Q

If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal operating range, the pilot may have been operating with

A

too much power and with the mixture set too lean.
High power settings with a lean mixture may lead to overheating. The additional fuel of a richer mixture has a cooling effect.

Q

Why is it a good idea to visually inspect to make sure that the crankcase breather lines are free of ice?

A

Q

The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the

A

speed of the airplane.
At slow speeds, the maximum available lifting force of the wing is decreased. The wing will stall at lo loads and relieve the load.

Q

The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use

A

a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector.
Use a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the sky into the central visual field. Each movement should not exceed 10° and each area should be observed for at least 1 second to enable
detection.

Q

In order to check your progress when using dead reckoning with no radio instrumentation, make corrections by:

A

Using pilotage and keep track of your checkpoints.
Except for flights over water, dead reckoning is usually used with pilotage for cross-country flying. The heading and GS, as calculated, is constantly monitored and corrected by pilotage as observed from checkpoints.
