Answer: The pilot in command must brief the passengers on the use of safety belts and notify them to fasten their safety belts during taxi, takeoff, and landing.

Unless otherwise authorized, the maximum indicated airspeed at which aircraft may be flown when at or below 2,500 feet AGL and within 4 nautical miles of the primary airport of Class C airspace is

Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft at or below 2,500 feet AGL within 4 NM of the primary airport of a Class C or Class D airspace area at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 knots. Answer: 200 knots

Which cruising altitude is appropriate for a VFR flight on a magnetic course of 135°?

When operating below 18,000 feet MSL in VFR cruising flight more than 3,000 feet above the surface and on a magnetic course of 0° through 179°, any odd thousand-foot MSL altitude plus 500 feet (i.e., 3,500, 5,500, etc.) is appropriate. On a course of 180° through 359°, even thousands plus 500 feet (4,500, 6,500, etc.) is appropriate. Answer: odd thousands plus 500 feet

When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the right-of-way belongs to the aircraft

When two aircraft are approaching an airport for landing, the lower aircraft has the right-of-way. A pilot shall not take advantage of that rule to overtake or cut in front of another aircraft. Answer: at the lower altitude, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of or to overtake another.

What action should the pilots of a glider and an airplane take if on a head-on collision course?

When two aircraft are approaching each other from head-on, or nearly so, each pilot must alter course to the right. This rule does not give right-of-way by categories. Answer: Both pilots should give way to the right.

A certificated private pilot may not act as pilot in command of an aircraft towing a glider unless there is entered in the pilot's logbook a minimum of

With a Private pilot certificate, no person may act as PIC of an aircraft towing a glider unless he/she has had, and entered in his/her logbook, at least: 1. 100 hours of PIC time in the aircraft category, class, and type (if required), or 2. 200 hours of PIC time in powered or other aircraft. Answer: 100 hours of pilot-in-command time in the aircraft category, class, and type, if required, that the pilot is using to tow a glider.

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

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

With respect to the certification of aircraft, 'class' is a broad grouping of aircraft having similar means of propulsion, flight, or landing. Examples include airplane, rotorcraft, glider, balloon, landplane, and seaplane. Answer: Airplane, rotorcraft, glider, balloon.

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

With respect to the certification of airmen, 'category' means a broad classification of aircraft such as airplane, rotorcraft, glider, and lighter-than-air, weight shift control, and powered parachute. Answer: Airplane, rotorcraft, glider, lighter-than-air.

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

With respect to the certification of airmen, a 'class' refers to aircraft with similar operating characteristics such as single-engine land/sea and multi-engine land/sea, gyroplane, helicopter, airship, and free balloon. Answer: Single-engine land and sea, multiengine land and sea.

VFR flight in controlled airspace above 1,200 feet AGL and below 10,000 feet MSL requires a minimum visibility and vertical cloud clearance of

With the exception of Class B airspace, VFR flight into controlled airspace requires 3 statute miles visibility and cloud clearance of 500 feet below and 1,000 feet above when operating above 1,200 feet AGL and below 10,000 feet MSL. Answer: 3 miles, and 500 feet below or 1,000 feet above the clouds in controlled airspace.

What action is required when two aircraft of the same category converge, but not head-on?

~ When two aircraft of the same 'right-of-way' category converge at approximately the same altitude, the aircraft to the other's right has the right-of-way. Answer: The aircraft on the left shall give way
