Q

What is transition level?
The altitude, while descending, you would set the QNH as required.
The altitude, while descending, you would set the QNE as required.
The altitude, while climbing, you would set the QNH as required.

The altitude, while descending, you would set the QNH as required.
Correct
Transition level – Flight level descending through which altimeters must be reset to QNH as required. This is specified on ATIS or as communicated by ATC.

Q

You are told to descend from FL330 to 10000ft at .76IMN and then intercept 330KIAS in descent. Does this happen at a higher or lower altitude than intercepting 250KIAS?
Lower.
It depends on the weight of the aircraft.
Higher altitude.

A

Lower.
Using the ITM rule. +ITM- So in a constant MACH descent, everything to the left would go up (towards the plus sign) so IAS increases. So you would pass 250KIAS on the way to 330KIAS in the descent, so capturing 330KIAS would happen at a lower altitude.

Q

What happens to TAS/IAS/AOA if descending at a constant Mach?
TAS increases, IAS increases, AOA decreases.
TAS decreases, IAS increases, AOA decreases.
TAS increases, IAS decreases, AOA decreases.
TAS increases, IAS increases, AOA increases.

A

TAS increases, IAS increases, AOA decreases.
Correct
This will help. IAS, TAS, MACH or ITM. Now when you go from low (-) to high (+) add a – before ITM and a + after. So –ITM+. If you are climbing at a constant TAS, then everything to the right, M, increase. Everything to the left, I, decreases. If climbing at a constant IAS, then everything right of I, which is T, and M increase. If we are descending then switch the – and + signs.

17
Q

What causes sonic signature?
Aircraft form drag.
Temperature cooling as sound moves through the air.
Temperature rising as sound moves through the air.
Sound waves compressed together

A

Sound waves compressed together

18
Q

If landing in a crosswind, what happens to the power required?
Lower power due to adverse yaw.
Lower power, less control input.
Higher power required due to the proverse yaw.
Higher power required, due to increased drag.

A

Higher power required, due to increased drag.

19
Q

If you lose the generator and the alternator, how is the AC bus powered?
The Battery, via an inverter (converts DC to AC).
The Battery, via a TRU (converts AC to DC).
The Battery, via an inverter (converts AC to DC).

A

The Battery, via an inverter (converts DC to AC).

A

1000 feet.

21
Q

What is transition altitude?
The altitude, while climbing, where you would set your altimeter to QNH of 29.92.
The altitude, while climbing, where you would set your altimeter to QNE of 29.92.

24
Q
What is the most likely cause of a hung start?
  Low oil.
  Insufficient fuel.
  Cold temperature.
  Insufficient starting source.
A

Insufficient starting source.

Correct
If the engine fails to accelerate to the proper speed after ignition or does not accelerate to idle RPM a hung start has occurred. A hung start, may also be called a false start. A hung start may be caused by an insufficient starting power source or fuel control malfunction.

25
Q

What is dynamic hydroplaning?
The aircraft tires are riding on an Ice and rubber on the runway surface.
The aircraft tires are riding on a thin sheet of water rather than on the runway surface.
The aircraft tires are riding on the rubber on the runway surface.

A

The aircraft tires are riding on a thin sheet of water rather than on the runway surface.
Correct
Dynamic Hydroplaning: occurs when there is standing water on the runway of a least one-tenth of an inch. This amount of water acts to life the tire off the runway surface and can result in complete loss of braking effectiveness
