Private Pilot Training - Module 2

When flying along a road, the wind from the right:

• Will not affect the airplane's ground track.

• Will cause the airplane to drift to the left of the road.

• Will cause the airplane to drift to the right of the road.

In order to fly parallel next to a straight road with a crosswind coming from the side, you must:

• Do nothing since the wind will not adversely affect your track across the ground.

• Point the nose of the aircraft away from the direction of the wind.

• Point the aircraft into the wind to offset its effect.

A line drawn from one point to another on a chart is called:

• The course.

• The track.

• The heading.

The three types of ground reference maneuvers are:

• S turns, chandelles, and slow flight.

• Rectangular course, S-turns across a road, and turns around a point.

• Rectangular courses, straight-and-level flight, and chandelles.

Ground reference maneuvers are flown:

• At lower altitudes - between 600 and 1,000 feet above the ground.

• At a minimum of 2,500 feet MSL.

• No lower than 1,000 feet above the ground.

An airplane flying in an uncontested area with persons, vessels, vehicles or structures nearby on the ground may not fly lower than:

• 500 feet above them.

• 1,000 feet above them.

• There is no altitude restriction in this situation.

How far must you remain from large stadiums that are actively hosting a sporting event?

• At least 5,000 feet above within a 1 mile radius from the stadium.

• 3,000 feet above the ground within a 3 miles radius from the stadium.

• At least 2,500 feet above the stadium within a 5 miles radius.

The rectangular course ground reference maneuver is very similar to what normal aviation procedure?

• An engine out emergency landing scenario.

• An airport traffic pattern.

• An emergency landing situation.

The preferred entry into the rectangular course maneuver is:

• A 45 degree entry to the downwind leg.

• A straight in entry.

• A 90 degree entry to the upwind leg.

When flying the crosswind leg of a rectangular course the airplane must be:

• Crabbed away from the wind.

• Flown parallel to the ground reference.

• Crabbed into the wind.
