VFR Operations Quiz #1 - Airborne Aviation

VFR Operations Quiz #1

This quiz is designed to test the knowledge of private and commercial pilot licence holders.

Question 1

When carrying out a straight-in approach at a non-towered aerodrome, a pilot should make broadcasts on final at:

5 NM and 1 NM

5 NM and 3 NM

3 NM and 1 NM

5 NM, 3 NM and 1 NM

Question 2

I n the vicinity of a non-towered aerodrome in G airspace, the standard broadcast format is:

All stations (Location), (Aircraft type), (Callsign), (Position & intentions)

(Location) traffic, (Aircraft type), (Callsign), (Position/ intentions), (Location)

All stations (Location), (Callsign), (Position/ level/intentions)

(Location) traffic, (Callsign), (Position/level/intentions), (Location)

Question 3

Endurance for a flight of 80 minute duration, a 45 minute reserve and 30 minutes margin would be entered in NAIPS as:

155

0155

235

0235

The endurance is expressed in a four-figure HHMM group.

Question 4

A cruising level of 5,000ft is:

An IFR cruising level

The highest level that a VFR flight may use without the need to comply with the hemispherical rule

The lowest possible lowest safe altitude (LSALT)

The highest level that may be designated B050

The relaxation of the hemispherical rule applies below A050 but not at A050 (AIP ENR 1.7).

Question 5

If the static port of an aircraft became blocked during a climb, the vertical speed indicator would:

Remain at the previously indicated rate of climb

Fall to a zero rate of climb indication

Indicate a maximum rate of climb

Indicate a maximum rate of descent

The bleed within the instrument would equalise the pressures either side of the capsule, resulting in a zero reading.

Question 6

As a private pilot you intend to conduct a day VFR flight carrying passengers. In the past 4 months you have conducted two cross country flights each of 2 hours with no intermediate landings. With regard to the recent experience requirements you:

Cannot carry passengers because you have not completed 3 landings to a full stop in the last 90 days with care

Can carry passengers because you have accumulated at least 3 hours in command in the previous 90 days

Cannot carry passengers because you have not completed a 90-day check

Can carry passengers provided you have a current medical and flight review

Refer CAR 5.82

Question 7

A METAR with remarks “RF02.0/004.0” indicates that:

2mm of rain has fallen in the previous 15 minutes and 4mm has fallen since 0600 local time

2mm of rain has fallen in the previous 10 minutes and 4mm has fallen since 0900 local time

4mm of rain has fallen in the previous 15 minutes and 2mm has fallen prior to that since 0600 local time

4mm of rain has fallen in the previous 10 minutes and 2mm has fallen prior to that since 0900 local time

Refer to AIP GEN 3.5

Question 8

If RPM increases slightly on applying carburettor heat during pre-takeoff checks, a possible explanation is:

A leak in the heat exchanger

The selector valve travel is not sufficient

A restriction or partial blockage of the air filter

The fuel air mixture is rich

The engine will therefore not develop full power.

Question 9

If the wind from the area forecast was 200/20, a planned flight on a track of 195(M) in an area where the magnetic variation was 10E, could expect:

No drift

Left drift

Right drift

There is insufficient information to determine drift

The ARFOR gives winds in degrees true (T) so wind on plan would be 190(M)/20.

Question 10

The maximum speed at which full control deflection may be applied is termed the:

Normal operating speed, VNO

Manoeuvring speed, VA

Maximum structural cruise speed, VNO

Never exceed speed, VNE
