Question 1

(Refer to figure 47.) VASI lights as shown by illustration C indicate that the airplane is

Accepted Answer

above the glide slope

Answer

off course to the left

Answer

below the glide slope

Question 2

Where is the 'Available Landing Distance' (ALD) data published for an airport that utilizes Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)?

Accepted Answer

Special Notices section of the Airport Facility Directory (A/FD)

Answer

14 CFR Part 91, General Operating and Flight Rules

Answer

Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)

Question 3

What is likely to occur if you lift off the runway before reaching rotation speed due to ground effect?

Accepted Answer

Inability to climb

Answer

Increase in stability

Answer

Decrease in thrust required to maintain flight

Question 4

After takeoff, which airspeed would the pilot use to gain the most altitude in a given period of time?

Accepted Answer

VY

Answer

VA

Answer

VX

Question 5

What can happen when a pilot experiences an illusion while approaching to land on a runway that is narrower than the typical runway width?

Accepted Answer

The pilot will fly a lower approach, with the risk of striking objects along the approach path or possibly landing short

Answer

Risk of the pilot leveling out the aircraft high and landing hard or overshooting the runway

Answer

The tendency to fly slower than the planned final approach speed

Question 6

A stabilized approach is one where the pilot:

Accepted Answer

Maintains a constant descent angle to a fixed point on the runway

Answer

Keeps adjusting the pitch attitude to maintain a constant speed to the runway

Answer

Keeps adjusting the speed to maintain a constant pitch attitude toward the runway

Question 7

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 8

A runway VASI system provides:

Accepted Answer

Visual descent information to the runway

Answer

Illumination to better see the landing area

Answer

Left and right descent guidance to the runway

Question 9

To minimize the side loads placed on the landing gear during touchdown, the pilot should keep the

Accepted Answer

longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion

Answer

direction of motion of the aircraft parallel to the runway

Answer

downwind wing lowered sufficiently to eliminate the tendency for the aircraft to drift

Question 10

What is the difference between a normal landing and a crosswind landing?

Accepted Answer

Aileron up on the upwind wing

Answer

Aileron down on the upwind wing

Answer

Aileron up on the downwind wing
