Question 1

Question
In an aircraft with normally aspirated engines, critical speed:
Answer
  • will decrease as altitude increases
  • will decrease as height decreases
  • will increase as altitude increases
  • will not change with change in altitude

Question 2

Question
If an engine fails during take-off before Vr, the correct action is to:
Answer
  • Maintain directional control and continue the take-off while shutting down the failed engine
  • Maintain directional control, reduce drag to a minimum and continue accelerating to Vr
  • Maintain directional control, close both throttles and bring the aircraft to a stop on the runway
  • Maintain directional control, identify and remedy the cause of the failure

Question 3

Question
The rudder side force during asymmetric flight with the wings level and in balanced flight:
Answer
  • can be reduced by banking 5° towards the failed engine
  • balances fuselage side force
  • creates a rudder yawing moment that opposes the asymmetric thrust and drag yawing moment
  • balances asymmetric thrust

Question 4

Question
If an engine fails below ACA during a normal approach:
Answer
  • Continue the approach whilst carrying out the restart drills
  • Go around immediately and ascertain the cause of the failure prior to any subsequent approach
  • Continue the approach whilst completing the feathering drills for the failed engine
  • Continue the approach and land

Question 5

Question
The airspeed instrument markings for a light twin are Blue Line (Vyse) and Red Line (Vmca)
Answer
  • These speeds only apply to the aircraft at maximum all up weight
  • These speeds are applicable at all aircraft weights
  • These speeds are for the aircraft at an average all up weight
  • Vmca decreases with a reduction in all up weight

Question 6

Question
If the critical engine fails and a constant speed is maintained:
Answer
  • In comparison with a failure of the non-critical engine a smaller rudder input will be required to contract the yaw
  • The single engine performance will be better than when the non-critical engine has failed
  • A larger rudder input will be required to counter the yaw compared to that required with a failure of the non-critical engine
  • There will be no difference in rudder input so long as the aircraft is in balanced flight

Question 7

Question
Which of the following answers is correct with regard to the correct application of bank following an engine failure:
Answer
  • Up to 5° bank can be applied towards the live engine when high power is being used and the airspeed is low
  • Bank can only be used instead of rudder to maintain straight flight
  • Up to 5° bank can be applied towards the failed engine when high power is being used and the airspeed is low
  • Up to 5° bank can only be applied towards the live engine when high power is being used and directional control has been lost

Question 8

Question
When an engine fails, the decision to feather should be made promptly because:
Answer
  • Feathering requires engine oil pressure which is reducing rapidly
  • If the RPM drops below 1300 RPM feathering may not be possible
  • The loss of oil pressure may cause the propeller to overspeed
  • If the RPM falls below 1300 RPM the unfeathering accumulator will attempt to unfeather the propeller

Question 9

Question
After an engine failure and rudder had been applied to balance the aircraft, it will still be necessary to prevent roll with aileron because:
Answer
  • The secondary effect of rudder is roll
  • The aircraft is sideslipping slightly
  • There is a difference in the slipstream over the wings causing a difference in lift
  • The aircraft is slowing down and the rudder is becoming less effective

Question 10

Question
Which statement is true concerning the loss of the critical engine?
Answer
  • It will have no effect on performance provided the aircraft is in balanced flight
  • Performance will be worse than with the failure of the non-critical engine
  • Critical speed will be lower since the thrust line of the critical engine is closer to the fuselage
  • Performance will be better than with the failure of the non-critical engine

Question 11

Question
When closing the throttle of the live engine during an asymmetric landing:
Answer
  • Any yaw will be due to crosswind
  • The aircraft will yaw towards the live engine
  • There will be no yaw provided the rudder trim is neutral
  • The aircraft will yaw towards the dead engine

Question 12

Question
Which of the following statements is most correct in relation to the fuselage side force in controlled asymmetric flight?
Answer
  • With 5° bank towards the live engine, the side forces can be eliminated, however the ball will not be central
  • The residual side force cannot be eliminated
  • When sufficient rudder is used to maintain a constant heading, the side forces will be balanced and the longitudinal axis will be aligned with the flight path
  • The side force will be eliminated when rudder is used to prevent yaw and the wings level

Question 13

Question
The effectiveness of the rudder during asymmetric flight:
Answer
  • Increases if power is increased
  • Increases with an aft C of G
  • Increases with 5° bank applied towards the dead engine
  • Increases with a forward C of G

Question 14

Question
During an engine failure in the cruise, which is the correct action?
Answer
  • The wings should be levelled using the ailerons then sufficient rudder applied to prevent yaw and back pressure applied
  • Rudder should be applied to stop any yaw, ailerons used to select and keep the wings level and enough back pressure applied to maintain the attitude
  • Initially monitor the engine instruments to see which engine has failed before applying any control inputs
  • Select maximum continuous power then apply the controls as in answer B

Question 15

Question
In cruise flight if the left engine fails:
Answer
  • In a turn to the right the aircraft will yaw and roll rapidly to the left and enter a spiral dive
  • The slip ball will move out to the left and indicate which rudder should be applied
  • In a turn to the left the aircraft will yaw and roll rapidly to the left and enter a spiral dive
  • In a turn it is important to roll the wings level before applying any other control inputs

Question 16

Question
If an engine fails during the climb:
Answer
  • Half the power and half the performance are lost
  • The loss of performance will depend on whether or not it is the critical engine that has failed
  • Half the power and up to 90% of the performance will be lost
  • The rate of climb must be reduced in order to maintain the performance

Question 17

Question
The criteria used to determine Vmca are:
Answer

  • Failure of the critical engine and its propeller windmilling, engine controls set for full power, rear most allowable center of gravity, maximum take-off weight, gear and flaps at take-off setting and a maximum of 5° bank towards the live engine

Question 19

Question
The centrifugal latch in the CSU is to:
Answer

Question
Why is there a two minute limit on starter assisted restart when the engine has been shut down?
