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

Question 1

A below glide slope indication from a pulsating approach slope indicator is a

Accepted Answer

pulsating red light

Answer

steady white light.

Answer

pulsating white light

Question 2

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

Question 3

While approaching to land on Runway 17 at an uncontrolled airport, you spot a lake on the east side of the airport which has ripples in the water at the southeastern edge. How should you proceed?

Accepted Answer

Check the windsock on the airfield to make the correct determination with runway choice

Answer

Change your approach and land on runway 35

Answer

Continue with your approach and land on runway 17

Question 4

What will happen during takeoff if you attempt to leave ground effect without sufficient airspeed?

Accepted Answer

The airplane will experience a nose-down change in moment.

Answer

The airplane will require a decrease in angle of attack to maintain the same amount of lift.

Answer

What will happen during takeoff if you attempt to leave ground effect without sufficient airspeed?

Question 5

Most U.S. built aircraft engines rotate the propeller clockwise, as viewed from the pilot’s seat. When the aircraft’s wheels are on the ground during the takeoff roll, torque reaction causes:

Accepted Answer

More weight to be placed on the left main landing gear.

Answer

More weight to be placed on the right main landing gear.

Answer

There is no torque reaction as long as the airplane’s wheels are on the ground

Question 6

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 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

When departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft

Accepted Answer

above and upwind from the heavy aircraf

Answer

below and upwind from the heavy aircraft

Answer

below and downwind from the heavy aircraft

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

What is the minimum visibility for a pilot to receive a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance?

Accepted Answer

3 statute miles

Answer

3 nautical miles

Answer

1 statute mile.
