Q1. The requirement to carry a GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) concerns aeroplanes which are, depending on their age, weight and passenger capacity : 1- turboprop-powered 2- piston-powered 3- jet-powered The combination regrouping all the correct statements is :
1, 3
Q2. If the GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) activates, and alerts the pilot with an aural warning “DON’T SINK” (twice times), it is because :
during take-off or missed approach manoeuvre, the aircraft has started to loose altitude.
Q3. The Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GWPS) Mode 1 is activated when
the barometric descent rate is excessive with respect to the aircraft height above the terrain.
Q4. The operation of the GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) is governed by laws taking the aircraft height into account as well as: 1- the descent rate 2- the climb rate 3- the aircraft configuration 4- the selected engine rpm. The combination of correct statements is:
1, 3
Q5. The Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GWPS) Mode 3 is activated when
an excessive height loss is experienced after take-off or during go-around.
Q6. A transport airplane is compelled to carry on board a Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS). This system will warn the crew in case of: 1 – keeping the altitude at a lower level than the one shown in the flight plan entered in the FMS. 2 – dangerous ground proximity. 3 – loss of altitude during take-off or missed approach. 4 – wrong landing configuration. 5 – excessive glidepath deviation.
2, 3, 4, 5
Q7. The Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) is a system working according to a height span ranging from :
50 ft to 2 500 ft
Q8. The Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GWPS) Mode 4 is activated when
an unsafe terrain clearance situation is experienced, with the aircraft not in the landing configuration.
Q9. If an aircraft is flying (with flaps and landing gear retracted) in proximity to terrain and its GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) get activated, because it is detecting that the aeroplane has an excessive rate of descent, the system provides the following aural warning signals :
“SINK RATE, SINK RATE” followed by “WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP” (twice)
Q10. The Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) generates the following sound signal or signals when the aircraft is sinking after a take-off or a go-around :
DON’T SINK repetitive only
Q11. The inputs to the GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System), are: 1- Air Data Computer – (Mach number and Vertical Speed) 2- Radio Altimeter 3- NAV/ILS (Glide Slope) 4- NAV/VOR 5- Flap (position) 6- Angle of Attack 7- Landing Gear (position) The combination of correct statement is:
1,2,3,5,7
Q12. A Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) generates automatically a distinct warning to the flight crew with aural and/or light warning signals in the case of: 1- an excessive rate of descent with respect to terrain 2- a dangerous proximity to the ground 3- a loss of altitude following take-off or go-around 4- an abnormal flight attitude 5- an abnormal landing configuration. The combination regrouping the correct statements is:
1, 2, 3, 5 and 6.
Q13. The Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GWPS) Mode 2 is activated when
the aircraft is flying into rising terrain.
Q14. The GPWS calculator receives the following signals : 1 – vertical speed 2 – radio altimeter height 3 – pressure altitude 4 – glidepath deviation 5 – gear and flaps position 6 – angle of attack The combination regrouping all the correct statements is :
1,2,4,5
Q15. A ground proximity warning system (GPWS), when mandatorily installed on board an aircraft, must in all cases generate :
at least one sound alarm to which a visual alarm can be added
Q16. The GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) is active for a height range from:
50 ft to 2 500 ft measured by the radio altimeter.
Q17. The GPWS calculator is able to operate in the following modes : 1- excessive descent rate 2- excessive rate of terrain closure 3- excessive angle of attack 4- too high descent attitude 5- loss of altitude after take-off 6- abnormal gear/flaps configuration 7- excessive glidepath deviation The combination regrouping all the correct statements is:
1,2,5,6,7
Q18. The Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GWPS) Mode 5 is activated when
when the aircraft is significantly below the ILS glidepath.
Q19. The GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) releases a warning in the following cases : 1- excessive rate of descent 2- excessive ground proximity rate 3- loss of altitude after take-off or go-around 4- abnormal gear/flaps configuration 5- excessive deviation under the glidepath 6- abnormal airbrakes configuration The combination regrouping all the correct statements is:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
