1. Which incident requires that an immediate notification be made to the nearest NTSB field office?
A. An in-flight generator or alternator failure.
B. An overdue aircraft that is believed to have been involved in an accident.
C. An in-flight radio communications failure.
2. 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
A. a drop in oil temperature and cylinder head temperature.
B. engine roughness.
C. a loss of RPM.
3. In regard to privileges and limitations, a private pilot may
A. not pay less than the pro rata share of the operating expenses of a flight with passengers provided that the expenses involve only fuel, oil, airport expeditures, or rental fees.
B. act as pilot in command of an aircraft carrying a passenger for compensation if the flight is in connection with a business or employment.
C. not be paid in any manner for the operating expenses of a flight.
4. Excessively high engine temperatures will
A. not appreciably affect an aircraft engine.
B. cause damage to heat-conducting hoses and warping of the cylinder cooling fins.
C. cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage.
5. For internal cooling, reciprocating aircraft engines are especially dependent on
A. air flowing over the exhaust manifold.
B. the circulation of lubricating oil.
C. a properly functioning thermostat.
6. Why is frost considered hazardous to flight?
A. Frost slows the airflow over the airfoils, thereby increasing control effectiveness.
B. Frost changes the basic aerodynamic shape of the airfoils, thereby decreasing lift.
C. Frost spoils the smooth flow of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capability.
7. When does P-factor cause the airplane to yaw to the left?
A. When at high airspeeds.
B. When at low angles of attack.
C. When at high angles of attack.
8. The left turning tendency of an airplane caused by P-factor is the result of the
A. gyroscopic forces applied to the rotating propeller blades acting 90? in advance of the point at which the force was applied.
B. propeller blade descending on the right producing more thrust than the ascending blade on the left.
C. clockwise rotation of the engine and the propeller turning the airplane counter-clockwise.
9. Automatic terminal information service (ATIS) is the continuous broadcast of recorded information concerning
A. nonessential information to reduce frequency congestion.
B. noncontrol information in selected high-activity terminal areas.
C. pilots of radar-identified aircraft whose aircraft are in dangerous proximity to terrain or to obstructions.
