Missed / flagged on sportys practice test

Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting?

The current or local altimeter setting, if available or the departure airport elevation

How would you describe a holding position?

White inscriptions on red background

What feature is normally associated with the cumulus stage of a thunderstorm?

Continuous downdraft

What would happen if your airplane experienced a complete electrical failure during flight?

The airplane will lose all electrical equipment

The positive limit load factor is represented by the

Horizontal dashed line from C to point E

• (C - E represents a positive limit load factor of 3.8 g's as found on the vertical axis of the Vg diagram. 3.8 g's is the positive limit for Normal Category airplanes)

During the takeoff roll, you observe a lower RPM than normal. How should you proceed?

Abort the takeoff

If the wind is as shown by the landing direction indicator, the pilot should land on

Runway 18 and expect a crosswind from the right.

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

too much power and with the mixture set too lean

What minimum altitude is necessary to vertically clear the obstacle on the southeast side of Winnsboro Airport by 500 feet?

1,403 feet MSL.

Radar weather reports are of special interest to pilots because they indicate

location of precipitation along with type, intensity, and cell movement

To maintain BasicMed privileges, you must complete a BasicMed medical education course within the preceding:

24 calendar months.

A forward slip turns the airplane’s fuselage into the relative wind. How does this affect the airplane aerodynamically?

creates high drag which produces a high rate of descent.

How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane into a right quartering headwind?

Right aileron up, elevator up.

Which aircraft has the right-of-way over the other aircraft listed?

• Airship

• Aircraft refueling other aircraft

• glider

Glider

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying on a heading of 090°:

'TRAFFIC 3 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, WESTBOUND...'
Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

South

During a short-field landing in gusty conditions, how much should you increase your approach speed?

By half the gust factor

• (In gusty air, no more than one-half the gust factor is added to the normal short-field approach speed. If the normal approach speed is 70 knots, and the wind gusts above the steady wind speed are 10 knots, an increase of airspeed to 75 knots is appropriate.)

While flying with full power, in what condition is pilot inattentiveness most likely to result in a stall?

During takeoff and climb

TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides

sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft.

How accurate is the GPS-derived altitude when using a non-WAAS GPS?

It is not accurate enough to be considered reliable.

When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI), the pilot shall

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.

What effect does high density altitude, as compared to low density altitude, have on propeller efficiency and why?

Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes.

Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is

developing lift.
