Which is true regarding flight operations to or from a satellite airport, without an operating control tower, within the Class C airspace area?
Prior to entering that airspace, a pilot must establish and maintain communication with the ATC serving facility.

the lightning bolt.
Name the four fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft.
Straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents.
Which maximum range factor decreases as weight decreases?
Airspeed.
After experiencing a powerplant failure at night, one of the primary considerations should include
planning the emergency approach and landing to an unlighted portion of an area.
While taxiing a light, high-wing airplane during strong quartering tailwinds, the aileron control should be positioned
opposite the direction from which the wind is blowing.
Flying a heading that is reciprocal to the bearing selected on the OBS results in what ?
Reverse sensing.
what is the approx base of the clouds if temp at 2000 fett is 10 deg C and dewpoint is 1 deg C ?
??
The runway holding position sign is located on
runways that intersect other runways.
The angle of attack of a wing directly controls the
distribution of pressures acting on the wing.
Which is true regarding pilot certification requirements for operations in Class B airspace?
The pilot in command must hold at least a private pilot certificate.
(Refer to Area 6.) What is the purpose of the star that follows the CT-120.65 in the information box for the Sacramento Mather (MHR) Airport?
That the control tower has limited hours of operation.
Which of the following best describes a destination sign?
Indicates the direction to the takeoff runway.
What minimum distance should exist between intense radar echoes before any attempt is made to fly between these thunderstorms?
40 mile (i.e between)
They consist of either an observation and a forecast or just a forecast for tornadoes, significant thunderstorm activity, or hail greater than or equal to 3/4 inch in diameter.
They consist of either an observation and a forecast or just a forecast for tornadoes, significant thunderstorm activity, or hail greater than or equal to 3/4 inch in diameter.
In aircraft equipped with constant-speed propellers and normally-aspirated engines, which procedure should be used to avoid placing undue stress on the engine components? When power is being
increased, increase the RPM before increasing the manifold pressure.
A pilot reporting turbulence that momentarily causes slight, erratic changes in altitude and/or attitude should report it as…
Light TURBULANCE (not chop)
How should the pilot make a VOR receiver check when the aircraft is located on the designated checkpoint on the airport surface?
Set the OBS on the designated radial. The CDI must center within plus or minus 4° of that radial with a FROM indication.
Are the upper limits of Class D airspace are depicted in MSL or ASL ?
MSL
Each required flight crewmember is required to keep his or her shoulder harness fastened
during takeoff and landing, unless he or she is unable to perform required duties.
Which of the following best describes a destination sign?
Indicates the direction to the takeoff runway.
Hazardous attitudes which contribute to poor pilot judgment can be effectively counteracted by
redirecting that hazardous attitude so that appropriate action can be taken.
To maintain a standard rate turn as the airspeed increases, the bank angle of the aircraft will need to
increase. (A standard rate turn, although always 3° per sec., requires higher angles of bank as airspeed increases.)
During flight a fire, which was extinguished, burned the insulation from a transceiver wire. What action is required by regulations?
A report must be filed with the avionics inspector at the responsible FAA Flight Standards office within 48 hours.
14 CFR Part 1 defines VF as
design flap speed.
The basic drive for a pilot to demonstrate the “right stuff” can have an adverse effect on safety, by
generating tendencies that lead to practices that are dangerous, often illegal, and may lead to a mishap.
A moist, unstable air mass is characterized by
cumuliform clouds and showery precipitation.
From which of the following can the observed temperature, wind, and temperature/dewpoint spread be determined at a specified altitude?
Constant Pressure Analysis Charts.
To serve as second in command of an airplane that is certificated for more than one pilot crew-member, and operated under Part 91, a person must
within the last 12 months become familiar with the required information, and perform and log pilot time in the type of airplane for which privileges are requested.
The stalling speed of an airplane is most affected by
variations in airplane loading.
When flying beneath the lateral limits of Class B airspace, the maximum indicated airspeed authorized is
200 knots.
Regulations which refer to “commercial operators” relate to that person who
for compensation or hire, engages in the carriage by aircraft in air commerce of persons or property, OTHER than as an air carrier.
Which is the correct symbol for the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in a specified configuration?
VS1.
