7
There are 60 passengers and crew members on board a turbo-prop aircraft. its speed is 240 kt. at a point along the course steered, above the sea, the aircraft is at 1h45 min from an airdrome suitable for emergency landing. the minimum equipment complying with regulations is :
60 life jackets and three 30-seat life boats |
8
In accordance with jar-ops 1 and if necessary, the number of liferafts to be found on board an aircraft must allow the transportation of the entire aircraft occupants:
In the case of a loss of one raft of the largest |
9
In accordance with the jar-ops and with the exception of amphibians and hydroplanes, the carriage of a life jacket per person on board is compulsory when the airplane is : 1. cruising at such a distance from the shore that it would not be able to return in the case of an engine failure. 2. is flying over a water surface at more than 50 nm off shore. 3. is using departure and arrival paths above the water and when a ditching probability exists in the case of a problem. 4. is flying over a stretch of water at more than 100 nm off shore. the combination regrouping all the correct statements is:
2, 3 |
10
The number of hand fire extinguishers which have to be installed in the passenger cabin according to jar-ops depends on the number of :
Seats in the cabin. |
11
The pyrotechnic means used in case of an emergency to indicate your position to the emergency teams are a flare:
Which is used at night and a smoke device which is used in the daytime. |
12
The portable emergency beacons which are used after an emergency landing or ditching have a duration of :
48 h |
13
An aircraft whose maximum approved configuration for passenger seats is 200 seats must be equipped with:
3 manual fire- extinguishers in the passenger cabin. |
14
The emergency lighting system must be able to function and supply a certain level of lighting after the main electric power system has been cut off for at least:
10 minutes |
15
A public transport passengers aircraft, with a seating configuration of more than 61 seats, must have in its passenger compartment(s), at least 3 portable fire- extinguishers including:
2 halon fire- extinguishers. |
16
A turboprop aeroplane is performing an overwater flight, which takes it further than 340 nm away from an aerodrome where an emergency landing could be performed. normal cruising speed is 180 kt. one engine out airspeed is 155 kt.
Life jackets must be available for all occupants. |
17
An operator shall not operate an aeroplane certicated to jar25, across an area in which search and rescue would be especially difficult, without survival equipment if it flies away from an area suitable for making an emergency landing at a distance greater than :
90 minutes at cruising speed. |
18
In a pressurized transport aircraft, the protective breathing equipment:
Protects the members of the crew against fumes and noxious gases. |
19
The purpose of a trim tab (device) is to:
Reduce or to cancel control forces. |
20
The advantages of fly- by-wire control are: 1. reduction of the electric and hydraulic power required to operate the control surfaces 2. lesser sensitivity to lightning strike 3. direct and indirect weight saving through simplification of systems 4. immunity to different interfering signals 5. improvement of piloting quality throughout the flight envelope the combination regrouping all the correct statements is :
3 and 5 |
21

The elevators are with servo-tabs or trim tabs. |
22
An artificial feel unit system: control unit.
Must be mounted in parallel on an irreversible servo- |
23

25
Which of these signals are inputs, at least, in the stall warning computers?
Angle of attack and flaps and slats deflection. |
