Why is it important to keep the flaps in the up position while taxiing?

• To prevent damage from pebbles blown by the propellers

• To increase the speed of the airplane

• To reduce fuel consumption

• To improve visibility for the pilot

What is the primary method for steering the airplane during taxiing?

• Using the brakes

• Using the outboard engines

• Using the rudder

• Using the ailerons

During the engine run-up, what indicates that the turbo is functioning properly?

• The manifold pressure drops

• The manifold pressure remains constant

• The manifold pressure increases

• The RPM decreases

What should the copilot do before takeoff to ensure the wing flaps are set correctly?

• Inspect the landing gear

• Adjust the throttle

• Look at the wing flap position indicator

• Check the fuel levels

At what airspeed should the control column be pulled back to achieve a flying attitude?

• 95 mph

• 100 mph

• 90 mph

• 85 mph
