C. mindset.
5. To act as pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers, a pilot must show by logbook endorsement the satisfactory completion of a flight review or a pilot proficiency check within the preceding

A. A forced landing because of an engine failure.
B. Landing gear damage, because of a hard landing.
C. Flight control system malfunction or failure.
8. If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs?
A. 70-foot increase in indicated altitude.
B. 700-foot increase in indicated altitude.

Final Exam Answers
1. The correct answer is C. You are viewing the steady red light on the left wing tip and the flashing beacon on the tail. Therefore, the aircraft is crossing your path from right to left.
2. The correct answer is A. Takeoffs, climbouts, and power-on stall practice are three flight conditions where torque effect is most pronounced. Right rudder is required to counteract in all cases. Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 4.
3. The correct answer is A. The pilot must be provided with and use supplemental oxygen for that part of the flight that is more than 30 minutes duration, when above 12,500 feet msl. FAR 91.211(a)
4. The correct answer is A. Still one of the leading causes of accidents in general aviation is continuing VFR into IMC conditions. Scud running, or attempting to remain in visual conditions with lowering ceilings and visibilities, is often the culprit. Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 17
5. The correct answer is C. To act as PIC on any flight, whether carrying passengers or not, a pilot must have successfully completed a flight review, a pilot proficiency check, a phase of the Wings program, or a flight test within the preceding 24 calendar months. FAR 61.56.
6. The correct answer is B. A formation flight is a coordinated effort by all pilots who will be involved in the formation. FAR 91.111
7. The correct answer is C. NTSB part 830.5 requires immediate notification to an NTSB field office for a dozen various incidents, one of which is a flight control system malfunction or failure in flight.
8. The correct answer is B. Each inch of movement of the altimeter indication in the Kollsman window will yield an indicated altitude change of 1,000 feet. Changing the setting 0.7 inches, as in this example, will yield a 700 foot increase in indicated altitude. Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 7
