CPL Questions Flashcards

1
Q

App Ban

A

App ban point is at the outer marker or 1000ft above airfield elevation on app

The point at which if the visibility is below the minima for the app you must go around

You may continue the app even if it drops below the minis of past the App ban point

Q

Define IFR

A

Flying in IMC conditions with the appropriate equipment list.

Flying at levels using the semi circular rule at or above 3000ft above msl

Mandatory:

  • in IMC
  • I’m Class A airspace except where SVRF are permitted
  • Class C Airspace when VFR is not permitted

Q

What is PEC and why should it be applied? Where do you find this referenced

A

Pressure Error Corrections

When temperature is Less than ISA the aircraft will be LOWER than the altimeter reading
(Remember columns of air altimeter will over read)

When the temp is lower than 0 deg PEC must be added to
MDA/DA
All low alt app procedures

4 percent for every 10 deg below standard

ICAO pans ops

Q

Altimeter settings

Above TA

A

Alt 1 1013.25
Al2 FIS sector QNH

Because in an Emergancy QNH is more important for ground clearance obstacle clearance

20
Q

VFR rules

A

VMC minima

Below Fl195
SVFR if felling below 1500ft or vis less than 5km

21
Q

Obstacles flash red at night?

A

Must be over 150m

490ft

22
Q

What is SVFR

A

Flying VFR in CAS below VMC minima

23
Q

IFR rules

A

Below VMC minima

In class A

1000ft above highest obstacle with 5nm
(2000ft mountains)

Fly flight levels using semi circular outside CAS

24
Q

ATZ sizes

A

2nm if rwy less than 1850m (6000ft)

2.5nm if bigger

25
Q

Failure of an engine will result in a

A

Loss of RPM
Manifold pressure dependent on engine type (supercharged or not) and at what sheeting it failed
Slip ball moving towards the live engine

26
Q

What does moving the c of G rewards do to Mcrit

A

Increases M crit

27
Q

When reducing the power below 25% the RPM should?

A

Increase

(Possibly below the governing range?)

Refer to rpm load graph initial dip before a slow rise against load

28
Q

In assymetric flight the aircraft slips towards?

A

dead engine

29
Q

Decreasing and increasing power order of actions

A

Decreasing

  • throttle
  • prop
  • mixture

Increasing

  • mixture
  • prop
  • throttle
30
Q

Beta range of a variable pitch is used for

A

Reverse thrust

31
Q

What happens to Vmca with increased altitude?

A

Vmca decreases with increasing altitude

Because at higher altitude thrust is decreased so less rudder is required

Remember the worst time for and engine to fail is high power low altitude
