Which statement best describes the operating principle of firewire?
- APositive coefficient of resistance, negative coefficient of capacitance
- BPositive coefficient of inductance, negative coefficient of impedance
- CPositive coefficient of capacitance, negative coefficient of resistance
Why that is the answer
A firewire is a continuous-loop overheat/fire detector routed around an engine, APU or other fire-risk zone, so heating anywhere along the sensing element can be detected.
Its electrical properties change as temperature rises. In the system described by this question, heating causes capacitance to increase while resistance decreases, and the warning unit monitors that change.
Memory point for this item: heat ↑ → capacitance ↑ and resistance ↓, which is the characteristic represented by the selected option.

Which type of fire extinguisher would be employed on a propane fire?
- AFoam
- BDry powder
- CSand
Why that is the answer
Fire-extinguishing agents are chosen according to the type of burning material because different agents cool, smother or interrupt the chemical reaction in different ways.
Using an unsuitable agent can be ineffective or can spread the fire, so the approved aircraft/fire-class procedure is what ultimately governs the choice.
The supplied source key marks foam. For a propane/gas fire, standard fire-class guidance normally favours a suitable dry-powder agent; keep this source key for the bank, but verify it against your approved DGCA/aircraft reference.

Identify the correct answer: on what principle do smoke detectors work?
- AIonization and impedance
- BOptical and ionization
- CInductance and light diffraction
Why that is the answer
Aircraft smoke detectors commonly sense smoke either optically or by ionization rather than by measuring temperature alone.
An optical detector reacts when smoke scatters or obscures light; an ionization detector reacts when smoke changes the electrical current through an ionized air path.
That operating principle is why the answer refers to optical and ionization.

Frequently asked
How many Sample Paper 1 questions are there for the DGCA CPL Technical General paper?
Avielevate's bank carries 189 published Sample Paper 1 questions for Technical General, mapped across 2 learning objectives. Every one has its answer key, and explanations are being written across the whole bank.
How much of the Technical General paper is Sample Paper 1?
The DGCA does not publish a per-chapter breakdown of its papers, so nobody can honestly tell you — and we will not guess. What we can tell you is what students who have just sat a paper reported meeting, which is measured rather than rumoured: that is the exam recall report inside the app.
What is the best way to revise Sample Paper 1?
Sit a short timed set on this chapter alone, tag how sure you were of each answer, then drill the two that actually leak marks: the ones you got right while guessing, and the ones you got wrong while confident. Avielevate does that tagging for you and puts anything you got wrong back in front of you on a spaced schedule.
