All 12 questions — DA-42 NG: Emergency & Abnormal Procedures
Technical Specific · DGCA CPL. The correct option is marked on each.
Q1. Following an engine failure in flight, the correct sequence of actions is:
- A.Secure, identify, verify, control
- B.Control, identify, verify, secure✓
- C.Identify, secure, control, verify
- D.Verify, secure, identify, control
Why: Fly the aeroplane first, and never shut anything down before verifying which engine has failed.
Q2. The failed engine is identified by:
- A.Dead foot, dead engine✓
- B.The engine that is vibrating most
- C.The lower fuel gauge
- D.The higher oil temperature
Why: The leg doing no work to keep straight is on the failed side. Confirm with the power lever before securing.
Q3. After an engine failure the aircraft should be flown at:
- A.VMCA, 76 KIAS
- B.VYSE, 85 KIAS✓
- C.VNO, 151 KIAS
- D.Best glide speed
Why: The blue line gives the best single-engine climb while keeping a safe margin above the minimum control speed.
Q4. During single-engine flight, the correct technique is to:
- A.Fly wings level with the ball centred
- B.Bank about 3° to 5° towards the live engine, with about half a ball deflection✓
- C.Bank 10° towards the dead engine
- D.Use rudder trim only, with no bank
Why: This reduces drag and lowers the control speed.
Q5. If the oil pressure has not risen into the green range shortly after starting, you should:
- A.Continue and monitor
- B.Shut the engine down immediately✓
- C.Increase the RPM
- D.Wait two minutes
Why: Shut the engine down immediately.
Q6. In flight, an oil pressure indication that drops below the green range while the oil temperature stays normal most probably indicates:
- A.Imminent engine failure
- B.A defective indication or probe✓
- C.Loss of all engine oil
- D.A gearbox failure
Why: A genuine loss of oil pressure is normally accompanied by a rise in oil temperature.
Q7. The warning L/R OIL PRES indicates that oil pressure has fallen below:
- A.0.9 bar (with current system software)✓
- B.2.5 bar
- C.4.0 bar
- D.6.5 bar
Why: 0.9 bar with current software; earlier software triggers the warning at 1.5 bar.
Q8. In the event of a double alternator failure, the pilot should:
- A.Continue to destination
- B.Shed electrical load and land within about 30 minutes✓
- C.Shut down one engine
- D.Switch off the ECUs
Why: That is roughly how long the backup batteries will keep the engines running.
Q9. The caution CHECK GEAR indicates:
- A.The gear is down and locked
- B.The gear is not down and locked✓
- C.The gear doors are open
- D.The hydraulic pump has failed
Why: The gear is not down and locked.
Q10. The caution L/R COOL LVL indicates:
- A.Cabin temperature is low
- B.Engine coolant level is low✓
- C.The cooling fan has failed
- D.De-icing fluid is low
Why: Engine coolant level is low.
Q11. The advisory L/R GLOW ON indicates:
- A.The landing lights are on
- B.The glow plugs are powered✓
- C.The strobe lights are on
- D.The engine is overheating
Why: Normal during the diesel pre-heat and start sequence.
Q12. If a loss of power occurs because a power lever has crept from its set position, the correct action is to:
- A.Feather that engine
- B.Adjust the friction lock✓
- C.Enrich the mixture
- D.Select crossfeed
Why: Adjust the friction lock.
