2. What action can a pilot take to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating during a climb?
A. Reduce rate of climb and increase airspeed.
B. Reduce climb speed and increase RPM.
C. Increase climb speed and increase RPM.
3. How does frost affect the lifting surfaces of an airplane on takeoff?
A. Frost may cause the airplane to become airborne with a lower angle of attack at a lower indicated airspeed.
B. Frost may prevent the airplane from becoming airborne at normal takeoff speed.
C. Frost will change the camber of the wing, increasing lift during takeoff.
4. Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is
A. heavily loaded.
B. developing lift.

C. two quick, white flashes between green flashes.
6. What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a Military Operations Area (MOA)?
A. Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.
B. Operate only on the airways that traverse the MOA.
C. Obtain a clearance from the controlling agency prior to entering the MOA.
7. A special VFR clearance authorizes the pilot of an aircraft to operate VFR while within Class D airspace when the visibility is
A. at least 1 mile and the aircraft can remain clear of clouds.
B. at least 3 miles and the aircraft can remain clear of clouds.
C. less than 1 mile and the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet.
8. One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to
A. permit a touchdown at a higher indicated airspeed.
B. increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.
C. decrease the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.

A. ordering those desired from the Government Printing Office.
B. distribution from the nearest FAA district office.
C. subscribing to the Federal Register.
11. In regard to privileges and limitations, a private pilot may
