Study Cards Flashcards
How can a military airport be identified at night?
Dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between green flashes.
What situation is most conducive to the formation of radiation fog?
Warm, moist air over low, flatland areas on clear, calm nights.
An aircraft leaving ground effect during takeoff will
experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance.
If faced with an emergency where Air Traffic Control (ATC) assistance is desired and not already in contact, which frequency can be used to establish communications?
121.5 MHz.
Induced drag increases when airspeed is:
Decreased.
While on final approach for landing, an alternating green and red light followed by a flashing red light is received from the control tower. Under these circumstances, the pilot should
exercise extreme caution and abandon the approach, realizing the airport is unsafe for landing.
Each person who holds a pilot certificate or a medical certificate shall present it for inspection upon the request of any
local law enforcement officer.
For aviation purposes, ceiling is defined as the height above the Earth’s surface of the
lowest broken or overcast layer or vertical visibility into an obscuration.
What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane?
The location of the CG with respect to the center of lift.
Aviation Routine Weather reports (METARs) contain:
Wind, visibility, precipitation, cloud coverage, temperature, and altimeter setting.
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will
remain the same regardless of gross weight.
The amount of water vapor which air can hold depends on the
air temperature.
At the beginning of a turn from a northerly heading:
The compass will show a turn in the opposite direction.
Unless otherwise authorized, which situation requires Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)?
Overflying Class C airspace below 10,000 feet MSL.
Which in-flight advisory would contain information on severe icing not associated with thunderstorms?
SIGMET.
Safety belts are required to be properly secured about which persons in an aircraft and when?
Passengers, during taxi, takeoffs, and landings only.
On landing, your tire blows and the wheel is dented. What action is required to comply with NTSB Part 830?
No notification or report is required.
If an alteration or repair substantially affects an aircraft’s operation in flight, that aircraft must be test flown by an appropriately-rated pilot and approved for return to service prior to being operated
with passengers aboard.
The possibility of carburetor icing exists even when the ambient air temperature is as
high as 70 °F and the relative humidity is high.
Which conditions result in the formation of frost?
The temperature of the collecting surface is at or below the dewpoint of the adjacent air and the dewpoint is below freezing.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a south heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
No person may attempt to act as a crewmember of a civil aircraft with
.04 percent by weight or more alcohol in the blood.
Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?
When standard atmospheric conditions exist.
When must the battery in an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) be replaced (or recharged if the battery is rechargeable)?
After one-half the battery’s useful life.
Position (navigation) lights on an aircraft are:
Red for the left wingtip, green for the right wing tip, and white for the tail.
To operate during the day in Class G airspace you need:
1 statute mile, clear of clouds.
