FINAL EXAM ANSWERS
Continued from p. 56
ADVERTISERS INDEX
1. The correct answer is A. VFR flight is not prohibited
within a MOA. However, it would not be
out of the norm to see military aircraft performing
air combat tactics and aerobatics, often at speeds
more than 250 knots below 10,000 feet. Maintain
vigilance and contact the controlling agency for
advisories. Aeronautical Information Manual 3-4-5
2. The correct answer is B. A standard rate turn is
a turn of 3 degrees of heading change per second.
A quick and dirty formula to determine bank angle
is to divide the airspeed by 10 and add one-half
the result. Instruments students are taught to use
15 degrees of bank which, at 90 knots in a GA
training airplane is just about right. However, it is
important to know that the bank angle required is
directly proportional to the airspeed-the slower
the speed, the shallower the bank. Pilot's Handbook
of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 5
3. The correct answer is A. In a runway centerline
lighting system, centerline lights are white until the
last 3,000 feet of the runway. White and red alternating
lights are used for the next 2,000 feet, and
for the last 1,000 feet of the runway, all centerline
lights are red. AIM 2-1-5
4. The correct answer is C. Setting up a crab into
the wind to compensate for a crosswind is done
by using coordinated control input. Slipping and
skidding, answers A and B respectively, are poor
technique to correct for a crosswind while cruising.
PHAK, chapter 5
5. The correct answer is B. Time to travel 620
nautical miles at 167 knots is 3.71 hours, or about 3
hours, 42 minutes (620/167). Total fuel consumed
in that time at 15.3 gallons per hour would be 56.8
gallons (3.71x15.3).
6. The propeller governor would lose its ability to
maintain a constant propeller speed (rpm), and
the turbocharger would fail if it has an automatic
wastegate that is controlled by engine oil pressure
working against a spring.
7. The correct answer is D. Sirius comes from the
Greek word Seirius, which means " searing. " Known
as the Dog Star, it is twice as bright as any other
star in the night sky. The best known, Polaris, the
North Star, is relatively dim.
8. The most common explanation is that it
reminded some of the rolling motion of a highspeed
ice-skater on the frozen canals of Holland.
9. True and false. It is true in the case of a
pressure-type instrument transducer, and it is
the opposite-a lower-than-normal fuel flow
indication-in the case of a newer-style, turbine
(paddlewheel) transducer. A pilot should know the
type of fuel-flow sensor in his or her aircraft.
10. False. The test function tests only the indicator
lights, not the marker beacon receiver or its
audio circuit.
