Question 1 of 6

1. Question
Which altimeter setting would the pilot use if they want the altimeter to read zero when the aircraft is at airfield elevation?
- QFE
- QNH
- QTE
- QNE
Correct

Incorrect
Question 2 of 6

2. Question
You are maintaining an indicated altitude of 2000ft on the regional QNH of 1001hPa. The air mass you are flying within has the ISA temperature structure. You fly into an area where the temperature is cooler than ISA. If the QNH and your subscale setting do not change, your:
- True altitude is lower than the 3,500ft altimeter indication
- True altitude is not possible to determine from the information given
- True altitude is higher than the 3,500ft altimeter indication
- True altitude is equal to the 3,500ft altimeter indication
Correct

Incorrect
Question 3 of 6

3. Question
You are currently flying at 1,300ft above mean sea level, with the QNH of 989hPa set in the altimeter. As you fly towards an area of higher pressure, you should expect:
- True altitude to increase
- True altitude to decrease
- True altitude to remain constant
- True altitude to be displayed on the altimeter
Correct

Incorrect

4. Question
Which altimeter setting should be used to display your altitude above mean sea level?
- QNH
- QFE
- SPS
- 1013hPa
Correct

Incorrect
Question 5 of 6

5. Question
When should a pilot use (a) QNH, and (b) the standard pressure setting?
- (a) below the transition altitude, (b) above the transition layer
- (a) above the transition altitude, (b) below the transition layer
- (a) below the transition altitude, (b) below the transition layer
- (a) above the transition altitude, (b) above the transition layer
Correct

Incorrect
Question 6 of 6

6. Question
How should a pilot set their altimeter and communicate their altitude when flying above the transition layer?
- The altimeter should be set to 1013hPa. The indicated altitude should be communicated as a flight level. For example, an indicated altitude of 6,000ft is communicated as: FL60
- The altimeter should be set to QNH. The indicated altitude should be communicated as an altitude. For example, an indicated altitude of 6,000ft is communicated as: Altitude 6,000 feet
- The altimeter should be set to QNH. The indicated altitude should be communicated as a flight level. For example, an indicated altitude of 6,000ft is communicated as: FL60
- The altimeter should be set to 1013hPa. The indicated altitude should be communicated as an altitude. For example, an indicated altitude of 6,000ft is communicated as: Altitude 6,000 feet
