Question 1

The best method to use when looking for other traffic at night is to

Accepted Answer

look to the side of the object and scan slowly

Answer

look to the side of the object and scan rapidly

Answer

scan the visual field very rapidly

Question 2

What is the objective of a stabilized approach?

Accepted Answer

The airplane should be on speed, in trim, configured for landing, tracking the extended centerline of the runway, and established in a constant angle of descent toward an aiming point on the runway

Answer

To maintain an airspeed +/- 20 knots and a descent rate of around 1,000 fpm

Answer

To be positioned and fully configured on the final approach leg at no less than 3 NM from the runway threshold

Question 3

When approaching taxiway holding lines from the side with the continuous lines, the pilot

Accepted Answer

should not cross the lines without ATC clearance

Answer

may continue taxiing

Answer

should continue taxiing until all parts of the aircraft have crossed the lines

Question 4

In slow flight, prior to a stalled condition:

Accepted Answer

The controls start to feel mushy—not as responsive

Answer

The nose of the airplane begins to bounce around the horizon

Answer

The noise of the propeller increases

Question 5

What effect will landing with a tailwind have during an engine-out approach and landing?

Accepted Answer

Increased landing distance

Answer

Decreased landing distance

Answer

Results in lower energy after the touchdown

Question 6

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if

Accepted Answer

an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading

Answer

an aircraft is decelerated while on an east or west heading

Answer

a left turn is entered from a west heading

Question 7

A constant-speed propeller is more efficient than other propellers because:

Accepted Answer

It allows selection of the most efficient engine rpm for the given conditions

Answer

An airplane so equipped will produce a faster speed at cruise altitude

Answer

It has the pitch of the propeller blades in a fixed position

Question 8

What aircraft lights are you required to use when flying at night as a private pilot?

Accepted Answer

Position lights and anti-collision lights

Answer

Landing lights and anti-collision lights

Answer

Position lights and landing lights

Question 9

What can happen when a pilot experiences an illusion while approaching to land on a runway that is narrower than the typical runway width?

Accepted Answer

The pilot will fly a lower approach, with the risk of striking objects along the approach path or possibly landing short

Answer

Risk of the pilot leveling out the aircraft high and landing hard or overshooting the runway

Answer

The tendency to fly slower than the planned final approach speed

Question 10

What input is required to maintain altitude during steep turns?

Accepted Answer

Back pressure on the yoke

Answer

Aileron in the opposite direction of the turn

Answer

Increase power
