Answer

118.0 and 118.8 MHz

Question 3

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 4

An abnormally high engine oil temperature indication may be caused by

Accepted Answer

the oil level being too low

Answer

operating with an excessively rich mixture

Answer

operating with a too high viscosity oil

Question 5

When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed will

Accepted Answer

nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgment of gliding distance and landing spot

Answer

increase the chances of shock cooling the engine

Answer

assure the proper descent angle is maintained until entering the flare

Question 6

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 7

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 8

If the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected?

Accepted Answer

The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator

Answer

The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and turn-and-slip indicator

Answer

The altimeter, attitude indicator, and turn-and-slip indicator

Question 9

When an ATC clearance has been obtained, no pilot in command may deviate from that clearance, unless that pilot obtains an amended clearance. The one exception to this regulation is

Accepted Answer

an emergency
