(Refer to figure 21.) What is the estimated time en route from Mercer County Regional Airport (area 3) to Minot International (area 1)? The wind is from 330° at 25 knots and the true airspeed is 100 knots. Add 3-1/2 minutes for departure and climb-out.

48 min

(Refer to figure 24.) Estimate the time en route from Majors Airport (area 1) to Winnsboro Airport (area 2). The wind is from 340° at 12 knots and the true airspeed is 36 knots.

59 minutes.

Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?

Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed.

When must a current pilot certificate be in the pilot's personal possession or readily accessible in the aircraft?

Anytime when acting as pilot in command or as a required crewmember.

(Refer to figure 20, area 1.) What type of airspace surrounds NALF Fentress (NFE) Airport?

Class E.

Which is normally prohibited when operating a restricted category civil aircraft?

Flight over a densely populated area.

(Refer to Figure 24.) What is the approximate position of the aircraft if the VOR receivers indicate the 245° radial of Sulphur Springs VOR-DME (area 5) and the 140° radial of Bonham VORTAC (area 3)?

Glenmar Airport.

From whom should a departing VFR aircraft request radar traffic information during ground operations?

Ground control, on initial contact.

To determine the freezing level and areas of probable icing aloft, the pilot should refer to the

Inflight Aviation Weather Advisories.

The magnetic compass:

Is self powered.

During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?

Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight.

Which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of a thunderstorm?

Precipitation beginning to fall.

You are flying on an easterly course. If the wind is from the northeast, you must crab the airplane:

Somewhat to the north of east to counteract drift.

What is a characteristic of stable air?

Stratiform clouds.

Which atmospheric layer is typified by a relatively small change in temperature?

Stratosphere.

The underlying principle of the right-of-way rules is to ensure:

That each person operating an aircraft will see and avoid other aircraft.

The most complete and up-to-date information regarding an airport can be found in:

The Chart Supplements publication (formerly The Airport/Facility Directory A/FD)

When an aircraft is flying at a high AOA, the downward moving blade of the propeller has a higher resultant velocity, creating more lift than the upward moving blade causing:

The airplane's nose to pull to the left.

What is pressure altitude?

The altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92.

Lateral or roll stability is normally achieved by:

The upward pitch of the wings, called dihedral.

Thunderstorms may contain:

Turbulence, icing, hailstones, and lightning.

When must a pilot who deviates from a regulation during an emergency send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator?

Upon request.

The plane you are flying is capable of cruising at 28,000 ft and going 330 knots. You are pilot in command operating under BasicMed, and part 91. Is this flight legal?

Yes, as long as you do not exceed 18,000' and 250 knots.

Which restriction applies to private pilots flying without a current medical certificate under the guidance of BasicMed? -You may not operate an airplane for compensation or hire. -You cannot fly an airplane that is configured to carry more than 4 passengers. -You may not operate an airplane for compensation or hire.

You may not operate an airplane for compensation or hire.

Each recreational or private pilot is required to have

a biennial flight review.

Completion of an annual condition inspection and the return of the aircraft to service should always be indicated by

an appropriate notation in the aircraft maintenance records.

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

higher than pressure altitude.

While operating in class D airspace, each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI) shall

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

VNO is defined as the

maximum structural cruising speed.

A non-tower satellite airport, within the same Class D airspace as that designated for the primary airport, requires radio communications be established and maintained with the

primary airport's control tower.

Moist, stable air flowing upslope can be expected to

produce stratus type clouds.

Layered clouds are called:

stratus

TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides

warning to pilots when their aircraft are in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or other aircraft.
