Test Prep

Airspace at an airport with a part-time control tower is classified as Class D airspace only?

when the control tower is in operation. Outside of operating hours, it reverts to uncontrolled airspace.

Every physical process of weather is accompanied by or is the result of a?

Heat exchange

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

How is engine operation controlled on an engine with a constant-speed propeller?

The throttle controls power output as registered on the manifold pressure gauge and the propeller control regulates engine rpm

What is the purpose of the runway/runway hold position sign?

Denotes intersecting runways

A pilot can expect a wind-shear zone in a temperature inversion whenever the wind speed at 2,000 to 4,000 feet above the surface is at least

25 knots

To update a previous weather briefing a pilot should request?

An abbreviated briefing

With respect to the certification of airmen, which is a class of aircraft?

Single-engine land and sea, multi-engine land and sea

What is the definition of a high-performance airplane?

An airplane with a engine of more than 200hp

A seaplane and a motorboat are on crossing courses if the motorboat is to the left of the seaplane which has the right of way?

The sea plane

When an aircraft and a vessel operating on water are on crossing courses the aircraft of vessel to the other’s right has the right of way. since the motorboat is to the left of the seaplane, the seaplane has the right of way. FAR 91.115

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 altitude than at low density altitudes

If the outside air temperature(OAT) at a given altitude is warmer than standard the density altitude is..

Higher than pressure altitude.
