1. The correct answer is A. Sufficient water
vapor, an initial lifting force, and an unstable
lapse rate are the three main ingredients necessary for the formation of thunderstorms. While
these three combined will not always produce
a thunderstorm, no thunderstorm will form
without them. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical
Knowledge, Chapter 11)
2. The correct answer is A. The cumulus stage
can be described as the building stage of a thunderstorm, identified by building and towering
cumulus clouds created by continuous updrafts.
Lightning, thunder, and rain are most prevalent
in the mature stage, while the dissipating stage
is characterized primarily by downdrafts as the
storm fizzles out. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 11)
3. The correct answer is B. You might recall
that the notam-L service was discontinued
several years ago. Distant notams (notam [D])
that are expected to remain in effect for an
extended period, and flight data center (FDC)
notams, are published in the Notices to Airmen
publication. (Aeronautical Information Manual,
Section 5-1-3)
4. The correct answer is C. Excessively high
engine temperatures that exceed the redline
markings on CHT, EGT, or oil temperature
gauges can lead to power loss, internal engine
damage, and high oil consumption. Reducing power, reducing rate of climb, increasing
airspeed, descending, enriching the mixture,
opening cowl flaps, and/or flight termination all
are possible cures. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 6)
5. The correct answer is B. Airports with
control towers are depicted with a blue airport
symbol on sectional aeronautical charts. Control towers are usually within class B, C, D, and
E airspace. (Aeronautical Chart Users Guide)
6. The correct answer is A. Many ATC towers
are part-time operations, closing usually late at
night through early morning. When closed, the
airspace would revert to a lower class—either E
or G. (Airport/Facility Directory)
7. The correct answer is B. As the FAA is not
in the business of handing out free passes, for
any 100-hour inspection time that is exceeded,
that time must be subtracted, hour for hour, to
determine the time the next one is due. (FAR
91.409[b])
8. The correct answer is B. If it is necessary
to hand-prop an engine installed in an airplane
that has a battery and electric starter, the
airplane may be unairworthy before the flight
even begins. However, if you are flying a Piper
J–3 Cub, the “armstrong” starter is standard
equipment, and this technique is actually
required prior to any flight. Most important,
ensure the controls are handled by a pilot
familiar with that airplane. (Airplane Flying
Handbook, Chapter 2)
