|---|
| 1481 | 1799 | When the static port is blocked by ice, the static pressure reaching the variometer remains frozen at the last value before blockage. Both sides of the variometer's measuring system receive the same trapped pressure, so no pressure difference develops. The instrument therefore reads zero regardless of whether the aircraft is actually climbing or descending. A (descent) and B (climb) would require changing static pressure inputs. |
|---|
| 1482 | 1800 | |

| 1616 | 1970 | Replacing a fuse with aluminum foil is strictly prohibited and extremely dangerous. A fuse is a precisely rated protection device designed to melt at a specific current, protecting the wiring and instruments from overcurrent damage. Aluminum foil has no defined current rating and will not interrupt the circuit during a short circuit, allowing excessive current to flow and potentially causing an electrical fire or destroying equipment. The aircraft must not fly until a proper fuse is installed. |

|---|
| .. | .. |
|---|
| 1768 | 2161 | |
|---|
| 1769 | 2162 | The automatic regulator on an on-demand oxygen system performs two key functions: it adjusts the air-to-oxygen mixture ratio according to altitude (higher altitudes require a richer oxygen mix to maintain adequate partial pressure), and it delivers oxygen only during inhalation, conserving the supply. This is far more efficient than continuous-flow systems. |
|---|
| 1770 | 2163 | - **B** describes a simple pressure reducer, not an automatic regulator. C and D describe partial functions but miss the altitude-dependent mixture adjustment and the on-demand delivery mechanism. |

|---|
| .. | .. |
|---|
| 2184 | 2672 | - **A** is wrong because the hook is designed to release, not to retain slack cable. |

|---|
| .. | .. |
|---|
| 2226 | 2724 | The correct answer is B because the calculation is: empty weight (255 kg) + pilot (100 kg) = 355 kg. If the maximum all-up mass is 450 kg, then the remaining capacity for water ballast is 450 - 355 = 95 kg, which equals approximately 95 litres (since water density is 1 kg/L). |
|---|
| 2227 | 2725 | |
|---|
| 2228 | 2726 | - **Option A** (90 L) and C (85 L) underestimate the available margin, while D (105 L) would exceed the maximum permitted mass. |
