1. In addition to other preflight actions for a VFR flight away from the vicinity of the departure airport, regulations specifically require the pilot in command to:
A. review traffic control light signal procedures.
B. check the accuracy of the navigation equipment and the emergency locator transmitter.
C. determine runway lengths at airports of intended use and the aircraft’s takeoff and landing distance data.
2. Preventive maintenance has been performed on an aircraft. What paperwork is required?
A. A full, detailed description of the work done must be entered in the airframe logbook.
B. The date the work was completed, and the name of the person who did the work must be entered in the airframe and engine logbook.
C. The signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the work and a description of the work must be entered in the aircraft maintenance records.
3. What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane?
A. The effectiveness of the horizontal stabilizer, rudder, and rudder trim tab.
B. The location of the center of gravity with respect to the center of lift.
C. The relationship of thrust and lift to weight and drag.
4. The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the
A. abruptness at which the load is applied.
B. position of the center of gravity.
C. speed of the airplane.
5. How should a VFR flight plan be closed at the completion of the flight at a controlled airport?
A. The pilot must close the flight plan with the nearest FSS or other FAA facility upon landing.
B. The tower will relay the instructions to the nearest FSS when the aircraft contacts the tower for landing.
C. The tower will automatically close the flight plan when the aircraft turns off the runway.
6. No person may operate an aircraft in aerobatic flight when
A. less than 2,500 feet above ground level.
B. flight visibility is less than five miles.
C. over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement.
7. Unless otherwise specified, Federal Airways include that Class E airspace extending upward from
A. the surface up to and including 18,000 feet mean sea level.
B. 1,200 feet above the surface up to and including 17,999 feet msl.
C. 700 feet above the surface up to and including 17,999 feet msl.
8. FAA advisory circulars containing subject matter specifically related to airmen are issued under which subject number?
A. 60.
B. 70.
C. 90.
1. The correct answer is C. FAR 91.103 also requires that pilots check weather reports and forecasts, fuel requirements, alternatives available, and known traffic delays.
2. The correct answer is C. Logbook entries after preventive maintenance has been performed are detailed in FAR 43.9.
3. The correct answer is B. With the center of gravity forward of the center of lift, and with an aerodynamic tail-down force, the aircraft usually tries to return to a safe flying attitude. Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, page 4-14
4. The correct answer is C. An airplane flying close to stall at a high angle of attack and slow airspeed can withstand very little additional applied load before the wing stalls. Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 4
5. The correct answer is A. Regardless of the type of airport at which the flight terminates, it is the responsibility of the PIC to close the VFR flight plan. FAR 91.153
6. The correct answer is C. For aerobatic flight, FAR 91.303 also prohibits flight over an open air assembly, within class B, C, D, and surface E airspace, within 4 nautical miles of the center line of any airway, below an altitude of 1,500 feet above the surface, and when visibility is less than three statute miles.
7. The correct answer is B. A Federal Airway is eight nautical miles wide, normally begins at 1,200 feet above the surface, and continues up to but not including 18,000 feet msl.
8. The correct answer is A. Advisory circulars are numbered relevant to the pertinent parts of the federal aviation regulations they are associated with. The 60 series of advisory circulars cover part 60 for flight simulators, part 61 for pilots, part 63 for nonpilot crewmembers, part 65 for airman other than flight crewmembers, and Part 67 for medical standards.
