NFS Stage 1 Question Mistakes

(3317) The term “angle of attack” (AOA) is defined as the angle between the

• Chord line of the wing and the relative wind

• Airplane’s longitudinal axis of the airplane and the chord line of the wing

• Airplane’s center line and the relative wind

(Refer to Figure 65.) From the cockpit, marking G confirms the aircraft to be

• On a taxiway, about to enter runway zone

• On a runway, about to clear

• Near an instrument approach clearance zone

(3120) When operating in Class D airspace, each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI) shall

• Maintain a 3° glide until approximately ½ mile to the runway before going below the VASI

• Maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope until a lower altitude is necessary for a safe landing

• Stay high until the runway can be reached in a power off landing

(3305) (Refer to Figure 9, area A) How should the flight controls be held when taxiing a tricycle-gear equipped airplane into a left quartering headwind?

• Left aileron up, elevator neutral

• Left aileron down, elevator neutral

• Left aileron up, elevator down

(3840) (Refer to Figure 52) What is the recommended communications procedure for landing at Lincoln Municipal during the hours when the tower is not in operation?

• Monitor airport traffic and announce your position and intentions on 118.5 MHz

• Contact UNICOM on 122.95 MHz for traffic advisories

• Monitor ATIS for airport conditions, then announce your position on 122.95 MHz

(3710) Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should

• Check altitude, airspeed, and heading indications

• Visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance

• Announce their intentions on the nearest CTAF

(3715) During a night flight, you observe a steady red light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

• The other aircraft is crossing to the left

• The other aircraft is crossing to the right

• The other aircraft is approaching head-on

(3238-1) 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 spark plugs are fouled or shorted out or the wiring is defective

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

(3012-1) After takeoff, which airspeed would the pilot use to gain the most altitude in a given period of time?

• Vy

• Vx

• Va

(3387) If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate change in indication?

• Altimeter will indicate .15” Hg higher

• Altimeter will indicate 150 feet higher

• Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower
