Q

What colors are associated with the different airspace classes?

A

Class B - Solid Blue. Class C Solid Magenta. Class D - Dotted blue. Class E dotted Magenta.

17
Q

The order of operations regarding the strokes of a typical four - stroke per cycle airplane engine is?

A

Intake, Compression, Power & exhaust.

18
Q

The wind condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a

A

Light, quartering tailwind. (pilots must be especially alert in calm wind or in a light tailwind situation)

19
Q

Which wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nosewheel equipped high - wing airplane?

A

Quartering tailwind. (When taxiing a nose-wheel equipped high wing airplane the most critical wind position is a quartering tailwind because it could lift the tail and push the airplane over on its prop and far wingtip.)

20
Q

How often must the aircraft’s ELT be inspected?

A

Within 12 calendar months of the last inspection

21
Q

Wingtip Vortices are created only when an aircraft is?

A

Developing lift.

22
Q

The only instrument that provides an instantaneous, direct indication of the airplane’s pitch and bank attitude is the:

A

Attitude indicator

23
Q

What is induced drag?

A

The rearward retarding force caused by the wings creating lift.

24
Q

A chair-type parachute must have been packed by a certificated and appropriately rated parachute rigger within the preceding.

A

180 days
