INITIAL CABIN CREW TRAINING REAL
EXAM QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS LATEST UPDATE
What happens to the air pressure the higher we find ourselves? --
CORRECT ANSWER--The air pressure gets lower. Reduces oxygen
molecule density
What is decompression? --CORRECT ANSWER--A loss of cabin
pressure within the aircraft cabin. The air becomes equal to the
outside air requiring supplemental O2
Wings are built aerodynamically - why? --CORRECT ANSWER--To
provide the optimum lifting force possible
What 4 factors are the wings lifting capacity depended on? --
CORRECT ANSWER--Profile (increase the curve of the top of the
wing), size (surface of the wing), angle of incidence (angle of attack)
and velocity

,What is the purpose of winglets? --CORRECT ANSWER--Reduce
the potential for vortexes to occur at the tip of wings
What is the purpose of flaps? --CORRECT ANSWER--Flaps ensure
greater wing volume and change the angle of attack, improving the
lift force at low speeds in air
What is the purpose of slats? --CORRECT ANSWER--To increase
lift: The angle of attack can be increased without air "slipping" and in
this way reduce the necessary speed during take-off and landing
What is the purpose of spoilers? --CORRECT ANSWER--Increase
drag (breaks the plane) and reduce lift. Used when landing
(descending) to decrease velocity rapidly
What does the abbreviation ICAO stand for? --CORRECT
ANSWER--International Civil Aviation Organization
What does the ICAO develop? --CORRECT ANSWER--Aviation
stardards and procedures

, What are EASA's responsibilities? --CORRECT ANSWER--Ensures
high safety standards in European aviation.
(Monitors the implementation of standards through inspections and
provides the necessary technical expertise, training and research)
What does the Civil Aviation Authorities do? --CORRECT
ANSWER--Implementing and customizing national and international
regulations.
Explain what the term «TUC» is --CORRECT ANSWER--Time of
meaningful conciousness. Describes the maximal time you have to
take rational, life-saving decisions and actions
Explain how a jet engine works --CORRECT ANSWER--Intake,
compression, combustion, exhaust. (In a jet engine the air is sucked in
through the engine's front opening with the aid of the engine's
compressor. This compresses the air and forces it into the combustion
chamber. Here, the compressed air is mixed with fuel and ignited. The
heat now causes the air to expand quite considerably and with
significant force departs through the only possible exit, the engine's
back opening. On the way out, it passes the engine's turbine and sets
this in rotation.)
