1. Which wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nosewheel equipped high-wing airplane?
B. Direct crosswind.
C. Quartering tailwind.
2. Which factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport?
A. An increase in ambient temperature.
B. A decrease in relative humidity.
C. An increase in barometric pressure.
3. During the runup 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?
A. Check the results obtained with a leaner setting of the mixture.
B. Taxi back to the flight line for a maintenance check.
C. Reduce manifold pressure to control detonation.
4. Crests of standing mountain waves may be marked by stationary, lens-shaped clouds known as
A. standing lenticular clouds.
B. mammatocumulus clouds.
C. roll clouds.
5. Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?
A. In colder than standard air temperature.
B. When density altitude is higher than indicated altitude.
C. In warmer than standard air temperature.
6. What effect does high density altitude, as compared to low density altitude, have on propeller efficiency and why?
A. Efficiency is reduced due to the increased force of the propeller in the thinner air.
B. Efficiency is increased due to less friction on the propeller blades.
C. Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes.
7. If an aircraft is loaded 90 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight and fuel (aviation gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained?
A. 12 gallons.
B. 15 gallons.
C. 10 gallons.
8. What document(s) must be in your personal possession or readily accessible in the aircraft while operating as pilot in command of an aircraft?
A. A pilot certificate with an endorsement showing accomplishment of an annual flight review and a pilot logbook showing recency of experience.
B. Certificates showing accomplishment of a checkout in the aircraft and a current biennial flight review.
C. An appropriate pilot certificate and an appropriate current medical certificate if required.
9. The danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions may be reduced by
A. having faith in the instruments rather than taking a chance on the sensory organs.
B. shifting the eyes quickly between the exterior visual field and the instrument panel.
C. leaning the body in the opposite direction of the motion of the aircraft.
10. Under what condition, if any, may pilots fly through a restricted area?
A. When flying on airways with an ATC clearance.
B. With the controlling agency's authorization.
C. Regulations do not allow this.
