Practice Questions 2 Flashcards
What minimum flight visibility is required for VFR flight operations on an airway below 10,000 feet MSL?
The minimum flight visibility for VFR flight on an airway (Class E airspace) below 10,000 feet MSL is 3 statute miles. FAR 91.155.
To set the high intensity runway lights on medium intensity, the pilot should click the microphone seven times, and then click it
five times within 5 seconds.
Detonation may occur at high-power settings when
The fuel mixture ignites instantaneously instead of burning progressively and evenly.
Select the true statement about BasicMed medical certificate requirements
If a pilot has never had a medical certificate, she or he must get one before they qualify to operate under BasicMed.
Who is responsible for determining whether a pilot is fit to fly for a particular flight, even though he or she holds a current medical certificate?
The pilot.
Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI?
Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area.
What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?
The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced.
A pilot can operate under BasicMed even if the aircraft she or he is flying
is a multi-engine aircraft.
Which aircraft has the right-of-way
(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.
When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance?
Stay above its final approach flightpath all the way to touchdown.
The numbers 9 and 27 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately
090° and 270° magnetic.
Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?
Emotional tension, anxiety, or fear.
A Third-Class Medical Certificate is issued to a 51-year-old pilot on May 3, this year. To exercise the privileges of a Private Pilot Certificate, the medical certificate will be valid until midnight on
May 31, 2 years later
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are
lift, weight, thrust, and drag.
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over congested areas?
An altitude of 1,000 feet above any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
On the calculator side of the flight computer, time is always found on which scale(s)?
Inner scale and far inner scale.
What should pilots state when telephoning a weather briefing facility for preflight weather information?
The intended route of flight and destination.
What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?
Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace.
Which operation would be described as preventive maintenance?
Servicing landing gear wheel bearings.
What are characteristics of a moist, unstable air mass?
Cumuliform clouds and showery precipitation.
A pilot convicted of operating a motor vehicle while either intoxicated by, impaired by, or under the influence of alcohol or a drug is required to provide a
written report to the FAA Civil Aviation Security Division (AMC-700) not later than 60 days after the conviction.
When would a pilot be required to submit a detailed report of an emergency which caused the pilot to deviate from an ATC clearance?
Within 48 hours if requested by ATC.
The correct method of stating 4,500 feet MSL to ATC is
“FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED.”
What are the standard temperature and pressure values for sea level?
15 °C and 29.92 inches Hg.
