1Two powered aeroplanes approach head-on at the same altitude with a collision risk. Under the standard rules of the air, what should each do?
A.Turn left
B.Turn right
C.Maintain heading and wait for the other aircraft to move
D.Climb while the other aircraft descends
Explanation: Each aircraft should alter heading to the right when approaching head-on or approximately so with a danger of collision. A common rule gives both pilots a predictable avoidance action.
2Using the standard ICAO VMC table without any authorized visibility reduction, what applies in Class G at or below the higher of 3,000 ft AMSL or 1,000 ft above terrain?
A.5 km visibility, clear of cloud and with the surface in sight
B.5 km visibility, 1,500 m horizontally and 1,000 ft vertically from cloud
C.8 km visibility, clear of cloud
D.1.5 km visibility automatically for every aeroplane
Explanation: The standard low-level Class G criteria are 5 km visibility, clear of cloud and with the surface in sight. A reduced visibility provision requires the relevant authority's permission and conditions; it must not be treated as the universal minimum.
3Which standard transponder code identifies a two-way radio communication failure?
A.7500
B.7600
C.7700
D.2000
Explanation: Code 7600 identifies radio communication failure. Selecting it does not replace the applicable lost-communication flight procedure or attempts to restore contact.
4What does a red square panel containing two yellow diagonal stripes in an aerodrome signal area mean?
A.Landings are prohibited and the prohibition is likely to be prolonged
B.Use special precautions for approach and landing because of the manoeuvring area's condition
C.Use only runways and taxiways for surface movement
D.Glider flying is in progress
Explanation: The two yellow diagonals on a red square prohibit landing and indicate that the prohibition is likely to continue. A single diagonal instead calls for special precautions because of the manoeuvring area's condition.
5Under the standard ICAO Class C service model, what service does a VFR flight receive?
A.Separation from IFR and traffic information about other VFR flights
B.Separation from every IFR and VFR flight
C.Traffic information only, with no separation from IFR
D.Separation from VFR but only traffic information about IFR
Explanation: Class C separates VFR flights from IFR flights. Other VFR traffic is covered by traffic information, with avoidance advice on request, rather than routine VFR-to-VFR separation.
6Beginning with the intake stroke, what is the correct stroke sequence in a conventional four-stroke piston engine?
A.Intake, power, compression, exhaust
B.Intake, exhaust, compression, power
C.Intake, compression, exhaust, power
D.Intake, compression, power, exhaust
Explanation: The cylinder takes in a charge, compresses it, extracts work during the power stroke and expels combustion products. One complete four-stroke cycle requires two crankshaft revolutions.
7What are the principal benefits of two independent magnetos and two spark plugs per cylinder in a conventional aircraft piston engine?
A.Redundant ignition and automatic battery charging
B.Higher spark voltage and automatic fuel-mixture control
C.Redundant ignition and more effective combustion
D.A separate spark plug for the intake and exhaust strokes
Explanation: Independent ignition systems allow continued operation after one system fails. Two plugs also improve combustion by initiating the burn at two locations in each cylinder.
8At an unchanged throttle setting in a fixed-pitch propeller aeroplane, what is a typical early indication of carburettor icing?
A.A gradual unexplained RPM reduction
B.A gradual RPM increase
C.A rising manifold-pressure indication with no power loss
D.A battery discharge with normal engine performance
Explanation: Carburettor ice restricts airflow and reduces engine power. With a fixed-pitch propeller, the loss is normally seen as falling RPM and may progress to rough running.
9Carburettor heat is applied to a fixed-pitch engine that has accumulated carburettor ice. What response is normally expected?
A.An immediate RPM rise with no possible roughness
B.A permanent RPM drop proving that heat has worsened the ice
C.No induction change until the heat is selected off
D.An initial RPM drop, possible roughness, then recovery as ice clears
Explanation: Warm intake air initially reduces charge density and power, so RPM may fall. Melting ice can cause temporary roughness before airflow and RPM recover; use the aircraft's approved procedure.
10What colour identifies aviation gasoline grade 100LL?
A.Clear or straw
B.Blue
C.Green
D.Red
Explanation: 100LL aviation gasoline is dyed blue. Fuel identity must also be checked against the aircraft's approved fuel specification and delivery documentation; colour alone does not establish that a suspect mixture is safe.
