Flight Training - June 2024 - 54

FINAL EXAM ANSWERS
Continued from p. 56
ADVERTISERS INDEX
1. The correct answer is C. A pilot may operate in
a restricted area if the pilot has the permission of
the using or controlling agency. It is important to
note that flight following with ATC is not a clearance
to fly through or a guarantee that the pilot
is cleared through restricted airspace; permission
must be asked for and received. (Aeronautical
Information Manual 3-4-3 and FAR 91.133)
2. The correct answer is B. Fuel required for a VFR
flight at night in an airplane would be enough to
get you to your first point of intended landing and
then an additional 45 minutes based on normal
cruising speed. Pilots may elect to carry more fuel,
as the regulation only provides for the minimum
amount that must be carried. (FAR 91.151(a)(2))
3. The correct answer is A. FAR 91.155(a) and (c).
Paragraph (a) requires three statute miles flight
visibility, and paragraph (c) states that no person
may operate an aircraft beneath the ceiling under
VFR within the lateral boundaries of controlled
airspace designated to the surface for an airport
(which describes class D in this question) when
the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet.
4. The correct answer is B. A transponder code
comprises a four digit combination, each number
ranging from 0 through 7, giving 4,096 possible
discrete codes. However, a code of 4096 is not
possible as the transponder has no number 9 to
select. 1200 is the standard code when flying VFR
and not under ATC guidance or control, and the
proper code to use after ATC terminates radar
service. (AIM 4-1-20)
5. The correct answer is B. All aircraft flying in
Class B are operating on an ATC clearance, and all
aircraft are under positive ATC control. As such,
a pilot operating under VFR and right next to a
cloud should have no concern of another aircraft
exiting that cloud at the same altitude. (FAR
91.155(a))
6. In most lightplanes and with the door ajar,
turn the door handle as if normally locking the
door closed. The locking mechanism striking the
outside of the door frame should prevent the door
from closing.
7. The correct answers are B and C. Glide and stall
speeds remain constant with changes in density
altitude, but the best angle-of-climb speed (VX
increases and the best rate-of-climb speed (VY
and VY
)
)
decreases as density altitude increases. (At the
airplane's absolute ceiling, VX
are equal.)
8. Meteorologists estimate 10 percent of all thunderstorms
produce hail. The problem is knowing
which ones do and which ones do not. Presume
that all thunderstorms produce hail.
9. False. The statements are true for an airplane,
but a student may solo a motorglider (and use its
engine) at the age of 14. They may obtain a private
pilot certificate for a glider (with or without an
engine) at 16.
10. They form a sliding seal between the piston
and the cylinder wall so that compressed or
combustion gases cannot leak past the piston
and cause power loss. They also scrape oil from
the cylinder wall so that oil does not enter the
combustion chamber and burn (causing excessive
oil consumption).
