16
Q

The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day or night, and especially when operating

A

in conditions of reduced visibility.

17
Q

What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?

A

All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance.

18
Q

What antidotal phrase can help reverse the hazardous attitude of macho?

A

Taking chances is foolish.

19
Q

The numbers 9 and 27 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately

A

090° and 270° magnetic.

20
Q

When operating an aircraft at cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet MSL up to and including 14,000 feet MSL, supplemental oxygen shall be used during

A

that flight time in excess of 30 minutes at those altitudes.

21
Q

Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight?

A

Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.

22
Q

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

A

Quartering tailwind.

23
Q

(Refer to Figure 50.) The segmented circle indicates that the airport traffic is

A

left-hand for Runway 36 and right-hand for Runway 18.

24
Q

Pilots are encouraged to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day or night, and when operating within

A

10 miles of any airport.

25
Q

The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use

A

peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing offcenter viewing.

26
Q

Eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should

A

10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second.

27
Q

A pilot and two passengers landed on a 2,100 foot east-west gravel strip with an elevation of 1,800 feet. The temperature is warmer than expected and after computing the density altitude it is determined the takeoff distance over a 50 foot obstacle is 1,980 feet. The airplane is 75 pounds under gross weight. What would be the best choice?

A

Wait until the temperature decreases, and recalculate the takeoff performance.

28
Q

How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?

A

There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft.

29
Q

Susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases as

A

altitude increases.

30
Q

Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight?

A

Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.

31
Q

In the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, what is the first step in neutralizing a hazardous attitude?

A

Recognizing hazardous thoughts.

32
Q

Large accumulations of carbon monoxide in the human body result in

A

loss of muscular power.

33
Q

Unless each occupant is provided with supplemental oxygen, no person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S. registry above a maximum cabin pressure altitude of

A

15,000 feet MSL.

34
Q

What is the purpose of the no entry sign?

A

Identifies a paved area where aircraft are prohibited from entering.

35
Q

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

A

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.

36
Q

Except in Alaska, during what time period should lighted position lights be displayed on an aircraft?

A

Sunset to sunrise.

37
Q

Airport taxiway edge lights are identified at night by

A

blue omnidirectional lights.

38
Q

An airport’s rotating beacon operated during daylight hours indicates

A

that weather at the airport located in Class D airspace is below basic VFR weather minimums.
