Final Exam Answers
1. The correct answer is B. FAR 61.57 requires pilot landing currency only if passengers are to be carried. The pilot has to confirm that he has made at least three takeoffs and landings within the preceding 90 days, prior to taking any passenger aloft.
2. The correct answer is B. If a pilot is not current to carry passengers at night, FAR 61.57 allows that pilot to carry passengers only up to, but not beyond, one hour after sunset.
3. The correct answer is B. The red line on the airspeed indicator is the never-exceed speed, a speed that must not be exceeded under any circumstances. (FAR 1.1 )
4. The correct answer is B. Regulations require that operating limitations and a registration certificate be carried on board the aircraft for all flight operations. (FAR 91.9 and 91.203 )
5. The correct answer is C. Although night operations require extra vigilance by the pilot, the aircraft does not know that it is dark. The pilot should make approaches at night the same as during the day.
6. The correct answer is A. FAR 91.215 requires a transponder and altitude reporting equipment for operations in class A, B, and C airspace, and within the mode C veil surrounding Class B airspace.
