To meet the recency of experience requirements to act as pilot in command carrying passengers at night, a pilot must have made at least three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop within the preceding 90 days in
**the same category and class of aircraft to be used.** To fly as PIC with passengers at night, the pilot must have made three takeoffs and landings to a full stop at night in the same category, class, and type, if a type rating is required, within the last 90 days. [FAR 61.57](https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=fc4a2342ef24691515bc456c43f20fd6&mc=true&node=pt14.2.61)
(Refer to Figure 71, area 8.) You have a flight planned from Auburn airport (AUN - area 8) to Sacramento Mather airport (MHR - area 6) at 4,500’ MSL. What additional avionics equipment must your aircraft have installed?
None.
ADS-B Out is only required for flights within the designated lateral and vertical boundaries up to 10,000’ MSL of Class B, and C airspace, and Class E airspace above 10,000’ MSL (excluding at or below 2,500’ AGL) within the contiguous United States.
FAR 91.225
(Refer to Figure 23, area 3.) What minimum altitude is required to fly over the TV towers in the congested area southwest of Savannah Hilton Head International (SAV)?
2,548 feet MSL.
Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft. 1548+1000=2548.
FAR 91.119
(Refer to Figure 20.) You have a flight planned from Currituck Co. airport (area 3) to Norfolk International airport (area 1). What additional equipment is your airplane required to have, if any?
ADS-B Out.
Per 91.225, unless otherwise authorized by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft in Class B or Class C airspace areas unless the aircraft has ADS-B Out equipment installed.
FAR 91.225
(Refer to Figure 59, area 4.) You are flying along the coastline at 7,000’ under the 9,000’ MSL Class B shelf southeast bound (area 4). Are you required to have an ADS-B Out system?
Yes.
ADS-B Out is required for operations within 30 NM of a Class B airport from the surface upward to 10,000’ MSL. This is commonly known as the Mode C Veil.
FAR 91.225
(Refer to Figure 78). You are performing a test flight in the vicinity of Onawa airport (K36) at 11,000’ MSL. What additional equipment does the aircraft need to have installed?
ADS-B Out.
Per 91.225, unless otherwise authorized by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft unless the aircraft has ADS-B Out equipment installed in Class E airspace within the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia at and above 10,000 feet MSL, excluding the airspace at and below 2,500 feet above the surface.
FAR 91.225
(Refer to Figure 78.) What are the basic VFR weather minima required to takeoff from the Onawa, IA (K36) airport during the day?
1 statute mile, clear of clouds.
The Onawa airport is located in Class G airspace at the surface, which requires a minimum visibility of 1 statute mile and for you to remain clear of clouds.
Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) 3-1
FAR 91.155
(Refer to Figure 71.) Your planned flight overflies the Class C Sacramento International airport (SMF) from west to east at a cruising altitude of 9,500’ MSL. Does the flight require ADS-B out equipment?
Yes, the flight requires ADS-B out equipment.
Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft above the ceiling of a Class C airspace area designated for an airport upward to 10,000 feet MSL unless the aircraft has ADS-B out equipment installed.
FAR 91.225
(Refer to Figure 82.) Based upon the altitude indicated by altimeter #3, which course direction is appropriate for this VFR cruising altitude?
080° magnetic.
The altimeter is indicating an altitude of 9,500 ft. Odd thousand plus 500 feet altitudes are required for flying a magnetic course between 0°-179°. The only answer that satisfies the rule is 080° magnetic.
