Reduce pilot workload.

Question 17

If you don’t maintain a constant glide speed in attempting to land in an emergency:

Answer 17

It is difficult to judge your gliding distance and landing spot/

Question 18

To fly in Class B airspace

Answer 18

The pilot must receive an ATC clearance before operating an aircraft in that area.

Question 19

If an alteration or repair substantially affects an aircrafts operation in flight, that aircraft must be test flown by an appropriately- rated pilot and approved for return to service prior to being operated.

Answer 19

With passengers aboard.

Question 20

Advisory Circulars (ACs) are issued to inform the public of non-regulatory material

Answer 20

And are not binding

Question 21

The required documents necessary to be onboard the airplane include:

Answer 21

Airworthiness certificate, registration, and operating handbook.

Question 22

A below glide slope indication from a pulsating approach slope indicator is a:

Answer 22

Pulsating red light. (Pulsating white light - aircraft is above glide path. ) Steady white light - on glide path

Question 23

In order to determine your distance flown, you would multiply time by:

Answer 23

Groundspeed

Question 24

What is the recommended glide path angle when flying stabilized approach?

Answer 24

3 degrees.

Question 25

ADS-B out equipment is required when flying?

Answer 25

In Class E airspace at and above 3,000 MSL over the gulf of Mexico from the U.S coastline out to 12NM

Question 26

What makes an airplane turn?

Answer 26

Horizontal Component of lift?

Question 27

A slightly high glide slope indication from a precision approach path indicator is?

Answer 27

Three white lights and one red light.

Question 28

What is the best way to slow a plane down during hydroplanning?

Answer 28

Aerodynamic braking

Question 29

During a night flight, you observe a steady white light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

Answer 29

The other aircraft is flying away from you. (steady white light is positioned on the tail facing rearward and a flashing red beacon light would be positioned such that it is visible in most directions. If these two lights are visible, the aircraft is flying away from you)

Question 30

How many GPS satellites are required to provide a Three - dimensional position?

Answer 30

4

Question 31

What is the main operating principle of a float - type carburetor?

Answer 31

Low pressure in the venturi of the carburetor forces fuel to flow through the main fuel jet and mix with intake air.

Question 32

What effect will landing with a tailwind have during an engine-out approach and landing?

Answer 32

Increased landing distance.

Question 33

Basic radar service in the terminal radar program is best described as

Answer 33

Safety alerts, traffic advisories, and limited vectoring to VFR aircraft.

Question 34

How will the wind affect your engine-out gliding distance?

Answer 34

A tailwind increases the gliding distance.

Question 35
