According to 91.13
Yes. As the pilot in command of that aircraft. You are in control of all things related to that aircraft on the preflight run-up, flight, landing, and post-flight.

According to 91.17
You may not fly a civilian aircraft within eight hours of consuming alcohol. You must also have below a .04% blood alcohol level. This is where the phrase 8 hours bottle to throttle comes in.
What are the general requirements pertaining to the use of safety belts and shoulder harnesses?
According to 91.107
The PIC is responsible for ensuring the proper use of seatbelts/shoulder harnesses and that they are properly fastened before taxi takeoff and landing. Seatbelts must be one during critical phases of flight and cruise. Shoulder harnesses only have to be worn during the critical phase of flight.
What is the minimum fuel reserve for Day VFR flight, and on what cruise speed is the fuel reserve based?
According to 91.151
The pilot should have enough fuel to fly to the first point of the intended landing and assuming normal cruise speed. As well as fly after that for at least 30 minutes. CTI requirements are one hour at Cruise speed. Which is usually about 6.5 gallons per hour. Plus 1 gallon for taxi and takeoff, 1 gallon for pattern.
A transponder with mode see is required at all times in all air spaces at an above _____ Feet MSL, excluding that air space at and below _____ feet AGL.
According to 91.215 (I)
A transponder with mode C/ADS-B is required at all times in all air spaces at an above 10,000 feet MSL. Excluding that air space ad and below 2500 feet AGL.
What aircraft certificates and documents must be on board when you’re flying solo?
According to 91.9 + 91.203
A - Airworthiness Certificate
R - Registration Certificate
R - Radio Station Licence ( If international)
O - Operating Limitations (Chapter 2 in Aim)
W - Weight and Balance Data ( Chapter 6 in POH
No person may operate an aircraft so close to another aircraft as to create in?
According to 91.111
Collision hazard.
Who has the right away when to aircraft are on final approach to land at the same time?
According to 91.113
The aircraft with the lower altitude has the right of way, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another aircraft that is on final approach to land or to overtake that aircraft.
What action do you need to take if you are overtaking another aircraft and which has the right of way? What should you do if you are flying a head on collision course with another aircraft? If another single engine aircraft is converging from the right who has the right of way?
According to 91.113
A) each aircraft that is being overtaken has the right of way and each pilot of an overtaken aircraft shall alter the course to the right to pass well clear.
B) the aircraft to others right has the right of way.
Except when necessary for takeoffs and landings, what are the minimum safe altitude when flying over congested and other than congested areas?
According to 91.119
1000 feet over congested areas, 500 feet over non congested areas.
A. congested area or over any open air assembly of two persons, an altitude of 1000 feet above the height obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2000 feet of the aircraft.
B. other than congested areas – an altitude of 500 feet above the surface except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
If and altimeter setting is not available at the airport, which setting should you use before departing on a local flight?
According to 91.121
You set the altimeter to the departure airport elevation.
What altitude should you use when operating under VFR in level cruising flight at more than 3000 feet AGL? And below 18,000 feet MSL?
According to 91.159
On a magnetic course of 0° – 179°, any odd thousand-foot MSL altitude +500 feet. (example 5,500 feet)
On a magnetic course of 180° – 159°, any even thousand-foot MSL altitude +500 feet. (example: 4,500ft.)
When practicing steep turns, stalls, and maneuvering during slow flight, the entry altitude must allow recovery to be completed no lower than____feet AGL?
According to 91.303
1,500 Ft. AGL
When is it go around appropriate?
According to PFAK 12-18
Something has entered the runway on final, aircraft not stabilized, airspeed concern, not on the centerline, a bounced landing.
Or anytime the pilot in command is unsure or does not think the Landing will go safely.
What are the general steps you should follow after an engine failure in flight?

B) look for the best place to land, and pick out a landing site.
C) follow checklist items, and perform items in an attempt to restart, if not, secure the engine/fuel and prepare for landing.
