What regulation allows a private pilot to perform preventive maintenance?
14 CFR Part 43.3.
(14 CFR 43.3) ( ? )
Preventive maintenance means simple or minor preservation operations and the replacement of small standard parts not involving complex assembly operations. Appendix A to Part 43 provides a list of work that is considered preventive maintenance. Part 43 allows a person who holds a pilot certificate to perform preventive maintenance on any aircraft owned or operated by that pilot that is not used in air carrier service.
The three takeoffs and landings that are required to act as pilot in command at night must be done during the time period from
1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise.
(14 CFR 61.57) ( ? ) No one may act as pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers at night (i.e., the period from 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise as published in the American Air Almanac) unless (s)he has made three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop within the preceding 90 days, at night, in the category and class of aircraft to be used.
The responsibility for ensuring that maintenance personnel make the appropriate entries in the aircraft maintenance records indicating the aircraft has been approved for return to service lies with the
owner or operator.
(14 CFR 91.405) ( ? )
Each owner or operator of an aircraft shall ensure that maintenance personnel make the appropriate entries in the aircraft maintenance records indicating the aircraft has been approved for return to service.
You attended a party last night, and you consumed several glasses of wine. You are planning to fly your aircraft home and have been careful to make sure 8 hours have passed since your last alcoholic drink. You can make the flight now only if you are not under the influence of alcohol and your blood alcohol level is
below .04%.
(14 CFR 91.17) ( ? )
14 CFR Part 91 requires that the blood alcohol level be less than .04% and that 8 hr. pass between drinking alcohol and piloting an aircraft. A pilot with a blood alcohol level of .04% or greater after 8 hr. cannot fly until the blood alcohol falls below that amount. Even though blood alcohol may be well below .04%, a pilot cannot fly sooner than 8 hr. after drinking alcohol.

15,000 feet MSL.
(14 CFR 91.211) ( ? )
No person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S. registry at cabin pressure altitudes above 15,000 feet MSL unless each occupant is provided with supplemental oxygen.
Which aircraft has the right-of-way over the other aircraft listed?
Glider.
(14 CFR 91.113) ( ? )
If aircraft of different categories are converging, the right-of-way depends upon who has the least maneuverability. A glider has right-of-way over an airship, airplane, or rotorcraft.
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.
(14 CFR 91.207) ( ? )

No person may use an ATC transponder that is specified in the regulations unless within the preceding 24 calendar months it has been tested and found to comply with its operating specifications. Thus, if the last inspection was performed on September 1, 2014, the next inspection will be due no later than September 30, 2016.
If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot adjust the altimeter?
A. Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature.
B. The elevation of the nearest airport corrected to mean sea level.
C. The elevation of the departure area.
C. The elevation of the departure area.
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.121) ( ? )
When the local altimeter setting is not available at takeoff, the pilot should adjust the altimeter to the elevation of the departure area.

B. Class A, B, and C airspace above 2,500 ft. AGL.
C. Class A, B, and C airspace.
C. Class A, B, and C airspace.
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.225) ( ? )
ADS-B Out equipment must be installed for all operations (1) in Class A, B, and C airspace; (2) above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of Class B and Class C airspace; and (3) in Class E airspace within the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia at and above 10,000 ft. MSL, excluding the airspace at and below 2,500 ft. above the surface.
