Sample SHGM CPL(A) Practice Questions
Try these sample questions to review concepts for the SHGM CPL(A) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 26+ question experience with AI tutoring.
1An aeroplane is within its structural mass limit but outside its approved CG envelope. Can the commander accept it for departure?
A.Yes, if the runway is long enough
B.Yes, if the mass limit has a margin
C.No, both mass and CG limitations must be satisfied
D.Only if the passengers accept the restriction
Explanation: Mass and CG are separate approved limitations. A margin in one cannot authorize an exceedance of the other.
2What should a CPL(A) candidate do when an old examination timetable conflicts with the current approved training route?
A.Use the old timetable because CPL theory is unchanged
B.Confirm the current assessment or credit route with the approved ATO and SHGM/KDM information
C.Assume that ATPL credit removes every practical requirement
D.Book any pilot course with the same subject names
Explanation: SHT-FCL defines a distinct CPL qualification, while the current SHT-1TBS has no separate CPL course row. Confirm the approved route rather than reconstructing it from an obsolete schedule.
3With both magnetos serviceable, what normally allows a conventional magneto-ignition piston engine to keep running after the aircraft alternator fails?
A.The magnetos generate their own ignition energy
B.The starter supplies continuous ignition
C.The alternator failure doubles battery voltage
D.The fuel pump produces the ignition spark
Explanation: An engine-driven magneto is independent of the aircraft's normal electrical supply. Alternator failure still affects other equipment and requires the applicable checklist.
4Why can a hydraulic accumulator briefly supply a demand greater than the pump's instantaneous output?
A.It changes hydraulic fluid into a compressible gas
B.It stores energy in compressed gas separated from the fluid
C.It permanently increases pump displacement
D.It replaces the pressure-relief valve
Explanation: Pressurized fluid compresses the accumulator's gas charge. Expansion of that charge returns stored hydraulic energy when demand rises.
5An aeroplane accelerates on a steady easterly heading in the Northern Hemisphere. Its conventional magnetic compass momentarily indicates a turn toward north. What best explains this?
A.The aircraft must actually be turning north
B.The pilot has selected the wrong QNH
C.Acceleration error associated with magnetic dip and compass inertia
D.A gyro erection failure in the magnetic compass
Explanation: A conventional magnetic compass can indicate a false northerly turn during acceleration on east or west headings in the Northern Hemisphere. Cross-check heading with appropriate independent indications rather than chasing the transient error.
6An altimeter is left at a higher pressure setting when entering an area with lower actual QNH. What is the resulting concern?
A.True altitude may be lower than indicated altitude
B.True altitude must be higher than indicated altitude
C.Only indicated airspeed changes
D.The altimeter automatically changes to radio altitude
Explanation: A pressure setting that is too high makes the altimeter over-read. Terrain clearance may be less than indicated altitude suggests.
7A 2,000 kg aeroplane has a CG at 2.40 m. Moving 100 kg of baggage from arm 3.00 m to 1.00 m changes the CG to what value?
A.2.20 m
B.2.30 m
C.2.50 m
D.2.60 m
Explanation: Moment changes by 100 × (1.00 − 3.00) = −200 kg m. Divide by the unchanged 2,000 kg mass: CG moves forward 0.10 m to 2.30 m.
8A wing has a 1.50 m mean aerodynamic chord with its leading edge 2.00 m aft of datum. A CG at 2.45 m is at what percentage MAC?
A.15%
B.22.5%
C.30%
D.45%
Explanation: The CG lies 2.45 − 2.00 = 0.45 m behind the MAC leading edge. The percentage is 0.45 / 1.50 × 100 = 30%.
9An illustrative table gives 900 m takeoff distance at 20°C and 1,100 m at 30°C, with linear interpolation permitted. What is the distance at 26°C before further factors?
A.960 m
B.1,000 m
C.1,020 m
D.1,060 m
Explanation: The temperature is 6/10 through the interval. Add 0.6 × 200 = 120 m to 900 m, giving 1,020 m before separately required factors.
10A light twin is above its published single-engine service ceiling when an engine fails. Which conclusion is justified?
A.Maintaining blue-line speed guarantees level flight
B.The remaining engine guarantees a positive climb
C.Level flight cannot be assumed merely because the remaining engine operates
D.Reducing below minimum control speed improves the climb guarantee
Explanation: Single-engine climb capability depends on altitude, mass, configuration and conditions. A recommended speed obtains available performance but cannot create unavailable excess power.
