Question 11

The proper procedure to recover from a settling with power (vortex ring state) condition:

Answer 11

Increase fwd speed and partially decrease collective pitch or perform the vuichard recovery

Question 12

A magenta shading on VFR charts encircles the areas of Class E airspace where the floor is:

Answer 12

700’ AGL

GT: Recall that the thick and fuzzy magenta circle or set of lines indicate Class E airspace starting at 700 ft. AGL
Everywhere else, meaning anytime you’re outside of the thick and fuzzy magenta circle or set of lines, or nothing is being indicated on the sectional chart, Class E airspace starts at 1,200 ft. AGL.
Here are the common types of Class E that you will encounter:
The surface area designated for an airport (starts at the surface; identified by the dashed magenta line/circle; requires airspace authorization)​
Extension to a surface area (identified by the dashed magenta line/box appearing on Class D airspace; does not require airspace authorization)
Transition airspace
(starts at 700 ft AGL; identified by the thick fuzzy magenta circle/border around an airport; does not require airspace authorization)
(starts at 1,200 ft AGL; not identified on charts; governing airspace when not under other controlled airspace; does not require airspace authorization)
En Route Domestic Areas (starts at 1,200 ft AGL; identified by the thick fuzzy blue line; does not require airspace authorization)
Victory Airways (starts at 1,200 ft AGL and is identified by the light blue line. These are like the highways in the sky. Victor airways do not require airspace authorization)
Offshore airspace areas (starts at indicated altitude; identified by the blue zipper line, does not require airspace authorization)

Answer 20

FALSE

GT:

Question 21

An engine battery start should not be attempted if the MAIN BUS 1 voltage is below 24 volts

Answer 21

FALSE

GT: 23 volts min start

Question 22

Answer 23

The last day of the 12th month following the issue.

Question 24

Crews are not prohibited from completing an overwater search mission as long as the aircraft stays within 3 NM of land at 500’ AGL of (or) 12 NM of land at 1000’ AGL (T/F).

Answer 24

FALSE

GT: OPS MANUAL 10.10: Open Water Operations are defined as the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay south of the state line.

Open water SAR operations beyond 12 NM from shore are prohibited and open water operations
beyond 3 NM from shore require the approval of the DFO or their designee. In the event such
communication cannot be made in a timely manner, the flight crew will use their best judgement
considering risk, safety, and weather conditions before operating in open water in an effort to
preserve life.
