Question 1

While on a VFR cross country and not in contact with ATC, what frequency would you use in the event of an emergency?

Accepted Answer

121.5 MHz.

Answer

122.5 MHz

Answer

128.725 MHz.

Question 2

An electrical system failure (battery and alternator) occurs during flight. In this situation, you would

Accepted Answer

experience avionics equipment failure

Answer

probably experience failure of the engine ignition system, fuel gauges, aircraft lighting system, and avionics equipment.

Answer

probably experience engine failure due to the loss of the enginedriven fuel pump and also experience failure of the radio equipment, lights, and all instruments that require alternating current.

Question 3

If a pilot suspects that the engine (with a fixed-pitch propeller) is detonating during climb-out after takeoff, the initial corrective action to take would be to

Accepted Answer

lower the nose slightly to increase airspeed.

Answer

apply carburetor heat.

Answer

lean the mixture.

Question 4

Carburetor ice is most likely to occur when temperatures are:

Accepted Answer

Below 70 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the relative humidity is above 80 percent.

Answer

Above 105 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).

Answer

Below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Question 5

If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster

Accepted Answer

groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point

Answer

groundspeed at touchdown, a shorter ground roll, and the likelihood of undershooting the desired touchdown point.

Answer

airspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and better control throughout the landing roll.

Question 6

The most important rule to remember in the event of a power failure after becoming airborne is to

Accepted Answer

immediately establish the proper gliding attitude and airspeed

Answer

quickly check the fuel supply for possible fuel exhaustion.

Answer

determine the wind direction to plan for the forced landing.

Question 7

If an in-flight emergency requires immediate action, the pilot in command may

Accepted Answer

deviate from any rule of 14 CFR part 91 to the extent required to meet that emergency.

Answer

deviate from any rule of 14 CFR part 91 to the extent required to meet the emergency, but must submit a written report to the Administrator within 24 hours.

Answer

not deviate from any rule of 14 CFR part 91 unless prior to the deviation approval is granted by the Administrator

Question 8

When are non-rechargeable batteries of an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) required to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

When 50 percent of their useful life expires

Answer

Every 24 months

Answer

At the time of each 100-hour or annual inspection

Question 9

If you don’t maintain a constant glide speed in attempting to land in an emergency:

Accepted Answer

It is difficult to judge your gliding distance and landing spot.

Answer

You will land beyond your desired landing spot.

Answer

You will cause the engine to cool too rapidly.

Question 10

Detonation may occur at high-power settings when

Accepted Answer

the fuel mixture ignites instantaneously instead of burning progressively and evenly

Answer

an excessively rich fuel mixture causes an explosive gain in power.

Answer

the fuel mixture is ignited too early by hot carbon deposits in the cylinder
