quiz me on – PPL Law

Enroute Paraparaumu to Palmerston North, the aircraft is on track and allowing for 10 degrees right drift. What is the relative bearing to Palmerston North aerodrome?
010 degrees relative
Which of the following is the correct action following an inadvertent activation of an ELT?
Advise the nearest ATS unit of the occurrence
What is the maximum speed an aircraft can be operated at below 10,000 ft in Class G airspace unless the flight manual states a higher minimum safe speed?
250 kts

( from a question pool of 180 )

quiz me on – Human Factors

Two major factors for avoiding mid-air collisions are:
Situational awareness and visual scanning
Which definition is incorrect regarding the privileges of a ppl
may not act as pilot in command when carrying passengers unless a type rating for the aircraft is held
THE EFFECT YOU GET WHEN YOU LOOK AT A STEADY DISTANT LIGHT AT NIGHT AND IT STARTS TO MOVE AROUND ERRATICALLY IS CALLED:
Auto kinetic effect

( from a question pool of 110 )

quiz me on – Met Exam 2

What are the factors affecting slant range?
The density of impurities in the air and the heights and angle of the aircraft compared to the object.
How is a turbulence inversion formed?
As the surface temperature increases, the surface wind increases creating greater mixing. Air is forced up or down starting the adiabatic process. The inversion forms at about 600-800 ft.
What are the flight conditions like above an inversion?
Good visibility, smooth air above the inversion but wind shear and turbulence is usually experienced descending through the inversion layer.

quiz me on – Met Exam 1

How is wind reported in a METAR?
Degrees true and knots.
In terms of turbulence, what should pilots be cautious of when there is a strong north-westerly wind blowing across the Southern Alps?
Turbulence and rotor action on the leeward side.
How often are SPECIs issued?
Whenever weather deteriorates below predetermined minima.
