PPL Safety and Emergency Procedures 3

Question 1

After a total electrical failure in VFR conditions, what should the pilot do to reach the airport?

Continue navigating visually and use light gun signals at the tower

Answer

With no radio, the pilot navigates visually and watches for tower light gun signals.

Question 2

What transponder code indicates a general emergency?

Accepted Answer

7700

Answer

Squawk 7700 alerts ATC to a general in-flight emergency.

Question 3

During an aborted takeoff, what is the most important immediate action after reducing power?

Accepted Answer

Apply brakes and maintain directional control

Answer

After closing the throttle, braking while keeping the aircraft straight stops it safely on the runway.

Question 4

If a door pops open shortly after takeoff, what is the recommended pilot response?

Accepted Answer

Fly the airplane and land normally before securing the door

Answer

An open door is a distraction, not a control emergency, so continue flying and land to fix it.

Question 5

What is the correct recovery from an unintentional spin?

Accepted Answer

Power idle, ailerons neutral, opposite rudder, then elevator forward

Answer

The PARE technique—power, ailerons, rudder, elevator—breaks the autorotation of a spin.
