[Ref: A-CR-CCP-242/PT-005 RCA Ops (PAC)O&I, Vol 2 Regional Flying Orders] a. 0, 1400 b. 1400, 2400 c. 1400, 134 d. 0, 100 8/19

9 7. You are on a Pilot Proficiency Program (PPP) flight in the glider practice area, over the Abbotsford airport (CYXX). After performing G sensation training, you plan to perform an incipient spin to test your recovery skills. You perform a safety check and confirm your altimeter reads 2500 feet ASL. You would have approximately feet remaining to perform and recover from the incipient spin in order to recover by the published minimum altitude of feet. [Ref: A-CR-CCP-242/PT-005 and RCA Ops (PAC)O&I, Vol 2 Regional Flying Orders] a. 500, 1500, AGL b. 300, 2000, ASL c. 300, 2000, AGL d. 500, 2000, AGL 8.

Combining a forward slip with use of full spoilers will result in a very rapid descent rate, at times increasing to 1,000 fpm or more. Waiting for the exact altitude before removing the control inputs for the slip will often result in descending below the intended flight path. TRUE or FALSE? [Ref: How to Glide Manual] a. True b. False 11. You are flying final approach at an indicated airspeed of 60mph with full spoiler extended. Your L/D ratio is? [Ref: AOI s] a. 6.1:1 b. 7.7:1 c. 23:1 d: 5:1 12.

With the consideration of terrain avoidance as a primary concern during recoveries from unusual attitudes like those resulting from a spin or spiral dive, the maximum G loading that a pilot may use after rolling the wings to the closest horizon is? [Ref: AOI s] a. 1.5G b G c. 2G d. 3G 9/19

10 14. With the consideration of terrain avoidance as a primary concern and the potential to over speed during recoveries from unusual attitudes like those resulting from a spin or spiral dive; select the correct statement below: [Ref: AOI s, How to Glide Manual] a. The 2-33 has terminal velocity spoiler/dive brakes; therefore, it is better to fully open spoiler/dives brakes to avoid over speeding the glider and favour a gentle 1.5g to 2 g pull out. Transport Canada has minimum altitudes for these types of maneuvers so terrain avoidance is not a concern. b. Pulling up assertively will minimize altitude loss and avoid contact with the ground. The 2-33 can sustain multiple G s pull. The induced drag resulting from the pull up will do more to prevent over-speeding than opening spoiler/dive brakes. c. The 2-33 does not have terminal velocity spoiler/dive brakes. Opening full spoiler/dive brakes has no effect on the maximum allowable rolling G a pilot can apply to the glider. It is better to open full spoiler/dive brakes to slow the gliders descent and is an acceptable recovery technique that contributes to minimum altitude loses. d. A pilot could not over stress a gliders wing by opening full spoiler/dive brakes while rolling wings level and pulling heavy G. 15. Which of the following approach speed ranges may produce such a high rate of descent - with dive brakes open that a proper flare for landing cannot be possible? [Ref: AOI s] a mph b mph c mph d mph 16. Glider pilots may give the take-up slack signal, [Ref: RCAOps (Pac) O&I, Vol 2, Regional Flying Orders] a. after the tow plane pilot has requested take-off clearance. b. before the tow plane pilot has requested take-off clearance. c. only after attentively monitoring the radio and positively hearing the tow pilot receive take-off clearance. d. both a and c. 17. Select the correct statement. [ACGPM] a. Passengers may follow through on the controls from takeoff through to touchdown. b. Passengers may follow through on the controls from takeoff through to release and remain clear of the controls beginning at the downwind check to touchdown. c. Passengers shall remain clear of the controls from release to the beginning of the downwind check and may follow through on the base leg to touchdown. d. Passengers shall remain clear of the controls from takeoff to release and beginning at the downwind check to touchdown. 18. When two gliders are entering the circuit at approximately the same time, to deconflict themselves; [Ref: RCAOps (Pac) O&I, Vol 2, Regional Flying Orders] a. the trailing glider should not extend the downwind leg of their circuit. b. the leading glider must not increase their IAS above 50 mph while on downwind. c. the trailing glider should extend the downwind leg of their circuit. d. aggressive handling is required to build separation. 19. During APC flights, glider pilots must demonstrate, [Ref: RCAOps (Pac) O&I, Vol 2, Regional Flying Orders] a. transitioning to low tow. b. boxing the wake. c. a cross wind take-off and landing. d. transitioning to, and maintaining, level flight on tow. 10/19

When a glider climbs on tow relative to the tow aircraft: [Ref: How to Glide] a. the glider s airspeed decreases causing the rate of climb to also decrease and can result in tow plane upset b. the glider s airspeed increases causing its rate of climb to also increase. If this is not controlled correctly it can result in tow plane upset. c. the tow aircraft becomes uncontrollable d feet is required for recovery 24. What is the minimum sinking rate for the SGS 2-33A, dual and solo at a gross weight of 1080lbs and 1040lbs?

