If your GPS recover is equipped with WAAS “ Wide Area Augmentation System” your position accuracy is

Answer 4

Less than three meters

Question 5

VSO is defined as the

Answer 5

Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration

Question 6

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a Standard rate turn to the right from at South heading in the Norther Hemisphere

Answer 6

The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring

Question 7

When the course deviation indicator […|…] needle is centered during an omnireciver check using a VOR test signal, the omnibearing selector and the To/From indicator should read

Answer 7

0* From or 180* To regardless of the pilots position from the VOG

Question 8

The term Angle of attack is defined as the angle

Answer 8

Between the wing chord line and the relative wind

Question 9

As the airplane slows down in flight the Angle of attack must be

Answer 9

Increase to maintain altitude

Question 10

If it is necessary to set the altimeter from from 29.15 ton29.85, what change occurs

Answer 10

700 foot increase in indicated altitude

Question 11

How is the stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration symbolized

Answer 11

VSO

Question 12

The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

Answer 12

Remains the same regardless of gross weight

Question 13

Which V speed represents Maximum landing gear extended speed

Answer 13

VLE

Question 14

What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on an airspeed indicator

Answer 14

Maneuvering speed

Question 15

As you are climbing to you cruise altitude you realize you forgot to lean the mixture control. What happens to fuel/air mixture entering the engine

Answer 15

The fuel-air mixture becomes richer because the density of air decreases while the amount of fuel remains constant

Question 16

Most US built aircraft engines rotate the propeller clockwise, as viewed from the pilots seat. When the aircraft wheels are on the ground during the takeoff roll, torque reaction causes

Answer 16

More weight to be placed on the left main landing gear.

When the aircraft wheels are on the ground during the takeoff roll, an additional turning moment around the vertical axis is induced by torque reaction. As the left side of the aircraft is being forced down by torque reaction more weight is being placed on the left main landing gear

Question 17

Lateral or roll stability is normally achieved by

Answer 17

The upward pits of the wings called dihedral

Question 18

An example of a category of aircraft would be

Answer 18

Transport Normal, and utility

Question 19

An example of a type of aircraft would be

Answer 19

DC-7, Cessna 172, and F-16

Question 20

Excessively high engine temperatures either in air or on the ground wil

Answer 20

Cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage

Question 21

What causes an airplane “except T tail” to pitch nose down when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted

Answer 21

The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced

Question 22

If “Receiver Autonomous Integrate Monitoring” (RAIM) capability is lost in flight

Answer 22

The pilot has no reassurance of the accuracy of the the GPS position

Question 23

What action can a pilot take to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating during a climb

Answer 23

Reduce rate of climb and increase airspeed

RCIA
Really, Cool, Infiniti, Auction
Reduce, Climb, Increase, Airspeed

Question 24

VSO is defined as the

Answer 24

Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration

Question 25

The purpose of the fuel tank vent system is

Answer 25

to allow air to enter as fuel is consumed to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the tanks

Question 26

How should the flight controls be held while taxing a trifle geared equipped airplane with a left quartering tailwind

__[]__
~>[]

Answer 26

Left Aileron down, elevator down

Question 27

What is angle of attack

Answer 27

A chord line of the wing and the relative wind

Question 28

Why would an aviation piston engine continue running after the ignition switch is placed in the off position

Answer 28

The magneto grounding wire is broken

Question 29

On a turn from a Northerly heading the compass will

Answer 29

Lag behind the airplane

When starting a turn from a northerly heading, the compass lags behind the turn

Question 30

What tool does crew resource management provide

Answer 30

The ability to recognize hazards and medigate risk
