PMI Exam

Question 1

Where will you find flight and duty limitations

Answer 1

CAO 48.1

Question 2

What does FDP stand for

Answer 2

Flight Duty Period

Question 3

What are the flight and duty limitations

Answer 3

Depends on what time you start, but it ranges from 8-11 hours

Question 4

How many months is a 2 year proficiency check valid for?

Answer 4

25 months…. Because it is valid to the end of the month that you did your check e.g. 6th June becomes 30th June, which can be considered the 25th month.

Question 5

Define ‘learning’

Answer 5

Behaviour modified by experience

Question 6

what are the two types of learning

Answer 6

Overt (observable) and Covert (conscious but not external to the body)

Question 7

Describe the ratio of learning through our senses

Answer 7

Visual= 75%
Sound = 13%
Touch= 6%
Smell = 3%
Tase = 3%

Question 8

Define ‘perception’

Answer 8

Reception and interpretation of stimulus

Question 9

Define ‘insight’

Answer 9

grouping of perceptions into meaningful wholes

Question 10

How often does the brain scan for stimuli

Answer 10

20 times per second!

Question 11

how long is visual information stored for…

Answer 11

1 second (even though it is 0.3 seconds….)

Question 12

How long is audio information stored for (echoic memory)

Answer 12

1-5 seconds

Question 13

thrust to drag ratio of 172

Answer 13

9:1 (also the lift to drag ratio)

Question 14

When discussing a graph, what must you do prior?

Answer 14

Establish what each axis (x and y) is representing

Question 15

IAS maximum excess thrust is used for what type of climb?

Answer 15

BROC

Question 16

IAS for maximum excess power is used for what type of climb?

Answer 16

BAOC

Question 17

What type of windsock do we have at YMMB

Answer 17

20kt windsock

Question 18

How strong is the crosswind when the windsock is 45° to the runway

Answer 18

3/4 the strength of the wind

Question 19

At what angle to the runway can the crosswind be considered the maximum value relative to the wind

Answer 19

> 60°

Question 20

When drawing the four forces of flight, how should you actually draw it…

Answer 20

Lift and Weight should have MUCH longer lines than thrust and drag!

Question 21

Why do we lower the nose at top of climb?

Answer 21

Because if we remove power, we would be on the wrong side of the power-IAS graph. I.E. We would be in the region of reverse command if the airspeed slowed enough

Question 22

When completing a flight briefing, what should you have in the review?

Answer 22

Content which is relevant in order to continue to the next lesson. e.g. if you were doing the climb brief, then review the PAST ASPT, and forces in a climb (briefly).

It drops dramatically over 24hrs, then seems to level out (but still declines slightly)

Question 25

What are the four basic levels of learning

Answer 25

Rote (can remember but don’t know why)
Understanding (now know why)
Application (knowing how to apply it to a practical scene)
Correlation (being able to cross-reference to other knowledge e.g. Otto cycle in car engines to plane engines)

Question 26
