Takeoffs, Landings, and Go-Arounds - FAA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Airplane

Question 1

(Refer to figure 47.) While on final approach to a runway equipped with a standard 2-bar VASI, the lights appear as shown by illustration D. This means that the aircraft is

Accepted Answer

below the glide slope

Answer

on the glide slope

Answer

above the glide slope

Question 2

Who has final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance?

Accepted Answer

Pilot in command

Answer

Air Traffic Controller

Answer

Second in command

Question 3

Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to

Accepted Answer

sink below the aircraft generating turbulence

Answer

rise into the traffic pattern

Answer

rise into the takeoff or landing path of a crossing runway

Question 4

During the takeoff roll, you observe a lower RPM than normal. How should you proceed?

Accepted Answer

Abort the takeoff

Answer

Continue the takeoff

Answer

Rotate at a higher than normal speed

Question 5

When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance?

Accepted Answer

Stay above its final approach flightpath all the way to touchdown

Answer

Stay well below its final approach flightpath and land at least 2,000 feet behind

Answer

Stay below and to one side of its final approach flightpath

Question 6

What is the objective of a stabilized approach?

Accepted Answer

The airplane should be on speed, in trim, configured for landing, tracking the extended centerline of the runway, and established in a constant angle of descent toward an aiming point on the runway

Answer

To maintain an airspeed +/- 20 knots and a descent rate of around 1,000 fpm

Answer

To be positioned and fully configured on the final approach leg at no less than 3 NM from the runway threshold

Question 7

What is wake turbulence?

Accepted Answer

The counter rotating vortices off the wingtips of an airplane generating lift

Answer

The air trailing behind an aircraft due to its prop wash while on the ground

Answer

The air trailing behind an aircraft due to its prop wash in flight

Question 8

What is the recommended glide path angle when flying a stabilized approach?

Accepted Answer

3 degrees

Answer

2 degrees

Answer

4 degrees

Question 9

How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?

Accepted Answer

Outward, upward, and around each tip

Answer

Inward, upward, and counterclockwise

Answer

Inward, upward, and around each tip

Question 10

When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI), the pilot shall

Accepted Answer

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope

Answer

maintain an altitude that captures the glide slope at least 2 miles downwind from the runway threshold

Answer

remain on the glide slope and land between the two-light bar
