Aviation

• Ground Control clears you to taxi to a specific runway for departure. You should:

  Taxi to the nearest intersection with that runway and hold short
• An aircraft leaving ground effect during takeoff will...

  experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance.
• What is ground effect?

  The result of the interference of the surface of the Earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane.
• Extending the flaps does what to the speed?

  Lowers the stalling speed.
• What effect does high density altitude, as compared to low density altitude, have on propeller efficiency and why?

  Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes.
• An airport's rotating beacon operated during daylight hours indicates?

  that the weather at the airport is below basic VFR weather minimums.
• Stall speed is increased by:

  Turns and maneuvering.
• Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI?

  Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area.
• When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI), the pilot shall

  maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.
• What is a limitation of using a GPS without RAIM capability?

  The pilot would not be alerted that the navigation solution had deteriorated and an undetected navigation error could occur.
• When may an 121.5 MHz emergency locator transmitter (ELT) be tested?

  During the first 5 minutes after the hour.
• What input is required to maintain altitude during steep turns?

  Back pressure on the yoke.
• Which would provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance during climb after takeoff?

  Vx
• Which description below accurately describes the colors used for airports on a Sectional Chart?

  Airports with control towers are shown in blue.
• Which is true regarding the benefits of using GPS for navigation?

  While GPS has many benefits to the VFR pilot, care must be exercised to ensure that system capabilities are not exceeded.
• During a night flight, you observe steady red and green lights ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

  The other aircraft is flying away from you.
• A prohibited area is airspace designated under part 73 within which:

  No person may operate an aircraft without the permission of the using agency.
• In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate


  correctly when on a north or south heading.
• After takeoff, which airspeed would the pilot use to gain the most altitude in a given period of time?

  Vy
• What instrument is affected in a glass cockpit airplane when the Air Data Computer (ADC) fails?

  Airspeed Indicator
• Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

  certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.
• What does a positive indication tell you on an ammeter?

  The charging rate of the battery
• How is the stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration symbolized?


  VS0
• Low-level turbulence can occur and icing can become hazardous in which type of fog?

  Steam fog.
• What must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect?

  Induced drag decreases; therefore, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable floating.
• The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

  remain the same regardless of gross weight.
• Outside controlled airspace, the minimum flight visibility requirement for VFR flight above 1,200 feet AGL and below 10,000 feet MSL during daylight hours is

  1 Mile
• A prohibited area is airspace designated under part 73 within which:

  No person may operate an aircraft without the permission of the using agency.
• No person may use an ATC transponder unless it has been tested and inspected within at least the preceding

  24 calendar months.
• The air/fuel ratio (AFR) is the measurement of:

  The ratio of weight of air to the weight of fuel in the mixture.
• If an aircraft is equipped with a fixed-pitch propeller and a float-type carburetor, the first indication of carburetor ice would most likely be

  loss of RPM.
• When flying through the lateral and vertical boundaries of Class C or B airspace, what additional equipment is your aircraft required to have installed, if any?

  ADS-B Out equipment.
• Detonation occurs in a reciprocating aircraft engine when

  the unburned charge in the cylinders explodes instead of burning normally.
• An airspace of defined dimensions, extending from 3 nautical miles outward from the coast of the United States, that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft is called:

  A warning area.
• Steady precipitation preceding a front is an indication of

  Stratiform clouds with little or no turbulence.(Precipitation from stratiform clouds is usually steady and there is little or no turbulence)
• How is engine operation controlled on an engine equipped with a constant-speed propeller?

  The throttle controls power output as registered on the manifold pressure gauge and the propeller control regulates engine RPM.
• ATC advises, "traffic 2 o`clock." This advisory is relative to your:

  ground track.
• Military flight operations should a pilot expect along IR 644

  Military training routes that include one or more segments above 1,500' are identified with _ number characters with speeds in excess of _ knots.

  3 & 250
• In the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when


  the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.

  (Acceleration / deceleration error is most pronounced on a heading of east or west. ANDS, Accelerate, North, Decelerate, South.)
• When flying in a VFR corridor designated through Class B airspace, the maximum speed authorized is

  200 knots
