FAA written questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Applying carburetor heat will | enrich the fuel/air mixture |
| How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? | Pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude. |
| With respect to the certification of aircraft, which are categories of aircraft? | Normal, Utility, Acrobatic. |
| Which type of weather briefing should a pilot request when departing within the hour, if no preliminary weather information has been received? | Standard Briefing. |
| In which type of airspace are VFR flights prohibited? | Class A |
| If there is a thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of an airport at which you plan to land, which hazardous atmospheric phenomenon might be expected on the landing approach? | Wind-shear turbulence |
| Which statement best dfines hypoxia? | A state of oxygen deficiency in the body |
| How long does airworthiness certificate of an aircraft remain valid? | As long as the aircraft is maintained and operated as required by federal aviation regulations. |
| What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short-and long term memory for repetitive tasks | Checklists |
| One purpose of the dual ignition system on an aircraft engine is to provide for... | improved engine performance |
| Which factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport | An increase in ambient temperature. |
| If instructed by ground control to taxi to runway 9, the pilot may proceed | via taxiways and across runways to, but not onto Runway 9 |
| While in flight a helicopter and an airplane are converging at a 90 degree angle. The helicopter is located to the right of the airplane. Which aircraft has the right of way, and why? | The helicopter, because it is to the right of the airplane. |
| VFR cruising altitudes are required to be maintained when flying | more than 3,000 feet agl, based on magnetic course. |
| A proper crosswind landing on a runway requires that, at the moment of touchdown, the | direction of motion of the airplane and its longitudinal axis be parallel to the runway |
| Sigmets are issued as a warning of weather conditions that are hazardous | to all aircraft |
| Deviation in magnetic compass is caused by the | magnetic fields in the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force. |
| The possibility of carburetor icing exists even when the ambient air temperature is as | high as 95 degrees F and the relative humidity is high |
| How is engine operation controlled on an engine equipped with a constant-speed propeller? | The throttle controls power output as registered on the manifold pressure gauge and the propeller control regulates engine rpm. |
| Which items are included in the empty weight of an aircraft? | Unusable fuel, hydraulic fluid, and fixed ballast. |
| The center of gravity of an aircraft can be determined by which of the following methods? | Dividing total moments by total weight. |
| In an airplane equipped with a constant-speed propeller and normally aspirated engine, which procedure should be used to avoid placing undue stress on the engine components? When power is being? | increased, increase the rpm before increasing the manifold pressure. |
| Which airspeed would a pilot be unable to identify by the color coding of an airspeed indicator? | The maneuvering speed. |