13 END OF SECTION 2 Section 3: All Glider Instructors, Glider Check Pilots and Glider Standards Pilots. 1. All annual proficiency check flights, including the prescribed review flight, must be conducted with a qualified glider instructor check or standards pilot. True or False? [Ref: RCAOps (Pac) O&I, Vol 2, Regional Flying Orders] a. True b. False 2. A pilot must complete and pass both the open and closed book exams before the flying phase of an APC may commence. True or False? [Ref: A-CR-CCP-242/PT-005] a. True b. False 3. A pilot indicated as RED on the Pilot Training Record Completion Chart is authorized to fly under dual training only. True or False? [Ref: RCAOps (Pac) O&I, Vol 2, Regional Flying Orders] a. True b. False 4. Select the incorrect statement: [Ref: Definitions of Airmanship, RCAOps (Pac) O&I, Vol 2, Regional Flying Order and, ACGPM] a. Airmanship covers a broad range of desirable behaviors and abilities in an aviator and is often called judgement and consists of the ability to think and plan in the air. Airmanship can consist of all aspects of an individual s flying performance that might not be covered by established directives. Good judgement, common sense, situation awareness, planning, wind assessment, common courtesy, and lookout are examples of airmanship. Proper completion of required launch signals, ASCOT, and pre-landing checks are part of Airmanship. b. Airmanship is the consistent use of good judgment and well-developed skills to accomplish flight objectives. This consistency is founded on a cornerstone of uncompromising flight discipline and is developed through systematic skill acquisition and proficiency. A high state of situational awareness completes the airmanship picture and is obtained through knowledge of one s self, aircraft, environment, team and risk. c. There are four key Human Performance in Air Cadet Aviation (HPACA) elements that contribute to the assessment of Airmanship. These are; (1) Threat and Error Management, (2) Decision making (3) Compliance with Rules, Regulations, and SOPs and (4) Situational Awareness. d. Airmanship is considered a soft skill and can only be assessed by a check or instructor pilot s feeling of the student s ability to make decisions while flying the aircraft rather than observed behaviors or behavioral markers. 13/19

14 5. Select the most correct statement as it applies to Flight Safety (FS). [Ref: RCAOps (Pac) O&I, Vol 2 Ch2, Regional Flying Orders] The most significant element of an effective Flight Safety Program is a healthy flight safety culture. Everyone must: a. Positively contribute to the development of safe operating procedures, orders and regulations. This includes reporting FS hazards and occurrences, suggesting solutions, and cooperating with investigations without fear of blame or other adverse consequence. The leadership must consistently collect, analyze and share safety data across the organization. Identified FS hazards are eliminated or controlled; b. Engage in active risk management to mitigate the likelihood of FS hazards being realized as occurrences. All personnel shall maintain the highest level of ethical conduct by complying with safe operating procedures, orders and regulations. Airmanship and the FS culture are enhanced by fully engaging the Human Performance in Air Cadet Aviation (HPACA) Program and habitually practicing active Threat and Error Management (TEM). Personnel must be flexible and adaptable, exercise reasonable and prudent judgement, and always maintain a low level of risk tolerance; and c. Have the ability to learn from mistakes and FS occurrences. FS Occurrence reports are routinely reviewed and discussed with all personnel to identify the lessons learned. Continual professional learning and skill development must be practiced and supported on an individual level. The organization must engage in continuous improvement. Unintentional unsafe errors and acts are learning opportunities and not punished, whereas, recklessness and intentional unjustified risk taking is subject to discipline. d. All of the above. 6. Progress Cards. Select the best answer. When a progress card is completed as a part of a simulation: [Ref: RCA Ops (PAC) O&I, Vol 2 Regional Flying Orders,] a. no PLs or OFR shall be assigned b. no card is required c. the card shall be clearly labeled VOID d. none of the above is true 7. You are the instructor on a PPP flight. You have turned final too high for your position relative to the runway. The pilot flying (PF) is overshooting the ideal approach, but you believe the PF will land on the runway. As you continue to fly on final the actual aiming point in now more than half way down the runway and the PF is not making any noticeable corrections. The PF touches down and uses heavy breaking to stop the glider from rolling off the end of the runway. Choose the best statement below. [Ref: NIL] a. This is acceptable and the PF learned more by allowing them to fly to the extreme boundary of the safety limit on final. The glider landed and stopped on the runway. It is likely the PF will not make the same mistakes on the next flight. The glider is designed to be able to use strong braking to stop quickly. b. This is satisfactory as the PF is a current pilot and the glider landed and stopped within a usable landing area of the airport. The PF may fly solo after debriefing. c. You have allowed the PF to violate the learning limit of the circuit and safety limits of final approach, leading to overshooting the correct final leg and an unacceptably long landing. It is likely that minor coaching or instruction on the down wind or early base legs could have kept the PF within the learning limits. In any case, you as an instructor have allowed the PF to fly outside the acceptable, safety limit expected of an ACGP instructor pilot. d. The PF is current therefore the instructor is not responsible for overshooting the landing area. 14/19
