Compas Test ATPL 2026

Ice contamination of the wing upper and lower surface may cause. A reduction in stall margins and possible poor lateral control on takeoff. A loss of lift and pitch control on the ground. An increase in the calculated thrust setting required for takeoff.

If no meteorological information is available for the destination, the operator must: Select two destination alternates. Not take-off until obtaining destination meteorological forecast. Take extra fuel to fly one hour at holding speed, 1500 ft above the alternate aerodrome.

An aircraft flies through the base of an active cumulonimbus cloud. The pilot might expect it to experience. A strong updraught only under the cloud base. A downdraft followed by an updraught and then another downdraft. An updraft followed by a downdraft and then another updraft.

4. Dutch roll at high altitude is prevented in modem airliners by. Fitting full time yaw dampers. Automatically decreasing the rudder authority above 250kts IAS. Fitting swept up winglets at the wing tips.

An aircraft has two certified landing flaps positions, 25" and 35. If a pilot chooses 25* instead of 35°, the aircraft will have: An increased landing distance and better go-around performance. A reduced landing distance and better go-around performance. A reduced landing distance and degraded go-around performance.

6. When calculating takeoff performance speeds. Vmcg should be greater than V1. Vmcg should be less than or equal to V1. Vmcg must be greater than V1 by 30%.

On the runway taking off in a strong crosswind from the right a swept wing jet airliner will tend to. Yaw (weather vane) to the right. Yaw (weather vane) to the left. Drift off the centreline downwind.

Immediately after takeoff in a swept wing airliner such as the 737 the left engine fails. The aircraft will tend to. Yaw and roll to the right. Yaw right and pitch nose up. Yaw left and roll left.

After landing in rain on a runway promulgated as 'Slippery when wet your aircraft starts to diverge from the runway centreline. What action do you take to stop the drift?. Cancel reverse thrust. Use full opposite rudder to control the drift. Use differential reverse thrust until the nosewheel steering becomes effective.

After landing on a dry runway which is the most effective retardation device?. The airbrakes / spoilers. Reverse thrust. The antiskid brakes.

The use of high pressure bleed air from the compressor for anti-icing will. Decrease engine operating temperatures and thrust. Increase fuel consumption. Have no effect on jet engine performance.

What is the definition of Required Navigation Performance (RNP)?. A statement of the navigation performance required during a pilot skill test. A statement of the navigation performance necessary during flight tests for a new aircraft type. A statement of the navigation performance necessary for operation within a defined airspace.

Engine icing is most likely to occur. At any time when the outside air temperature is 1 degrees celsius or below. When flying if visible moisture such as rain or fog is present. When visible moisture is present and the total air temperature is 10 degrees Celsius or below.

In the cruise at high altitude when flying into an area of known turbulence you would. Stop the cabin service and fly at the turbulence speed. Secure the cabin and cockpit, select turbulence speed and maintain a constant attitude. Secure the cabin and cockpit and descent at Mmo / Vmo.

The symptoms of windshear may include. Loss of altitude, airframe buffet, a high rate of descent combined with excessive pitch attitudes. A significant change of airspeed, divergence from the required flight path, normal control inputs insufficient to maintain the flight path. Loss of airspeed, increasing rate of descent and pre-stall buffet.

While in the holding pattern waiting to land you notice that the total fuel in tanks has fallen below company minimum reserves. What action would you take?. Declare a 'Fuel emergency' and set the transponder to 7600. Declare an emergency and request assistance from ATC. Advise ATC and your company that you are immediately diverting to your designated alternate.

Dew point is defined as. The temperature to which moist air must be cooled to become saturated at a given pressure. The lowest temperature at which evaporation will occur for a given pressure. The lowest temperature to which air must be cooled in order to reduce the relative humidity.

A pilot approaching an upslope runway: May feel that he is higher than actual. This illusion may cause him to land short. Is performing a steeper than normal approach, landing long. Establishes a higher-than-normal approach speed.

At 1700 feet on an ILS approach the GPWS sounds 'Whoop, whoop, pull up, pull up'. Would you. Check the ILS glideslope is within one dot and cross check altitude with the radio altimeter. Immediately go around following the standard missed approach procedure, inform ATC. Cancel the GPWS, check on the glidepath and increase thrust as a precaution.

Considering subsonic incompressible airflow through a Venturi, which statements are correct or incorrect? 1) The static pressure in the throat is lower than in the undisturbed airflow 2) The speed of the airflow in the throat is lower than in the undisturbed airflow. 1) is correct, 2) is correct. 1) is correct, 2) is incorrect. 1) is incorrect, 2) is incorrect.

Considering subsonic incompressible airflow through a Venturi, which statements are correct or incorrect? 1) The static pressure in the throat is lower than in the undisturbed airflow. 2) The speed o[ the airflow in the throat is lower than in the undisturbed airflow. 1) is correct, 2) is correct. 1) is correct, 2) is incorrect. 1) is incorrect, 2) is incorrect.

Before starting the final descent on an NDB approach you would. Tune the beacon and calculate the required rate of descent. Monitor the beacon identification and descend when on the runway heading. Ensure that you are within +/- 5 degrees of the inbound QDM.

While in a descent under radar control you receive a TCAS resolution advisory (RA). You would. Continue with the descent, advise ATC of the RA and look out for other aircraft. Continue the descent but turn 90 degrees off the assigned heading and advise ATC. Manoeuvre following the RA guidance and advise ATC.

If you lose control of the aircraft during landing, how do you control it. Yaw (weather vane) to the right. full opposite rudde. Control roll left.

At what distance from the stop end of the runway do the centre line lights change from red/white to red?. 900m. 600m. 300m.

Taxyway lighting consists of. Green centre line lights with blue edge lighting. Green centre line lights with green edge lights on corners. White centre line lights with red edge lights on corners.

While in the holding pattern waiting to land you notice that the total fuel in tanks has fallen below company minimum reserves. What action would you take?. Advise ATC and your company that you are immediately diverting to your designated alternate. Declare a 'Fuel emergency' and set the transponder to 7600. Declare an emergency and request assistance from ATC.

Senior cabin crew member notice traces of smoke in the passenger cabin but can not positively identify its source of origin. The aircraft commander is notified and after the relevant abnormal checklist has been completed, his/her action will normally be to. Divert to the nearest aerodrome. Activate the passenger oxygen system and proceed to the nearest alternate aerodrome. Use the hand fire extinguishers by applying their contents into the area where the smoke is coming from.

At 900 feet on a manually flown ILS approach you notice the handling pilot has let the aircraft drop below the glidepath Would you. Verbally warn the handling pilot, monitor the response and look for a correction. Verbally warn the handling pilot and take control immediately. Verbally warn the handling pilot, increase thrust and lightly cover the controls.

When dealing with a complex emergency the first officer should. Carry out all the captain's orders without further discussion. Carry out only orders that are in accordance with company standard operating procedures. Try to discuss with the captain any orders that are unclear or confusing.
