Question 1

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

Question 2

How will the wind affect your engine-out gliding distance?

Accepted Answer

A tailwind increases the gliding distance

Answer

A headwind increases your gliding distance

Answer

A tailwind decreases the gliding distance

Question 3

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 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 8

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 9

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
