1. The correct answer is A. Accidents are usually the result of human error. Structural failure
and mechanical malfunction, while real, occur
rarely. Even then, the result can be a successful
ending to any flight when properly handled by
the PIC. Most accidents, after being investigated,
turn up no problems with the aircraft. Hence,
the human error element is cited as the main
or contributing factor in about 80 percent of
all accidents. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical
Knowledge, Chapter 17)
2. The correct answer is B. On some aircraft,
empty weight may include full oil and on others,
undrainable oil. However, only unusable fuel
is included in the empty weight, in addition to
the airframe, engine, and all installed standard
and optional equipment. (Pilot’s Handbook of
Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 9)
3. The correct answer is B. When a pilot relies
on memory for repetitive tasks, the use of
printed checklists is neglected in favor of mental
checklists. Over time, however, important items
can slip out of memory, whereas that would
never happen with a printed checklist in hand.
(Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge,
Chapter 17)
4. The correct answer is B. As the VOT
transmits a 360-degree radial in all directions,
when the OBS is set to 0, or 360, the TO/FROM
indicator should read FROM. When the OBS is
rotated to 180, the indicator should switch to TO.
(FAR 91.171)
5. The correct answer is A. FAR 61.23 provides a
requirement and duration table for each class of
medical certificate, type of operation, and valid
dates. When a third class medical is issued to a
pilot under the age of 40, the rule provides that
the certificate is valid for 60 calendar months. It
is important to note the age 40 stipulation, as
that applies to the issuance and duration only. If
a pilot turns 40 during the effective medical time
frame, the certificate would continue in force
until 60 months has passed; it does not expire
on his fortieth birthday. In this example, the next
medical would be issued on this pilot’s forty-first
birthday, and would be effective for only 24
calendar months.
6. The correct answer is C. The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for and
is the final authority as to the operation of that
aircraft. The aircraft manufacturer and the FAA
offer techniques and rules, but it is the PIC who
has the last word. (FAR 91.3[a])
7. The correct answer is A. FAR 91.111(b)
requires that a formation flight be arranged by
the PIC of each aircraft to be involved in the
formation. All other Part 91 flight rules apply to
the formation flight.
8. The correct answer is C. We’ve all heard the
calls from a pilot late to pick up his passengers;
however, the rules provide him no special privileges. An aircraft in distress has the right of way.
