Regulations Flashcards
When flying in a VFR corridor designated through Class B airspace, the maximum speed authorized is
200 knots.
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over other than a congested area?
An altitude of 500 feet AGL, except over open water or a sparsely populated area, which requires 500 feet from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
When must a pilot who deviates from a regulation during an emergency send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator?
Upon request.
What action is required when two aircraft of the same category converge, but not head-on?
The aircraft on the left shall give way.
With respect to the certification of airmen, which are classes of aircraft?
airplane, rotorcraft, glider, lighter-than-air, powered-lift, powered parachute
FAA Advisory Circulars (some free, others at cost) are available to all pilots and are obtained by
ordering those desired from the Government Printing Office.
No person may operate an airplane within Class D airspace at night under Special VFR unless the
airplane is equipped for instrument flight.
With certain exceptions, safety belts are required to be secured about passengers during
taxi, takeoffs, and landings.
The responsibility for ensuring that maintenance personnel make the appropriate entries in the aircraft maintenance records indicating the aircraft has been approved for return to service lies with the
owner or operator.
Unless otherwise authorized, what is the maximum indicated airspeed at which a person may operate an aircraft below 10,000 feet MSL?
250 knots.
When flying in the airspace underlying Class B airspace, the maximum speed authorized is
200 knots.
A certificated private pilot may not act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft towing a glider unless there is entered in the pilot’s logbook a minimum of
100 hours of pilot-in-command time in the aircraft category, class, and type, if required, that the pilot is using to tow a glider.
An approved chair-type parachute may be carried in an aircraft for emergency use if it has been packed by an appropriately rated parachute rigger within the preceding
180 days.
During operations within controlled airspace at altitudes of less than 1,200 feet AGL, the minimum horizontal distance from clouds requirement for VFR flight is
2,000 feet.
During operations outside controlled airspace at altitudes of more than 1,200 feet AGL, but less than 10,000 feet MSL, the minimum flight visibility for VFR flight at night is
3 miles.
What are the minimum requirements for airplane operations under Special VFR in Class D airspace at night?
The pilot must be instrument rated, and the airplane must be IFR equipped.
Preventive maintenance has been performed on an aircraft. What paperwork is required?
The signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the work and a description of the work must be entered in the aircraft maintenance records.
May aircraft wreckage be moved prior to the time the NTSB takes custody?
Yes, but only to protect the wreckage from further damage.
No person may take off or land an aircraft under basic VFR at an airport that lies within Class D airspace unless the
ground visibility at that airport is at least 3 miles.
Which VFR cruising altitude is acceptable for a flight on a victor airway with a magnetic course of 175°? The terrain is less than 1,000 feet.
5,500 feet.
What minimum visibility and clearance from clouds are required for VFR operations in Class G airspace at 700 feet AGL or below during daylight hours?
1 mile visibility and clear of clouds.
If an alteration or repair substantially affects an aircraft’s operation in flight, that aircraft must be test flown by an appropriately rated pilot and approved for return to service prior to being operated
with passengers aboard.
For VFR flight operations above 10,000 feet MSL and more than 1,200 feet AGL, the minimum horizontal distance from clouds required is
1 mile.
Which incident requires an immediate notification to the nearest NTSB field office?
Flight control system malfunction or failure.
With respect to the certification of aircraft, which is a category of aircraft?
Normal, utility, acrobatic.
During operations within controlled airspace at altitudes of more than 1,200 feet AGL, but less than 10,000 feet MSL, the minimum distance above clouds requirement for VFR flight is
1,000 feet.
(Refer to Figure 22, area 1.) The visibility and cloud clearance requirements to operate at night over Sandpoint Airport at less than 700 feet AGL are
3 miles and 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally from each cloud.
