- What is the flap configuration for short field takeoff over a barrier in C-172's?
- Most 172's will list zero degrees, but you may use 10 degrees, but you must be going 5 knots slower or the advantage is lost.
- Two private Pilots are flying in the same airplane. The pilot in the left seat flys for 15 minutes and then puts on a hood and flies for 1 hour. The pilot in the right seat is acting as a safety pilot during this time. Now the pilot in the right seat takes the controls and flies the airplane home. The total flight time is 1 hour 30 minutes. How much time may each pilot log?
- Each can log 1 hour and 15 minutes
- What certificates must a pilot have in his/her possession while exercising the privileges of that certificate?
- Valid pilot's certificate, medical certificate, and a government issued photo ID

- The basic purpose is to provide the operator a list of all the equipment installed.
- What maintenace inspections are required on our airplane for the checkride?
- 1.Airworthiness directives 2.Annual 3.ELT battery 4.Transponder
- AIRMET
- Airmen's Meteorological Weather Advisory, for all pilots and is for moderate conditions.
- What are some primary components of the electrical system?
- 1.Battery 2.Alternator 3.Master Switch 4.ACU (Alternator control unit) 5.Ammeter 6.Red Light 7.Bus Bars 8.Circuit breakers/fuses 9.Components
- What are the lateral dimensions of the 30 mile mode C veil around class B?
- Surface to 10,000 feet MSL
- What are the 3 different Airmet advisories and their weather significances?
- 1.Sierra: Mountain obscuration or any other obscurations to visibility. 2.Tango: Turbulence 3.Zulu: Ice
- If you landed at Perkins and the fuel gauge went inoperative, how could you possibly fly the aircraft back home legally to have it repaired?
- Contact the local FSDO and request a special flight permit.
- FLAPS
- F:Fuses L:Landing light (if for hire) A:Anti-collision light P:Position lights S:Source of power
- What are the basic VFR weather minimums for VGT while the tower is operating?
- 1000 ft ceiling and 3 miles visibility
- What 2 general conditions of flight time must a pilot log in a reliable record?
- Currency and aeronautical experience for a higher rating.
- What do the make and model of a Lycoming O-360 engine mean?
- O means opposed cylinders. 360 means the engine has a displacement of 360 cubic inches.
- What are the 6 lower limits of class E airspace and point out examples of each
- 1.Surface. Noted by dashed magenta lines around an airport. 2.700 ft AGL- Shaded magenta around an airport 3.1200 ft MSL: Shaded blue along airways and other large areas used for transition to/from the terminal or en route environment. 4.As ddepicted: The floor of the shaded blue will change to the altitude as depicted when the dark blue fenced line appears, the altitude will be shown as 9700 MSL 5.14,500ft MSL: this is not noted on any chart, but class E starts over the USA at this altitude upwards to class A. 6.Above FL600.
- How long is a private pilot's medical valid for if he/she is over 40?
- 24 months
- FAR 91.205 lists the basic required equipment to be installed and functioning. The thing to remember is that if the equipment is required by a rule, then you need a permit to fly with it inoperative. The variance to this is that ATC may give permission for radio, and transponder inoperative flights. If the equipment is not required by a rule, then you must
- 1.Placard it inoperative 2.Deactivate it 3.Determine that it is safe to fly without that piece of equipment.
- Where can you find operation limitations on the airplane?
- POH, placards, instruments, AD's, maintenance records, regulations, pilot skills, age and condition of aricraft, performance
- Which required airplane document must be in plain view?
- Airworthiness certificate
- What is the difference between normal and utility categories?
- The utility category can withstand higher G forces such as spins. Spins are not authorized in the Normal category.
