Question 2

What should you do to determine that your emergency locator transmitter (ELT) hasn’t been activated?

Accepted Answer

Answer

Ask the airport tower if they are receiving an ELT signal

Question 3

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 4

Excessively high engine temperatures, either in the air or on the ground, will

Accepted Answer

cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage

Answer

result in damage to heat-conducting hoses and warping of cylinder cooling fans

Answer

increase fuel consumption and may increase power due to the increased heat

Question 5

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 6

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 7

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 engine-driven fuel pump and also experience failure of the radio equipment, lights, and all instruments that require alternating current

Question 8

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 9

What is the best course of action right after the engine quits in flight?

Accepted Answer

Use the emergency checklist if practical

Answer

Complete the emergency checklist immediately

Answer

Call ATC and declare an emergency

Question 10

When activated, an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) transmits on
