Final Review

A wing can be stalled:

• At any airspeed or attitude.

• Only in an extreme nose-up position.

• Only at a speed below the stall speed of the airplane.

A weather briefing that is provided when the information requested is 6 or more hours in advance of the proposed departure time is

• an outlook briefing.

• a forecast briefing.

• a prognostic briefing.

Detonation occurs in a reciprocating aircraft engine when

• hot spots in the combustion chamber ignite the fuel/air mixture in advance of normal ignition.

• the unburned charge in the cylinders explodes instead of burning normally.

• the spark plugs are fouled or shorted out or the wiring is defective.

• All of the above

To act as pilot in command of an aircraft towing a glider, a pilot is required to have made within the preceding 12 months

• at least three flights as observer in a glider being towed by an aircraft.

• at least three actual or simulated glider tows while accompanied by a qualified pilot.

• at least three flights in a powered glider.

The zone between contrasting air masses is called a:

• High pressure area

• Front

• Low pressure area

Unless each occupant is provided with supplemental oxygen, no person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S. registry above a maximum cabin pressure altitude of

• 12,500 feet MSL.

• 14,000 feet MSL

• 15,000 feet MSL

The three takeoffs and landings that are required to act as pilot in command at night must be done during the time period from

• 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise.

• sunset to sunrise

• the end of evening civil twilight to the beginning of morning civil twilight.

The underlying principle of the right-of-way rules is to ensure:

• All aircraft are treated in the same manner.

• That each person operating an aircraft will see and avoid other aircraft.

• Airplanes operating on an airport surface have right-of-way over other vehicles.

The 'No Entry' sign identifies

• an area that does not continue beyond intersection.

• paved area where aircraft entry is prohibited.

• the exit boundary for the runway protected area.

In straight-and-level flight, if thrust exceeds drag then:

• Speed decreases.

• Speed increases.

• There is no direct correlation between thrust and drag
