Answer 3

add westerly variation and subtract left wind correction angle.

Question 4

Question 5

Under what condition may an aircraft operate from a satellite airport within Class C airspace?

Answer 5

The pilot must contact ATC as soon as practicable after takeoff.

Question 6

Pilots flying over a national wildlife refuge are requested to fly no lower than

Answer 6

2,000 feet AGL.

Question 7

Answer 7

Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency.

Question 8

Which statement about longitude and latitude is true?

Answer 8

Lines of longitude cross the equator at right angles.

Question 9

On a cross-country flight, point A is crossed at 1500 hours and the plan is to reach point B at 1530 hours. Use the following information to determine the indicated airspeed required to reach point B on schedule.
Distance between A and B 70 NM
Forecast wind 310° at 15 kts
Pressure altitude 8,000 ft
Ambient temperature -10 °C
True course 270°
The required indicated airspeed would be approximately

Answer 9

137 knots.

Question 10

All operations within Class C airspace must be in

Answer 10

an aircraft equipped with a 4096-code transponder with Mode C encoding capability.

Question 11

What minimum radio equipment is required for operation within Class C airspace?

Answer 11

Two-way radio communications equipment, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.

Question 12

The vertical limit of Class C airspace above the primary airport is normally

Answer 12

4,000 feet AGL.

Question 13

Normal VFR operations in Class D airspace with an operating control tower require the ceiling and visibility to be at least

Answer 13

1,000 feet and 3 miles.

Question 14

How far will an aircraft travel in 2-1/2 minutes with a groundspeed of 98 knots?

Answer 14

4.08 NM. (convert to hours by dividing by 60) at a ground speed of 98 knots is .04 x 98 = 4.08 NM)

Question 15

The radius of the procedural Outer Area of Class C airspace is normally

Answer 15

20 NM.

Question 16

What minimum radio equipment is required for VFR operation within Class B airspace?

Answer 16

Question 17

The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on

Answer 17

the instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established.

Question 18

What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a Military Operations Area (MOA)?

Answer 18

Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.

Question 19

Under what condition, if any, may pilots fly through a restricted area?

Answer 19

With the controlling agency’s authorization.

Question 20

A non-tower satellite airport, within the same Class D airspace as that designated for the primary airport, requires radio communications be established and maintained with the

Answer 20

primary airport’s control tower.

Question 21

If a true heading of 135° results in a ground track of 130° and a true airspeed of 135 knots results in a groundspeed of 140 knots, the wind would be from

Answer 21

246° and 13 knots.
