FINAL EXAM ANSWERS
Continued from p. 56
ADVERTISERS INDEX
1. The correct answer is B. Magnetic metals such
as steel and iron, as well as electrical currents, can
cause a compass installed in an aircraft to read
differently than the same compass when removed
from the aircraft. It is for this reason that the
compass deviation card notes how much heading
correction is required to steer a desired course.
(Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge,
pages 8-24 and 8-25)
2. The correct answer is A. No person may use an
ATC transponder unless, within the preceding 24
calendar months, the transponder has been tested
and inspected as per FAR Part 43 requirements.
(FAR 91.413(a))
3. The correct answer is A. The activity status,
whether active or inactive, may change frequently.
Pilots should note the status in any preflight
briefing and contact flight service while en route to
obtain accurate real-time information concerning
hours of operation of MOAs. (AIM 3-4-5)
4. The correct answer is C. Within 2,000 feet of
the ground, the friction between the surface and the
atmosphere slows the moving air. The wind speed
decreases and is diverted from its path because
of this frictional force. Generally, the wind 2,000
feet above ground level (agl) and higher is 20 to 40
degrees to the right of surface winds. (Pilot's Handbook
of Aeronautical Knowledge, p. 12-4 and 12-12)
5. The correct answer is C. The AIM further
encourages pilots to use landing lights during
takeoff, within 10 miles of any airport, and in areas
where flocks of birds may be expected. (AIM
4-3-23(c))
6. It takes a month or two for the Earth to
absorb and begin to radiate heat received by the
increasing sunlight. Similarly, the warmest month
is one to two months after the longest day of the
year (about June 21), and the hottest time of day is
an hour or two after the sun passes its zenith.
7. When inflated, the vests reminded early pilots
of the buxom Hollywood actress.
8. The correct answer is C. The point of maximum
lift coefficient is also the point at which wing
stall occurs.
9. Legend has it that flight instructors used to
tell their students that the best way to keep
from getting lost at night was to keep their
airplane directly between the position light on
each wing tip. (Sorry about that.) Lights have long
been used by mariners to help ships safely pass one
another (i.e., navigate).
10. The correct answer is C. In any frontal system,
the coldest air is at the bottom, and the warmest air
is at the top. The cool air, is therefore, in the middle.
