A special VFR clearance authorizes the pilot of an aircraft to operate VFR while within Class D airspace when the visibility is n A. at least one mile and the aircraft can remain clear of clouds. n B. at least three miles and the aircraft can remain clear of clouds. n C. less than one mile and the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet.
What is the minimum weather condition required for airplanes operating under special VFR in Class D airspace? n A. three miles flight visibility and 1,000-foot ceiling. n B. one mile flight visibility and 1,000-foot ceiling. n C. one mile flight visibility.
If the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected? n A. The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and turn-and-slip indicator. n B. The altimeter, attitude indicator, and turn-and-slip indicator. n C. The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator. What effect does high density altitude have on propeller efficiency and why? n A. Efficiency is reduced due to the increased force of the propeller in the thinner air. n B. Efficiency is increased due to less friction on the propeller blades. n C. Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes.
What is the definition of density altitude? n A. The altitude read directly from the altimeter. n B. The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature. n C. The height above the standard datum plane.
A non-tower satellite airport, within the same Class D airspace as that designated for the primary airport, requires radio communications be established and maintained with the n A. associated flight service station. n B. primary airport?s control tower. n C. satellite airport?s unicom.
A blue segmented circle on a sectional chart depicts which class of airspace? n A. Class D. n B. Class C. n C. Class B. Which statement best defines hypoxia? n A. An abnormal increase in the volume of air breathed. n B. A condition of gas bubble formation around the joints or muscles. n C. A state of oxygen deficiency in the body.
Airspace at an airport with a part-time control tower is classified as Class D airspace only n A. when the associated flight service station is in operation. n B. when the associated control tower is in operation. n C. when the weather minimums are below basic VFR.
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use n A. regularly spaced concentration on the 3-, 9-, and 12-o?clock positions. n B. a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 30-degree sector. n C. peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.
