1
(Figure 42) What is indicated by the start next to the L in the airport information box for the Madera (MAE) airport north of area 2.
2
You have just completed your pretakeoff checklist and you are waiting for your takeoff clearance. Your transmitter relay has failed and you are unable to contact tower. You should taxi to face the tow4er and wait for the flashing white light.
3
To track inbound on the 215 radial of a VOR station, the recommended procedure is to set the OBS to
035° and make heading corrections toward the CDI needle.
4
What is the time enroute and fuel used under the following conditions. True course - 100°, True airspeed 90 knots, Wind - 170/15, Distance 142 NM, Fuel flow rate: 6 GPH
1 hour and 40 minutes, 10 gallons.
5
(Figure 52, point 8) What is the visibility required to maintain VFR at 600 AGL in the traffic pattern at Auburn (AUN) airport during daylight hours
1 statute mile.
6
You have flown 52 miles, are 6 miles off course, and have 118 miles yet to fly. To converge on your destination, the total correction angle would be
10°.
7
(Figure 55) Eastbound on V4687 from BTG VORTAC to YKM VORTAC, the minimum en route altitude at TROTS intersection is
11,500 feet.
8
An aircraft 60 miles from a VOR station has a CDI indication of one-fifth deflection, this represents a course centerline deviation of approximately
2 miles.
9
What is the maximum error an altimeter can indicate before it is removed from service
20 feet.
10
GIVEN: True course - 286°, True heading - 281°, True airspeed 110 kts, Groundspeed 98 kts. Determine the wind direction and speed
246° at 15 knots.
11
You are PIC of an aircraft. Prior to entering Class B airspace, you should adjust your speed to no more than
250 knots.
12
When planning a cross-country trip, you observe an isogonic line labeled 13°E. You have plotted your true course to be 263°. To fly this course correctly assuming no wind correction, you must fly an actual magnetic heading of
250°.
13
When must an operational check on the aircraft VOR equipment be accomplished to operate under IFR - Within the preceding
30 days.
14
When using VOT to make a VOR receiver check, the CDI should be centered and the OBS should indicate that the aircraft is on the
360 radial.
15
What is the maximum bearing error (+ or -) allowed for an operational VOR equipment check when using an FAA-approved ground test signal
4 degrees.
16
While maintaining a magnetic heading of 270° and a true airspeed of 120 knots, the 360 radial of a VOR is cross at 1237 and the 350 radial is crossed at 1244. The approximate time and distance to this station are
42 minutes and 84NM.
17
(Figure 55) Eastbound on V112 from BTG VORTAC near Portland Intl, the minimum altitude crossing GYMME intersection is
7,000 feet.
18
(Figure 54) What is the ceiling of class G airspace at Byron (C83) airport, Area 2
700 feet AGL.
19
For IFR operations off established airways, the route of flight portion of an IFR flight plan should list VOR NAVAIDs which are no further apart than
80 NM.
20
On an instrument approach where a DH or MDA is applicable, the pilot may not operate below, or continue the approach unless the
Aircraft is continuously in a position from which a stabilized descent to the intended runway can be made.
21
True course measurements on a sectional aeronatuical chart should be made at a meridian near the midpoint of the course because the
Angles formed by lines of longitude and the course line vary from point to point.
22
When diverting to an alternate airport because of an emergency, pilot should
Apply rule of thumb computations, estimates, and other appropriate shortcuts to divert to the new course as soon as possible.
23
For an airport with an approved instrument approach procedure to be listed as an alternate airport on an IFR flight plan, the forecasted weather conditions at the time of arrival must be at or above the following weather minimums
Ceiling 800 feet and visibility 2SM for nonprecision.
24
For an airport without an approved instrument approach procedure to be listed as an alternate airport on an IFR flight plan, the forecasted weather conditions at the time of arrival must have at least a
Ceiling and visibility that allows for a descent, approach, and landing under basic VFR.
25
(Figure 54) What is the ceiling of Class D airspace at Byron (C83) airport, Area 2
Class D airspace does not exist at Byron (C83).
26
When planning a night cross-country flight, the pilot should check for the availability and status of
Destination airport lighting systems.
27
While being radar vectored, an approach clearance is received. The last assigned altitude should be maintained until
established on a segment of a published route or instrument approach procedure.
28
Pilots are not authorized to land an aircraft from an instrument approach unless the
Flight visibility is at, or exceeds, the visibility prescribed in the approach procedure being used.
29
Isogonic lines are drawn across aeronautical charts to connect points
Having the same magnetic variation.
30
(Figure 17, Illustration 2) If the heading of the aircraft is turned to the heading marker, the aircraft will
Not join the selected radial at any time.
31
The pilot in command of an aircraft operated under IFR, in controlled airspace, not in radar contact, shall report by radio as soon as possible when
Passing each designated reporting point, to include time and altitude.
32
When navigating VFR between points that are obscured, the
180 and correct toward the CDI.
33
No pilot may act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft, under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR unless that pilot has, within the preceding 6 calendar months, completed at least
Six instrument approaches, holding procedures, intercepting and tracking courses using navigational electronic systems, or passed and Instrument proficiency check.
34
Which is true regarding STAR's
STAR's are to facilitate transition between en rote and instrument approach procedures.
35
(Figure 54, Point 6) The symbol T/SFC located in the Class C airspace at Metropolitan Oakland (OAK) indicates that
The upper limit fo the class C airspace is changing within this sector.
36
(Figure 54, point 6 & figure 907) The T in the T/15 located in the Class C airspace at Metropolitan Oakland Intl (OAK) indicates that
The upper limit of the Class C airspace is changing within this sector.
37
When the CDI needle is centered during an airborne VOR check, the omnibearing selecter should read
Within 6° of the selected radial.
