Preflight Procedures - FAA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Airplane

Question 1

Which aileron positions should a pilot generally use when taxiing in strong quartering headwinds?

Accepted Answer

Aileron up on the side from which the wind is blowing.

Answer

Ailerons neutral

Answer

Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing

Question 2

Which wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nosewheel equipped high-wing airplane?

Accepted Answer

Quartering tailwind.

Answer

Quartering headwind

Answer

Direct crosswind.

Question 3

Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates

Accepted Answer

true altitude at field elevation

Answer

calibrated altitude at field elevation

Answer

absolute altitude at field elevation

Question 4

(Refer to Figure 64.) On the airport diagram, which symbol indicates holding position markings for taxiway/taxiway intersections?

Accepted Answer

E.

Answer

B.

Answer

D.

Question 5

(Refer to figure 9, area C.) How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane with a left quartering tailwind?

Accepted Answer

Left aileron down, elevator down

Answer

Left aileron up, elevator neutral

Answer

Left aileron down, elevator neutral

Question 6

Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude?

Accepted Answer

When at sea level under standard conditions

Answer

When at 18,000 feet MSL with the altimeter set at 29.92.

Answer

If the altimeter has no mechanical error

Question 7

With certain exceptions, when must each occupant of an aircraft wear an approved parachute?

Accepted Answer

When intentionally pitching the nose of the aircraft up or down 30° or more

Answer

When intentionally banking in excess of 30°

Answer

When a door is removed from the aircraft to facilitate parachute jumpers.

Question 8

Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting?

Accepted Answer

The current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport elevation.

Answer

The corrected pressure altitude for the departure airport

Answer

The corrected density altitude of the departure airport

Question 9

Advisory Circulars (ACs) are issued to inform the public of nonregulatory material:

Accepted Answer

And are not binding.

Answer

And self-cancel after 1 year

Answer

But are binding

Question 10

Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?
