What is true altitude?

The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level.

What is density altitude?

The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature.

Higher than the actual altitude above sea level.

What does a turn coordinator provide an indication of?

Movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes.

Situational awareness is increased.

An aircraft equipped with an electric flight display can...

Offer new capabilities and simplify the basic flying task.

What is an advantage of a constant speed propeller?

Permits the pilot to select the blade angle for the most efficient performance.

During preflight in cold weather, crankcase breather lines should receive special attention because they are susceptible to being clogged by...

Ice from crankcase vapors that have condensed and subsequently frozen.

Area C on the airport depicted is classified as a...

Closed taxiway.

Figure 65 identifies which signs where aircraft are prohibited from entering?

Sign D.

What does the outbound destination sign identify?

Identifies the direction to take-off runways.

What purpose does the taxiway location sign serve?

Identifies the taxiway on which an aircraft is located.

The recommended entry position to an airport traffic pattern is...

To enter 45 degrees at midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic pattern altitude.

While operating in Class D airspace, what should each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by visual approach slope indicator maintain?

Maintain An altitude at or above the glide slope until a lower altitude is necessary for a safe landing.

Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is...

Developing lift.

When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to

sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence.

Eye movement during daytime collision avoidance scanning should...

Not exceed 10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second.

What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?

Execute gentle banks left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace

Most midair collision accidents occur during...

Clear days.

Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with...

All pilots.

ADS-B equipment is not required for aircraft in flight above 10,000 ft. MSL

while that flight is still being conducted below 2,500 ft AGL.

What minimum pilot certificate is required for operation within Class B airspace?

Private pilot certificate or student pilot certificate with appropriate logbook endorsement.

What minimum visibility and clearance from clouds are required for VFR operations in Class G airspace 700 feet AGL or below during daylight hours?

1 mile visibility and clear of clouds

During operations outside controlled airspace at altitudes of more than 1200 feet AGL but less than 10,000 feet MSL, the minimum distance below clouds requirement for VFR flight at night is...

500 feet.

What facility should the pilot contact to receive a special VFR departure clearance in Class D airspace?

Air traffic control tower.

What minimum radio equipment is required for VFR operation within Class B airspace?

Two-way communication equipment, 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.

What does ACT advise regarding traffic at 12 o’clock?This advisory is relative to your

ground track.

A steady green light signal directed from the control tower to an aircraft in flight is a signal that the pilot.

is cleared to land.

When activated, an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) transmits on...

406 MHz.

Who has the final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short instruction?

Pilot in command.

Where is the “Available Landing Distance” (ALD) data published for an airport that utilizes Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)?

Special Notices section of the Chart Supplement.

The International Flight Plan, FAA Form 7233-4, is used

for domestic and international flights under VFR and IFR.

How should a VFR flight plan be closed at the completion of the flight at a controlled airport?

The pilot must close the flight plan with the nearest FSS or other FAA facility upon landing.

Upon encountering severe turbulence, what flight condition should the pilot attempt to maintain?

level flight altitude

When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine aircraft, it is important to maintain a constant glide airspeed because variation in glide speed will...

nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgment of gliding distance and landing spot

VFR approaches to land at night should be accomplished

the same as during daytime

When taxing with a strong quartering tailwind, which aileron position should be used?

ailerons down on the side from which the wind is bowing

Which aileron position should a pilot generally use when taxiing in short quartering headwinds?
