1. On aircraft equipped with fuel pumps, when is the auxiliary electric driven pump used?
A) All the time to aid the engine-driven fuel pump.
B) In the event the engine-driven fuel pump fails.
C) Constantly except in starting the engine.
2. An above glide slope indication from a tri-color visual approach slope indicator (VASI) is
A) a white light signal.
B) a green light signal.
C) an amber light signal.
3. After landing at a tower-controlled airport, when should the pilot contact ground control?
A) When advised by the tower to do so.
B) Prior to turning off the runway.
C) After reaching a taxiway that leads directly to the parking area.
4. The normal radius of the outer area of Class C airspace is
A) 5 nautical miles.
B) 15 nautical miles.
C) 20 nautical miles.
5. An electrical system failure (battery and alternator) occurs during flight. In this situation, you would
A) experience avionics equipment failure.
B) probably experience failure of the engine ignition system, fuel gauges, aircraft lighting system, and avionics equipment.
C) probably experience engine failure because of the loss of the engine-driven fuel pump and also experience failure of the radio equipment, lights, and all instruments that require alternating current.
6. Each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a VASI shall
A) maintain a three-degree glide to the runway.
B) maintain an altitude at or above the glideslope.
C) stay high until the runway can be reached in a power-off landing.
7. TRSA service in the terminal radar program provides
A) IFR separation (1,000 feet vertical and three miles lateral) between all aircraft.
B) warning to pilots when their aircraft are in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or other aircraft.
C) sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft.
8. When an air traffic controller issues radar traffic information in relation to the 12-hour clock, the reference the controller uses is the aircraft’s
A) true course.
B) ground track.
C) magnetic heading.
1. Answer B is correct. The majority of aircraft have an engine-driven fuel pump as well as an electrically driven back-up pump in the event the primary engine driven pump fails.
2. Answer C is correct. On a tri-color VASI, amber would indicate above the glideslope, green would indicate on glide-slope and red for below glideslope.
3. Answer A is correct. Ground control should not be contacted until directed to do so by the tower on the appropriate frequency.
4. Answer A is correct. Class C airspace areas generally have an outer procedural area five nautical miles wide. The entire Class C area is generally 10 miles in radius.
5. Answer A is correct. Failure of the battery and alternator will ultimately result in failure of the avionics equipment.
6. Answer B is correct. When approaching to land at a runway with a VASI, the pilot should remain at or above the glide-slope indication until maneuvering to land.
7. Answer C is correct. A TRSA is a voluntary radar service area surrounding an airport. Separation is provided to all participating VFR aircraft and all IFR aircraft.
8. Answer B is correct. The traffic advisories issued by the controller are in relation to the aircrafts ground track or magnetic course.
