(3) land and hold short of an intersecting runway.
(4) land on a specified parallel runway.
(3) land and hold short of an intersecting runway.
When issued a clearance to land and hold short of an intersecting runway, pilots
(1) shall comply regardless of the circumstances.
(2) may taxi across the intersection after the departing or arriving aircraft has cleared their path.
(3) who inadvertently go through the intersection should immediately do a 180° turn and backtrack to the hold position.
(4) should immediately inform ATC if they are unable to comply.
(4) should immediately inform ATC if they are unable to comply.
