No person may operate an aircraft in formation flight

The airship
When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the right-of-way belongs to the aircraft

Glider
When aircraft has right-of-way overall other air traffic?
An aircraft in distress
What action should the pilots of a glider and an airplane take if on a head-on collision course?
Both pilots should give way to the right
What action is required when two aircraft of the same category converge, but on head-on?
The aircraft on the left shall give way
Which aircraft has the right of way over the other aircraft listed?
Aircraft towing other aircraft
A seaplane and a motorboat are on crossing courses. If the motorboat is to the left of the seaplane, which has the right of way?
The seaplane
When flying a VFR corridor designated through Class B airspace, the maximum speed authorized is
200 kts
Unless otherwise authorized, what is the maximum indicated airspeed at which a person may operate an aircraft below 10,000 feet MSL?
250 kts
When flying in airspace underlying Class B airspace, the maximum speed authorized is
200 kts
Unless otherwise authorized, the maximum indicated airspeed at which aircraft may be flown when at or below 2,500 feet AGL and within 4 nautical miles of the primary airport of Class C airspace is
200 kts
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude for a pilot to operate an aircraft anywhere?
An altitude allowing, if a power until fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude for a pilot to operate an aircraft over congested areas?
An altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, an aircraft may not be operate closer than what distance from nay person, vessel, vehicle, or, structure?
500 feet
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over other than a congested area?
An altitude of 500 feet AGL, except over open water or a sparsely populated area, which requires 500 feet from any person, vessel, vehicle or structure.
According to 14 CFR part 91, at what minimum altitude may an airplane be operated unless necessary for takeoff and landing?
An altitude allowing for an emergency landing without undue hazard, if a power until fails
Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting?
Th current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport elevation
If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot adjust the altimeter?
The elevation of the departure area
At what altitude shall the altimeter be set to 29.92 when climbing to cruising flight level?
18,000 feet MSL
When would a pilot be required to submit a detailed report of an emergency which caused the pilot to deviate from an ATC clearance?
Within 48 hours if requested by ATC
If an in-flight emergency requires immediate action, the PIC may
Deviate from any rule of 14 CFR part 91 to the extent required to meet that emergency
As PIC of an aircraft, under which situation can you deviate from ATC clearance?
In response to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory
When an ATC clearance has bee obtained, no PIC may deviate from that clearance unless the pilot obtains an amended clearance. The one exception to this regulation is
An emergency
What action, if any, is appropriate if the pilot deviated from an ATC inspection during an emergency and is given priority?
File a detailed report within 48 hours to the chief to the appropriate ATC facility, if requested.
As PIC of an aircraft, you may deviate from an ATC clearance when
There is an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action
What is the specific fuel requirement for flight under VFR at night in an airplane?
Enough toffy to the first point of intended landing and to fly after that for 45 mins at normal cruising speed.
What is the specific fuel requirements for flight under VFR during daylight hours in an airplane?
Enough to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after that for 30 mins at normal cruising speed
