(17) Choose the CORRECT answer (a) For greater certainty, where the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board cannot investigate a transportation occurrence, all other departments are prevented from investigating any aspect of the transportation occurrence so as not to interfere with the investigation at a later date by the board.
(b) Where the Board is notified of a transportation occurrence, it shall not forthwith provide particulars of the transportation occurrence to any minister responsible or not responsible for a department having a direct or indirect interest in the occurrence.
(c) On completion of any investigation, the Board shall prepare and make available only to the minister responsible its findings, including any safety deficiencies that it has identified and any recommendations that it considers appropriate in the interests of transportation safety.
(d) For greater certainty, where the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board does not investigate a transportation occurrence, no department is prevented from investigating any aspect of the transportation occurrence that it is empowered to investigate.

(18) A Minister who is notified of the findings and recommendations of the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board shall advise the Board in writing of

any action taken or proposed to be taken in response to those findings and recommendations. His action must be completed within (Choose the CORRECT answer):
(a) forty days after being so notified
(b) sixty days after being so notified
(c) ninety days after being so notified
(d) one month after being so notified

(19) The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board may, subject to the approval of the Governor in Council, make regulations: (Choose the FALSE answer)

(a) respecting the keeping and preservation of records, documents and other evidence relating to transportation occurrences;
(b) defining, for the purposes of an investigation, the site or sites of a transportation occurrence but not prescribing any rules for the protection of those sites;
(c) for defining the rights or privileges of persons attending investigations as observers or with observer status;
(d) respecting the tariff of fees and expenses to be paid to any witness attending at an investigation or at a public inquiry conducted and the conditions under which a fee or expenses may be paid to any such witness;

(21) Choose the FALSE answer

(a) The four main forces acting on an aircraft in flight are: Lift, Weight, Drag and Thrust. In a straight level un-accelerated flight, Lift equals Weight and Thrust equals Drag.
(b) When an aircraft turns to right of left in flight, it banks in the correct direct to avoid side slip. In this condition, the Lift is less than Weight and Thrust is greater than Drag.

(c) The three axes about which the aircraft rotates in flight are named: Pitch, Roll and Yaw.
(d) Systems on aircraft usually constitute 30% of the aircraft empty weight.

(22) Choose the CORRECT answer

(a) The Landing Gears of an aircraft have gears in them to speed up during takeoff and they work according to the anti-skid system.
(b) The systems on an aircraft can be divided into three main categories: Basic Systems, Payload Systems and Avionics Systems and are independent of each other.
(c) The Avionics Systems are information based and the Basic and the Payload Systems are energy based.
(d) APU stands for Auxiliary Power Unit and it works mainly when the aircraft is on ground and also during the takeoff and climb.

(23) Choose the CORRECT answer

(a) Engine feed pumps are often linked to the engine accessory gear box.
(b) Engine feed pumps are often directly linked to the engine shaft.
(c) The horizontal tail plane and the vertical tail plane of a big aircraft are rigidly fixed to the fuselage to ensure structural integrity strength.
(d) All the antennas of an aircraft are visible outside the body of the aircraft.

(24) Choose the CORRECT answer

(a) High lift systems of an aircraft allow safe takeoff and landing at low speeds and they are also used to prevent stalling during flight.
(b) Major subsystems in landing gear of large aircraft are: Extension/Retraction system, Steering system, Braking system and Anti-skid system.
(c) Major subsystems in landing gear of large aircraft are: Extension/Retraction system, Steering system, Braking system, Anti-skid system and Gearbox system.
(d) Functions of Environmental Control System are to control cabin pressure and air quality that includes oxygen content in the air.
