11.01 In an emergency requiring the use of an
ELT, it should be turned on
(1) immediately and left on.
(2) at the ETA in the flight plan.
(3) for the first five minutes of
each hour UTC.
(4) during daylight hours only to
conserve the battery.
11.02 An aircraft's ELT may be switched to transmit
for test purposes anytime
(1) following a hard landing.
(2) during the first 5 minutes of any hour UTC.
(3) following a component or battery
change.
(4) prior to flight and listening
on 121.5 MHz.
11.03 Before shutting down you can verify that
the aircraft's ELT is not transmitting by
(1) checking that the ELT switch
is in the off position.
(2) listening on 121.5 MHz for a signal.
(3) ensuring that the master switch
is off.
(4) checking the ELT visual warning
light.
11.04 All accidental ELT activations should be
reported to the
(1) airport manager.
(2) R.C.M.P.
(3) Minister.
(4) nearest ATS unit.
11.05 When an aircraft engine is left running
on the ground and no person remains onboard, the aircraft's movement must
be restricted and
(1) it must remain in sight of the
pilot at all times.
(2) it must not be left unattended.
(3) its gross weight must be below
4,409 LB (2,000 kg).
(4) its control locks must be installed.
11.06 When confronted with an approaching thunderstorm,
a take-off or landing
(1) should be avoided as a sudden wind shift or low level
turbulence could cause a loss of control.
(2) is safe if you can see under
the thunderstorm through to the other side.
(3) should be avoided unless the
take-off can be made away from the thunderstorm.
(4) is safe of the thunderstorm is
regarded as "light".
11.07 An isolated thunderstorm is in close proximity
to your aerodrome of intended landing. You should
(1) land giving due consideration
to wind shear on final approach.
(2) hold over a known point clear of the thunderstorm until
it is well past the aerodrome.
(3) land as quickly as possible.
(4) add one-half the wind gust factor
to the recommended landing speed and land.
11.08 The take-off thrust blast danger area includes
at least that area extending back from the tail of a medium size jet transport
aeroplane for
(1) 1,200 feet.
(2) 900 feet.
(3) 500 feet.
(4) 450 feet.
11.09 The ground idle blast danger area extends
back from the tail of a jumbo jet aeroplane for at least
(1) 200 feet.
(2) 450 feet.
(3) 600 feet.
(4) 750 feet.
11.10 The ground idle blast danger area extends
back from the tail of a medium size jet aeroplane for at least
(1) 200 feet.
(2) 450 feet.
(3) 600 feet.
(4) 750 feet.
11.11 The ground idle blast danger area extends
back from the tail of an executive jet aeroplane for
(1) 200 feet.
(2) 450 feet.
(3) 600 feet.
(4) 750 feet.
11.12 A 45 KT blast area can be expected .....
behind the propellers of a large turbo-prop aeroplane during taxi.
(1) 60 feet.
(2) 80 feet.
(3) 100 feet.
(4) 120 feet.
11.13 At the request of the pilot, VHF direction
finding stations normally provide a homing service
(1) only in Class B airspace.
(2) only after declaration of an
emergency on 121.5 MHz.
(3) on the approach control frequency.
(4) on a pre-selected tower or FSS frequency.
11.14 VDF steers are intended to provide directional
assistance to VFR flights
(1) in times of difficulties.
(2) on routine navigational trips.
(3) cleared for Special VFR.
(4) in uncontrolled airspace.
11.15 You are uncertain of your position and have
requested a VDF steer to an airport. You should be aware that
(1) avoiding other traffic is your
responsibility but terrain clearance will be provided.
(2) avoiding other traffic and terrain clearance is your responsibility.
(3) traffic avoidance and terrain
clearance will be provided.
(4) traffic avoidance will be provided
but terrain clearance is your responsibility.
11.16 ATC advises that simultaneous operations
(SIRO) are in progress at an airport. Pilots could expect a clearance to
(1) take off over top of an aircraft
on an intersecting runway.
(2) take off on a specified parallel
runway.
(3) land and hold short of an intersecting runway.
(4) land on a specified parallel
runway.
11.17 When issued a clearance to land and hold
short of an intersecting runway, pilots
(1) shall comply regardless of the
circumstances.
(2) may taxi across the intersection
after the departing or arriving aircraft has cleared their path.
(3) who inadvertently go through
the intersection should immediately do a 180° turn and backtrack to the
hold position.
(4) should immediately inform ATC if they are unable to comply.
