FINAL EXAM ANSWERS

Continued from page 16

1. The correct answer is B. The airplane
doesn't know it's dark. Fly your approach
the same as you do during the day, but
be sure to add in the VASI or PAPI to help
guide you down clear of obstructions and
on the right path. (Airplane Flying Handbook, Chapter 8.)
2. The correct answer is B. Hijack, lost
communications, and emergency code use
should be avoided by the pilot, if only for a
few seconds. The best practice is to set the
transponder to standby when changing the
codes, and then turn the transponder back
on once the desired code has been entered.
(Aeronautical Information Manual, 4-1-20)
3. The correct answer is C. At low speeds,
the maximum available lifting force of
a wing is only slightly greater than the
amount necessary to support the weight
of the airplane. At high speeds, the lifting
capacity of the wing is so much greater that
a sudden movement of elevator controls
may increase the load factor beyond safe
limits. (Pilot's Handbook of Aviation Knowledge, Chapter 4)
4. The correct answer is B. Above 3,000
feet agl, minimum cruising altitudes for a
VFR flight are odd thousand foot msl intervals, plus 500 feet. 3,500, 5,500, 7,500, etc.,
when on magnetic courses from 0 through
179 degrees. (FAR 91.159)
5. The correct answer is C. This wind
cone indicates the wind is blowing from
the northwest, providing a right quartering headwind when landing to the west on
runway 26. (Pilot's Handbook of Aviation
Knowledge, Chapter 13)
6. The correct answer is B. Runways
are oriented toward magnetic north, and
generally match the indication on the
magnetic compass. The last zero is not used
in runway numbering, thus Runway 8 is
approximately 80 degrees orientation,
Runway 26 is 260 degrees, and so on.
(Pilot's Handbook of Aviation Knowledge,
Chapter 13)
7. The correct answer is A. Traffic using
the north-south runway is kept on the
west side of the airport while traffic using
the east-west runway is kept on the north
side of the airport. By flying the patterns
depicted, no flights will overfly the area
southeast of the airport. (Pilot's Handbook
of Aviation Knowledge, Chapter 13)
