060 Operational Procedure

The term "flight time" is defined as...

• a.     the period from the start of the take-off run to the final touchdown when landing.
• b.     . the total time from the first aircraft movement until the moment it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight.
• c.     the period from engine start for the purpose of taking off to leaving the aircraft after engine shutdown.
• d.     the total time from the first take-off until the last landing in conjunction with one or more consecutive flights.

What should be considered regarding a scheduled flight over water, when land cannot be reached in case of an emergency landing?

• a.     Contact to the nearest ATC shall consist during the whole flight
• b.     . For all passengers there must be life jackets or lifeboats present
• c.     The flight plan has to contain the exact waypoints
• d.     Transponder code 7600 has to be set during the whole flight

How can the pilot of an an engine-driven aircraft minimise the noise emission during descent and approach?

• a.     Low approach with minimum power setting, late configuration and steep approach, adherence to established arrival routes
• b.     Descent and approach in landing configuration while maintaining a descent angle of 3°, direct approach whenever possible
• c.     Normal approach with normal power setting, configuration prior to initiating descent, shortest possible arrival route
• d.     . High approach with minimum power setting, late descent, late configuration, adherence to established arrival routes

How should departures near villages be carried out?

• a.     Slow with a low propeller rotation speed
• b.     Climb and changes in direction should be done as slow as possible
• c.     Low and fast between the villages
• d.     . Villages should be circumnavigated and crossed in a sufficient altitude

Why is it dangerous to pump the throttle for engine start in cold weather?

• a.     . It may cause a carburettor fire
• b.     Carburettor icing can occur
• c.     The oil will become diluted
• d.     The engine might start with not enough power

May an engine, which previously was on fire, be restarted?

• a.     Yes, but only on the ground for the purpose of taxiing
• b.     . No, the risk of a reignition of the fire would be too high
• c.     Yes, but only if the cause of the fire was a carburettor fire during engine start
• d.     Yes, if the aircraft is flying at a safe altitude

Which gas is most dangerous during an engine fire?

• a.     Nitrogen
• b.     . Carbon monoxide
• c.     Carbon dioxide
• d.     Oxygen

What should be the first action in case of a cable fire during a flight?

• a.     Open cabin ventialtion
• b.     Open the windows
• c.     . Turn off the master switch
• d.     Close the fuel valve

What extinguishing agent is the least suitable for an aircraft fire?

• a.     . Water
• b.     Powder
• c.     Halon
• d.     Foam

In flight, a little smoke emerges from behind the instrument panel. An electrical fire is suspected. Which action, with respect to the pilot's operating manual, should be taken?

• a.     Turn off the heat
• b.     Use the fire extinguisher
• c.     Shut down the engine
• d.     . Turn off the master switch
