1. The correct answer is C. 100 percent relative
humidity and the presence of water vapor do not
necessarily guarantee the formation of clouds,
fog, or dew. However, one, two, or all three will
form when water vapor condenses, as that is
an absolute. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical
Knowledge, Chapter 11)

2. The correct answer is A. Whether landing in
a crosswind on the upwind main wheel, or with
no wind on both main wheels, it is important to
keep the longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel
to the direction of motion. This will ensure the
aircraft touches down with no side load forces.

3. The correct answer is B. Extending wing flaps
creates drag that allows the pilot to increase the
descent angle without a corresponding increase
in airspeed, and allows for slower touchdown
speeds compared to no flap use. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 5)
4. The correct answer is A. A typical PAPI
system uses four lights to show landing approach status. Too low is four red, slightly low is
three red and one white, on path is two of each,
slightly high is three white and one red, and
too high is four white. (Aeronautical Information
Manual, Section 2-1-2)
5. The correct answer is C. Position lights are
steady burning and airplanes have a red position
light on the left wing tip and a green position
light on the right wing tip. If you see both lights,
with the red light on your right, you are observing the other aircraft approaching you head-on.
Deviation in heading or altitude, or both, may be
required. (Federal Aviation Regulation 23.1385)
6. The correct answer is B. Ground effect is
most noticeable when the aircraft is approximately half its wingspan in altitude above the
surface. For most small GA airplanes, this would
be about 15 to 20 feet. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 4)
7. The correct answer is B. To exercise PIC privileges, a pilot must have received and logged both
ground and flight training in a high-performance
airplane, and receive a one-time endorsement in
his logbook by the instructor who provided the
training. The training must be done with a flight
instructor. Simply having logged flight time is not
enough. (FAR 61.31[f])
8. The correct answer is B. With a counterclockwise-rotating rotor system, left pedal is
required to lift to a hover. Pushing the cyclic control forward will start the helicopter accelerating
for takeoff. Descending into the flare, power and
up collective are added to reduce the descent
rate. (Rotorcraft Flying Handbook, Chapter 9)
