Question 1 of 5

An aircraft’s engine stops in flight. Can it still glide?

A

Yes—the wings can still produce lift without engine power.

B

No—the engine produces all the lift.

C

Only if the aircraft has more than one engine.

Question 2 of 5

Why do pilots generally prefer taking off into the wind?

A

It keeps the engine cooler.

B

It helps the aircraft reach take-off airspeed at a lower groundspeed.

C

It prevents the aircraft from turning.

Question 3 of 5

Before departure, a pilot sets the aerodrome QNH on the altimeter. With the aircraft on the ground, what should the altimeter indicate approximately?

A

Zero feet.

B

The aerodrome elevation above mean sea level.

C

The aircraft’s height above the aerodrome.

Question 4 of 5

You have 60 nautical miles to travel. At a groundspeed of 120 knots, how long will it take?

A

30 minutes.

B

60 minutes.

C

120 minutes.

Question 5 of 5

An aeroplane’s wings-level stall speed is 50 knots. Approximately what is its stall speed in a coordinated, level turn at 60° of bank, assuming the same mass and configuration?

A

50 knots.

B

60 knots.

C

71 knots.
