Q

What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?

Q

Which aircraft has the right-of-way

A

(1) A balloon has the right-of-way over any other category of aircraft;
(2) A glider has the right-of-way over an airship, powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft.
(3) An airship has the right-of-way over a powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft.

However, an aircraft towing or refueling other aircraft has the right-of-way over all other engine-driven aircraft.

Q

What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long term memory for repetitive tasks?

A

Checklists.

28
Q

When may hazardous wind shear be expected?

A

In areas of low-level temperature inversion, frontal zones, and clear air turbulence.

29
Q

33
Q

What often leads to spatial disorientation or collision with ground/obstacles when flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR)?

A

Continual flight into instrument conditions.

34
Q

Preflight action, as required for all flights away from the vicinity of an airport, shall include

A

an alternate course of action if the flight cannot be completed as planned.

35
Q

When converting from true course to magnetic heading, a pilot should

A
