SACAA PPL Principles of Flight Practice Questions - SACAA Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) Principles of Flight Theoretical Knowledge Examination Exam - SACAA PPL Principles of Flight Practice Questions - SACAA Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) Principles of Flight Theoretical Knowledge Examination Exam

Question 1

In the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA), what are the sea-level temperature and pressure used as the reference?

15 °C and 1013.25 hPa 0 °C and 1000 hPa 20 °C and 1013.25 hPa 15 °C and 29.92 hPa

Correct Answer:

15 °C and 1013.25 hPa

Question 2

As altitude increases in the troposphere under ISA conditions, what generally happens to air density?

It decreases It remains constant It increases It doubles every 1000 ft

Correct Answer:

It decreases

Question 3

Density altitude is best described as:

Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature (and humidity effects where considered) True altitude above mean sea level Indicated altitude with QNH set Flight level always equal to pressure altitude

Correct Answer:

Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature (and humidity effects where considered)

Question 4

If temperature increases while pressure altitude stays the same, what happens to air density?

Density decreases Density increases Density is unchanged Density becomes equal to ISA density

Correct Answer:

Density decreases

Question 5

Approximate ISA temperature lapse rate in the troposphere is closest to:

2 °C per 1000 ft 10 °C per 1000 ft 1 °C per 100 ft 5 °C per 1000 m only, never per 1000 ft

Correct Answer:

2 °C per 1000 ft
