b. That are susceptible to Dutch roll.
c. That are susceptible to phugoid flight.
d. That do not have swept wings.

3. An automatic stabiliser trim system:


a. Adjusts the position of the elevators to align with the horizontal stabiliser.
b. Adjusts a trim tab on the elevators to reduce elevator deflection.
c. Adjusts the position of the horizontal stabiliser to centralise the elevators.
d. Can only be engaged after the autopilot system has been engaged.

4. The altitude alert system will provide:


a. An aural and visual alert that commences when the aircraft is within 900 ft of the selected
altitude and continues until it is within 300 ft of the selected altitude.
b. An aural and visual alert that commences when the aircraft is within 900 ft of the selected
altitude and repeats when it is within 300 ft of the selected altitude.
c. An aural alert that sounds for 2 seconds when the aircraft is within 900 ft of the selected
altitude and a visual alert that remains illuminated until the aircraft is within 300 ft of the
selected altitude.
d. An aural alert that sounds for 2 seconds when the aircraft is within 600 ft of the selected
altitude and a visual alert that remains illuminated until the aircraft is within 300 ft of the
selected altitude.

d. SHF 4200 MHz±4400 MHz

6. The sweep rate of a radio altimeter is, typically:


a. High, to avoid interference with other aircraft transmissions.
b. Low, to avoid height ambiguity.
c. Low, because the transmitter and receiver are not co-located.

7. The accuracy of a radio altimeter is given as:


a. +1 ft or +5% of the indicated height, whichever is the lesser.
