B. Class C.
C. Class E.
3. Excessively high engine temperatures will
A. not appreciably affect an aircraft engine.
B. cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage.

B. primary airport's control tower.
C. satellite airport's UNICOM.
7. During the run-up at a high-elevation airport, a pilot notes a slight engine roughness that is not affected by the magneto check but grows worse during the carburetor heat check. Under these circumstances, what would be the most logical initial action?

B. a drop in oil temperature and cylinder head temperature.
C. loss of RPM.
9. What change occurs in the fuel/air mixture when carburetor heat is applied?
A. A decrease in RPM results from the lean mixture.
B. The fuel/air mixture becomes leaner.
