Question

The most important thing to do first after a rope break is:

Answers

regain flying attitude and airspeed.

turn back to make a safe landing.

avoid hitting the tow plane by turning right.

turn into the wind.

Feedback

Question

If there is a glider above your altitude in a thermal you wish to enter, which direction should you turn in the thermal?

Answers

The opposite direction to the other glider for better visibility.

The direction doesn't matter.

Only one glider is allowed in a thermal at a time.

The same direction as the other glider.

Question

On aerotow in a turn, the longitudinal axis of the glider should point at:

Question

What is the best action when getting low on a cross-country glider flight?

Answers

Continue on course until 1000 ft.AGL and then enter a landing pattern.

Fly into the wind making a straight in approach to a field.

Have a suitable landing area selected at 2000 ft. AGL, and a specific field chosen upon reaching 1500 ft. AGL.

Stay on course until 600 ft. AGL after which thermalling is dangerous.

Question

The best way of determining the pitch of a glider is by:

Answers

using the airspeed indicator.

observing the altimeter.

observing the attitude relative to the horizon.

looking at the yaw string.

Feedback

Question

If the tow plane loses power on take-off at 100 feet AGL:

Answers

you should perform a formation landing with the tow plane.

keep low to prevent stress on the tow plane.

release and perform a downwind landing on the runway.

release and prepare to land ahead to the right.

Question

For winching what is the advantage in using a CofG hook over a nose hook?

Answers

A shallower climb angle can be used during launch.

The control stick force(elevator) is less with a CG hook.

The wing loading is increased.

The glider is less likely to pitch if there is a break.

Feedback

Question

The danger in making steep turns close to the ground is that:

Answers

excess speed may build up.

you may overshoot the runway.

there is no danger if done properly.

a wind gradient may be present and the aircraft may stall.

Question

On final approach in a cross-wind in a low-wing glider you should:

Answers

use a sideslip for drift control and line up the nose of the aircraft along the runway after the round out.

use a crab on approach and throughout the landing to the touchdown.

use a crab for drift control and line up the nose of the aircraft along the runway after the flare.

fly off to the side of the runway away from the crosswind.

Feedback

Question

Proper recovery technique from a steep diving spiral to the left is to:

Answers

relax the back pressure on the stick and roll the glider level to the right with co-ordinated use of the controls.

apply up-elevator pressure to raise the nose.

apply more up-elevator pressure and then use right aileron pressure to control the over banking tendency.

apply more up-pressure and right rudder pressure.

Feedback

Question

Why is speed control important in landing over obstacles in short fields?

Answers

High speed landings may cause stone damage to the hull.

It is very easy to overshoot and hit the far boundary.

It is very easy to undershoot and hit the obstacle.

With low speeds, any tendency to lose speed may result in a stall.
