Question 1

In what situations does pilot file reports?

Answer 1

Pilot files reports in case of near-miss and an aircraft incident.

Question 2

What may cause a lack of fuel in flight?

Answer 2

Lack of fuel in flight may case of unestimated headwind, fuel leakage, diverting to an alternate airport or aircraft system failures.

Question 3

Shall pilot dump fuel before a belly-landing? Why?

Answer 3

Pilot must dump fuel before a belly-landing to reduce aircraft weight and approach speed. So, it is a good way to reduce possibility of fire after touchdown.

Question 4

How is aircraft operation affected by bird ingestion?

Answer 4

Bird ingestion may lead to engine surge, engine fire, flameout or failure, loss of power and the immediate landing at the nearest airport.

Question 5

What is the purpose of passenger baggage identification?

Answer 5

In case of missing passenger, we must identify his baggage and disembark this baggage from an aircraft.

Question 6

Why is special training necessary for transporting dangerous goods?

Answer 6

Special training is necessary for transporting dangerous goods to prevent events with dangerous cargo.

Question 7

Why do “smoke” and “fumes” mean different for a pilot?

Answer 7

Smoke is a sign of something burning, while fumes are usually not related to fire.

Question 8

What could be the reasons for airport disrupted operations?

Answer 8

There are a lot of reasons for airport disrupted operation. For example: bad weather condition, military activities, government flights, unlawful interference,airport equipment failure and so on.

Question 9

What do you do to be healthy?

Answer 9

First of all I haven’t bad habits, try to keep myself in fit, do some exercises, keep a healthy diet. In addition, I try to avoid stressful situations.

Question 10

What happens if an aircraft is affected by a microburst on final?

Answer 10

Microburst on final can cause of unstable approach, loss of speed, overshoot landing, aircraft overruninig, hard landing or crash.

Question 11

What type of precipitation might be really dangerous for flight?

Answer 11

In my point of view, Hail, freezing fog, freezing rain or snowstorm might be really dangerous for flight because, for example,

• hail can damage the aircraft or power plant,
• freezing fog or freezing rain can lead to aircraft icing and low visibility.

Question 12

If the RW is not in sight at a DH what do you do?

Answer 12

If the RW is not in sight at a DH, I have to perform GA procedure without delay.

Question 13

You are ready for departure but suddenly delayed. What do you say to the passengers?

Answer 13

In case of hijacking, first of all, I have to lock the cockpit door, set sq 7500, advice ATC about situation on board, proceed to the nearest airports and request police upon arrival.

Question 15

How does endurance depend on rerouting?

Answer 15

Usually, endurance reduces in case of rerouting because aircraft flies a greater distance then calculated distance. But, if we talking about shortcut, aircraft endurance increases.

Question 16

What are necessary actions to prevent an aircraft from a stall?

Answer 16

It is important to monitor flight parameters during the flight to avoid aircraft stall. And if aircraft speed is closed to stall speed, pilots must accomplish the stall recovery procedure.

Question 17

What airport situations would ground a lot of aircraft?

Answer 17

There are some situations would ground a lot of aircraft such as natural disasters, airport equipment failure, runway cleaning, bad weather condition and so on.

Question 18

What actions are required if hydronic pressure has dropped below limit?

Answer 18

If hydraulic pressure has dropped below limit, pilots must accomplish QRH procedure. (Quick reference handbook)

Question 19

What will you do if the ATC’s message is too complicated?

Answer 19

In this situation, I request ATC to divide his message into parts and speak slower.

Question 20

How is RW affected by a RW gradient?

Answer 20

If RW gradient is up, the landing roll distance reduces.

If RW gradient is down, the landing roll distance increases.

Question 21

What airports vehicle are involved in the pre-flight preparation?

Answer 21

There are a lot of airport vehicle that are involved in pre-flight preparation. There are catering machine, fuel tanker, baggage machine, oxygen machine, tug, buses and so on.

Question 22

What will your actions be in case of a wind shear?

Answer 22

In case of a wind shear I will accomplish the windshear escape maneuver.

Question 23

What in-flight emergency situations have you experienced?

Answer 23

I have experienced flaps extending failure, asymmetric ground spoilers extension after touchdown and so on.

Question 24

Have you ever had to make a difficult decision in flight? Can you share?

Answer 24

Question 25

In what cases may a misunderstanding between a controller and a pilot?

Answer 25

A misunderstanding between pilot and ATC may occure due to bad knowledges of English language, accent and so on. Also, it is important to use standard phraseology during the flight to avoid misunderstanding.
