1. 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.
2. 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 on a VFR flight plan.
C. receives an amended clearance or has an emergency.
3. Where can an aircraft’s operating limitations be found?
A. In the current, FAA-approved flight manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or
any combination thereof.
B. In the airframe and engine logbooks.
C. On the airworthiness certificate.
4. No person may operate an aircraft that has an Experimental airworthiness certificate
A. under instrument flight rules (IFR).
B. when carrying only property for hire.
C. when carrying persons or property for compensation or hire.
5. The correct method of stating 4,500 feet msl to ATC is
A. “Forty-five hundred feet msl.”
B. “Four point five.”
C. “Four thousand five hundred.”
6. Which is the correct way to initiate a radio call to a ground station?
A. Unicom at Frederick…
B. Washington Center…
C. Miami Ground Control…
7. During operations at altitudes of more than 1,200 feet agl and at or above 10,000 feet msl, the minimum distance above clouds requirement for VFR flight is
A. 500 feet.
B. 1,000 feet.
C. 1,500 feet.
8. VFR cruising altitudes are required to be maintained when flying
A. at 3,000 feet or more agl; based on true course.
B. more than 3,000 feet agl; based on magnetic course.
C. at 3,000 feet or more msl; based on magnetic heading.
1. The correct answer is A. Pilots must establish radio communications with the tower, and receive a clearance for takeoffs and landings, at all towered controlled airports regardless of weather conditions. (Federal Aviation Regulation 91.129)
2. The correct answer is C. Requesting an amended clearance and receiving one are two different things; once received, a pilot may then fly the amended clearance. Operating an aircraft contrary to an ATC instruction is approved in an emergency. Pilots are also approved to deviate if in response to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory. (FAR 91.123)
3. The correct answer is A. For many aircraft, section 2 of the flight manual includes operating limitations, as do aircraft information manuals (approved manual material). Markings can be on the instrument panel or on the instruments, radios, or switches. Placards come in various forms including stick-on and painted on. (FAR 91.9(b))
4. The correct answer is C. FAR 91.319 prohibits the carriage of both people and property for compensation or hire in aircraft with Experimental airworthiness certificates. Although specifically limited to day VFR operations, the FAA may authorize IFR flights under the same rule.
5. The correct answer is C. Sections 4-2-8 and 4-2-9 of the Aeronautical Information Manual clarify the proper way to pronounce numbers such as altitudes, airways, digits, flight levels, and radio frequencies.
6. The correct answer is B. AIM section 4-2-6 instructs pilots, when calling a ground station, to begin with the name of the facility being called, followed by the type of facility being called. A table is provided for reference. The other correct responses would be Frederick Unicom and Miami Ground.
7. The correct answer is B. The question is referring to operations in Class G airspace, and under FAR 91.155(a), 1,000 feet of clearance is required above clouds, as well as five statute miles visibility. With a few exceptions where “clear of clouds” is permitted, the distance above clouds is 1,000 feet for most VFR operations.
8. The correct answer is B. VFR cruising altitudes are prescribed for level flight above 3,000 feet above the surface (agl), and are based on the magnetic course being flown. (FAR 91.159)
