1. Information concerning parachute jumping sites may be found in the
A. notams.
B. Airport/Facility Directory.
C. graphic notices and supplemental data.
2. If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster
A. airspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and better control throughout the landing roll.
B. groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point.
C. groundspeed at touchdown, a shorter ground roll, and the likelihood of undershooting the desired touchdown point.
3. How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?
A. The other aircraft will always appear to get larger and closer at a rapid rate.
B. The nose of each aircraft is pointed at the same point in space.
C. There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft.
4. Unless otherwise authorized, two-way radio communications with air traffic control are required for landings or takeoffs
A. at all tower-controlled airports regardless of weather conditions.
B. at all tower-controlled airports only when weather conditions are less than VFR.
C. at all tower-controlled airports within Class D airspace only when weather conditions are less than VFR.
5. A pilot in command of a civil aircraft may not allow any object to be dropped from that aircraft in flight
A. if it creates a hazard to persons and property.
B. unless the PIC has permission to drop any object over private property.
C. unless reasonable precautions are taken to avoid damage to property only.
6. A proper crosswind landing on a runway requires that, at the moment of touchdown, the
A. direction of motion of the airplane and its lateral axis be perpendicular to the runway.
B. direction of motion of the airplane and its longitudinal axis be parallel to the runway.
C. downwind wing be lowered sufficiently to eliminate the tendency of the airplane to drift.
7. Helicopter A is overtaking helicopter B. Which helicopter has the right of way?
A. Helicopter A; the pilot should alter course to the right to pass.
B. Helicopter B; the pilot should expect to be passed on the right.
C. Helicopter B; the pilot should expect to be passed on the left.
8. After an ATC clearance has been obtained, a pilot may not deviate from that clearance, unless the pilot
A. requests an amended clearance.
B. is operating in VFR conditions.
C. receives an amended clearance, has an emergency, or responds to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory.
Final Exam Answers
1. The correct answer is B. The presence of parachute jumping activities at an airport is noted in the FAA’s Airport/Facility Directory. Additionally, a small parachute symbol is shown on sectional charts to denote an airport where jumping activities may be found. (Aeronautical Information Manual Chapter 3-5-4)
2. The correct answer is B. A downwind landing, if flown at the same indicated airspeed as an upwind landing, will be at a higher groundspeed at touchdown. The ground roll will likely be longer, and the potential of overshooting the desired touchdown point is increased.
3. The correct answer is C. If you observe another aircraft that has no apparent relative motion and stays in one scan quadrant, these are the best clues that the other aircraft is on a potential collision course with your aircraft. If the other aircraft shows no lateral or vertical motion, but increases in size, take evasive action. (AIM Chapter 8-1-8e)
4. The correct answer is A. Regardless of weather conditions, when an ATC tower is open and operational, two-way radio communication with ATC is required for takeoffs and landings. (FARs 91.126(d), 91.127(c), 91.129(c), 91.130(c), 91.131(c))
5. The correct answer is A. Objects may be dropped from an aircraft as long as reasonable precautions are taken to avoid injury or damage to persons or property. (FAR 91.15)
6. The correct answer is B. At the moment of touchdown, the upwind wing must be held down and opposite rudder applied so the direction of motion of the airplane and its longitudinal axis are both parallel to the runway. (Flight Training Handbook Chapter 9)
7. The correct answer is B. Each aircraft that is being overtaken has the right of way, and each pilot of an overtaking aircraft shall alter course to the right to pass well clear. (FAR 91.113(f))
8. The correct answer is C. A pilot may request an amended clearance but, until approved by ATC, deviation from the original clearance is not permitted. Operating in VFR conditions is no authority to deviate from an ATC clearance, if one had been previously received. (FAR 91.123)
