TEST 7

Question 1

You are on a 090 bearing to the station and cleared to hold on the 060 bearing. What heading would you turn to after crossing the fix?
  200 degrees.
  065 degrees.
  060 degrees.
  240 degrees.

Answer 1

240 degrees.
Correct
Bearings are TO the station, Radials are from the station. Essentially, cleared to hold at the XYZ VOR 240 radial. You are on the 270 radial (090 bearing TO the station) so at the fix you would turn right for a direct entry into holding.

Question 2

Warm fronts will produce what type of thunderstorm?
Squall lines.
Fast moving thunderstorms.
Embedded thunderstorms.

Answer 2

Embedded thunderstorms.
Correct
If the warm air mass is unstable, thunderstorms may be embedded among the stratiform clouds ahead of the front, and after frontal passage thundershowers may continue.

Answer 8

Make a climbing turn towards the landing runway and fly the published missed approach procedure, when established on a segment of the procedure.

Question 9

You are on the 270 radial, cleared to hold east on the 090 radial 20 DME fix with 20nm legs. The wind is from 360 degrees at 20 knots. What radial will your bearing pointer be pointing at before you start your turn inbound?
Southeast. Or, left side aft of the wingline with the northerly crab put in.
Southwest. Or, left side aft of the wingline with the northerly crab put in.
Southwest. Or, right side aft of the wingline with the northerly crab put in.

Answer 9

Southwest. Or, left side aft of the wingline with the northerly crab put in.
Correct
Teardrop entry you would turn to 060 at the fix. Before your right turn back to intercept the 090 radial, you will be on some radial north of the 090 radial, therefore your bearing pointer will be pointing to a southwesterly heading.

Question 10

You are flying at 0.86 IMN and you slow down. At what speed must you notify ATC?

0. 82IMN.
1. 84IMN.
2. 89IMN.
3. 86IMN.

Answer 10

0.82IMN.
Incorrect
8.6NM/min x 60 = 516KTAS-10KTAS=506KTAS/60=8.4NM/min=0.84IMN
5% of 516KTAS is 26 so 516-26=490KTAS/60=8.2NM/min=0.82IMN

MDA for the LOC 27 is 450’AGL, How far from the runway is the VDP?

1. 5nm
2. 8nm
3. 9nm
4. 2nm

Answer 13

1.5nm
Correct
450 ft/ 300ft/nm = 1.5nm (300 ft/nm is roughly a 3 degree glide path).

Question 14

Greater TAS, lower air temperatures, decreased engine RPM, and lower fuel consumption.
Greater TAS, lower air temperatures, increased engine RPM, and lower fuel consumption.

Answer 21

Greater TAS, lower air temperatures, increased engine RPM, and lower fuel consumption.

Question 22

Why does a swept wing aircraft roll when you step on the rudder?
Proverse Yaw.
Adverse Yaw.
P-Factor.

Answer 22

Proverse Yaw.

The yaw induced by the rudder in a swept wing aircraft would cause one wing to advance faster increasing the relative wind and chordwise flow producing more lift (and more drag) and thus causing a rolling moment in the direction of the yaw. Referred to as Proverse roll.
