Operating limitations and Registration Certificate.
When must batteries in an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) be replaced or recharged, if rechargeable?
When the ELT has been in use for more than 1 cumulative hour.
When may an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) be tested?
During the first 5 minutes after the hour.

When must the battery in an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) be replaced (or recharged if the battery is rechargeable)?
After one-half the battery’s useful life.
You are conducting your preflight of an aircraft and notice that the last inspection of the emergency locator transmitter was 11 calendar months ago. You may
depart because the ELT is within the inspection requirements.

Sunset to sunrise.
Unless each occupant is provided with supplemental oxygen, no person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S. registry above a maximum cabin pressure altitude of
15,000 feet MSL.
When operating an aircraft at cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet MSL up to and including 14,000 feet MSL, supplemental oxygen shall be used during
that flight time in excess of 30 minutes at those altitudes.
An operable 4096-code transponder with an encoding altimeter is required in which airspace?
Class A, Class B (and within 30 miles of Class B primary airport), and Class C.
An operable 4096-code transponder and Mode C encoding altimeter are required in
Class B airspace and within 30 miles of the Class B primary airport.
Your transponder is inoperative. In order to enter Class B airspace, you must submit a request for a deviation from the
controlling ATC facility at least 1 hr. before the proposed flight.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out is mandated for aircraft operations in
Class A, B and C airspace.
Which of the following flights may be made without ADS-B Out equipment installed?
a VFR flight that departs a class D airport, cruises in Class E airspace at 7,500 ft. MSL, and arrives at another Class D airport.
What type of ADS-B equipment is required in Class A airspace?
ADS-B Out that operates on the frequency 1090 MHz.
With certain exceptions, when must each occupant of an aircraft wear an approved parachute?
When intentionally pitching the nose of the aircraft up or down 30 degrees or more.
A parachute composed of nylon, rayon, or other synthetic fibers must have been packed by a certificated and appropriately rated parachute rigger within the preceding
180 days.
An approved parachute constructed of natural fibers may be carried in an aircraft for emergency use if it has been packed by an appropriately rated parachute rigger within the preceding
60 days.
Which is normally prohibited when operating a restricted category civil aircraft?
Flight over a densely populated area.
Unless otherwise specifically authorized, no person may operate an aircraft that has an experimental certificate
over a densely populated area or in a congested airway.
Who is responsible for ensuring Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are complied with?
Owner or operator.
The responsibility for ensuring that an aircraft is maintained in an airworthy condition is primarily that of the
owner or operator.
You are PIC of a flight and determine that the aircraft you planned to fly has an overdue Airworthiness Directive (AD). Which of the following is an appropriate decision?
You cancel the flight and have the aircraft scheduled for maintenance.
The responsibility for ensuring that maintenance personnel make the appropriate entries in the aircraft maintenance records indicating the aircraft has been approved for return to service lies with the
owner or operator.
Who is responsible for ensuring appropriate entries are made in maintenance records indicating the aircraft has been approved for return to service?
Owner or operator.
If an alteration or repair substantially affects an aircraft’s operation in flight, that aircraft must be test flown by an appropriately-rated pilot and approved for return to service prior to being operated
with passengers aboard.
Before passengers can be carried in an aircraft that has been altered in a manner that may have appreciably changed its flight characteristics, it must be flight tested by an appropriately-rated pilot who holds at least a
Private Pilot Certificate.
A 100-hour inspection was due at 3302.5 hours. The 100-hour inspection was actually done at 3309.5 hours. When is the next 100-hour inspection due?
3402.5 hours.
An aircraft’s annual condition inspection was performed on July 12, this year. The next annual inspection will be due no later than
July 31, next year.
What aircraft inspections are required for rental aircraft that are also used for flight instruction?
Annual condition and 100-hour inspections.
An aircraft had a 100-hour inspection when the tachometer read 1259.6. When is the next 100-hour inspection due?
1359.6 hours.
No person may use an ATC transponder unless it has been tested and inspected within at least the preceding
24 calendar months.
Maintenance records show the last transponder inspection was performed on September 1, 2014. The next inspection will be due no later than
September 30, 2016.
Completion of an annual condition inspection and the return of the aircraft to service should always be indicated by
an appropriate notation in the aircraft maintenance records.
To determine the expiration date of the last annual aircraft inspection, a person should refer to the
aircraft maintenance records.
Which records or documents shall the owner or operator of an aircraft keep to show compliance with an applicable Airworthiness Directive?
Aircraft maintenance records.
