Piltdown Man,
With reference to Fergal's explanation above, how do you reason D when there are a number of secondary controls that move the aircraft around the axis? Out of the choice available D would require you to consider flaps, trim, etc.

Perhaps this is a classic example of translation from one of the JAA member states which is the root of the confusion.
When viewed like that one would be inclined to choose the most correct answer which would be as KW mentioned above - d.
Dunno, just think aloud.

Ground School Exam Questions & Question Banks
Bonjourno,
Just a quick question regarding various ATPL question banks for exam preparation. As far as I am aware, accessing my
groundschool provider's question bank will entail me staying online whist answering questions. Seeing as I usually give quite a lot
of thought time in to the questions I am looking at racking up a hell of a phone bill this quarter. And BT get enough of my money
anyway. So, short of getting broadband, are there any other options? Have looked at buying Oxford's 2000question CD-ROM at
£35 scoobies as an alternative/addition.
Cheers

PS ATPL Theory..it's just sooo much fun.

OAT CD
I had a look at OATs CD, some questions are ok but 2000 is nothing for 14 exams, you need much bigger bank then that. Also some questions are repeated for different sections??

Thanks for your advice/help,
Might try AOL but I aint no fan of huge giants like them. Have found a way though. BGS question bank - save the first question page as an archive file and don't delete your temporary internet files. That way, you can scroll through and answer them all whilst staying offline. I think it's gonna work..?

I am using the Bristol online question bank and for that one you just need to be online until the set of questions you have selected has been retrived (cached).

IMHO I'm assuming that the question is related to aviation and not English. If it is a trick question, then you have to bust the question apart. The question uses the definite article, therefore D is correct. If the word "The" is removed, then C is correct. The question is "What is the exact wording of the question?"

Another fine example of a JAR question testing an applicants ability to answer a question rather than test their knowledge of aviation. Do they think this type of questioning saves lives in a crisis?

AOL takes over your computer and annoys the hel out of me - basic broadband is so cheap now it's well worth it. £15 a month is about the going rate I think...

AOL Unlimted dial up is £15.99 a month. Wanadoo Broadband is £17.99 a month, so isn't it worth an extra 50p a week for the speed?

AOL dial up. Fixed monthly fee. Unlimited access. Can't say fairer than that. They will even give you the first month free.

I have to sit 4 exams to convert my ICAO licence to a DCA one. The exams are based on UK International CAA. I have a complete set of study books ie FCL CAA, albeit the anwers to the progress tests. It looks like this set of study papers was Version 4. If anybody has the answers it would be much appreciated. Alternatively where could I go online to sit some practice exams? Its for a CPL (H) but have to sit the (A) version; need HPL, Radio Aids, Flight Planning and Loading
Thanks

Found this question:
You're flying with 1.4 x Vs. What is the maximum bank angle before stall occurs?
a) 60°
b) 30°
c) 32°
d) 44°
I keep getting answer a) 60° but my feedback marks d) as the right one. Can anyone help me?

By memory I believe that the stall speed increases with load factor according to these key numbers:
30° bank about 7%
45° bank about 19%
60° bank about 41%
75° bank about 100%
And at 60° bank the load factor is 2 (2G), so i would also go with your conclusion.

To answer the question you need to know two things:
(1) Stall speed increases by the square root of the load factor
(2) In a turn, load factor can be calculated using the formula:
load factor = 1/(cos angle of bank)
Firstly we work out what load factor we would need to stall at 1.4 Vs: 1.4 x 1.4 = 2. Now we know that the load factor required is 2, we can work out the angle of bank that would achieve that load factor. If we rearrange the formula we get: cos angle of bank = 1/load factor; 1/2 = 0.5. Cos-1 0.5 = 60, so (a) is the correct answer.
If you you forget that stall speed increases by the square root of the load factor, rather than the load factor itself, then you get answer (d).
Hope that helps

When do you use a non-radar separation of 5nm?
When do you use a radar separation of 5nm?
Can't remember which one the question asked, i think it was non radar separation
a)heavy heavy, think its 4nm
b)medium heavy
c)light heavy
d)light medium

Better answered probably on the air tragic forum.
However from memory:
Radar sep. normally 5nm, but can be less if the radar system is approved and the a/c is within 50nm of the radar head. Also sep. on final approach will generally be less than 5nm, but this is wake vortex sep. not lateral sep.

Ground School Exam Questions & Question Banks
Hi, could I have peoples opinions on the following question:
An aircraft is descending from FL410 to FL270 at the cruise Mach number. It then continues to descend from FL270 to FL100 at the IAS reached at FL270. Assume that the engines are idling, the configuration is clean and ignore any compressibility effect.
How does the angle of descent change in those two height bands respectivily:
a) increases, decreases
b) increases, remains constant
c) decreases, increases
d) remains constant, decreases
Any ideas? Thanks alot
