CADET Pilot 5

Question 1

During a preflight inspection, a pilot notices ice forming on the wings. What is the correct action?

Accepted Answer

De-ice the aircraft before flight

Answer

Ice must be removed from the aircraft before takeoff as it disrupts airflow over the wings and reduces lift.

Question 2

What is the function of flaps on an aircraft?

Accepted Answer

Increase lift and drag for takeoff and landing

Answer

Flaps extend from the wing to increase both lift and drag, allowing the aircraft to fly slower during takeoff and landing.

Question 3

A sectional chart shows an airspace depicted with a blue dashed line. What type of airspace does this represent?

Accepted Answer

Class D airspace

Answer

A blue dashed line on a sectional chart indicates Class D airspace, typically surrounding airports with control towers.

Question 4

When flying at night, a pilot sees a red light on the left and a green light on the right of another aircraft. What can the pilot conclude?

Accepted Answer

The other aircraft is flying toward them

Answer

Red is on the left (port) and green on the right (starboard) of an aircraft; seeing red-left and green-right means the aircraft is approaching head-on.

Question 5

What is the approximate cruising altitude limit below which an aircraft does NOT require supplemental oxygen for the pilot in Canada?

Accepted Answer

12,500 feet

Answer

Canadian aviation regulations require supplemental oxygen for the pilot if flying above 12,500 feet MSL for more than 30 minutes.
