Q

Are you required to read back all taxi and hold short instructions?

A

Yes

20
Q

If you do not have supplemental oxygen, what altitude can you not operate above?

A

14,000

21
Q

At what altitude must you use supplemental oxygen?

A

Anytime the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 10,000 ft MSL

22
Q

If any portion of your flight is conducted in IMC, at night, or with high-g maneuvering, how long can you remain inbetween 10,000 and 12,500 ft MSL without supplemental oxygen?

A

1 hour

23
Q

How long can you be between 12,500 and 14,000 ft MSL without supplemental oxygen?

A

30 minutes

24
Q

What must aircrew immediately report to the appropriate controlling agency inf lgiht?

A

Any hazardous weather, wake turbulence, volcanic activity, large bird activity, or any other significant flight condition that may affect flight safety

25
Q

Are you required to declare Min Fuel or Emer Fuel?

A

Yes

26
Q

If your cabin altitude exceeds 18,000 ft MSL following a rapid D, what must happen after?

A

You must be evaluated by a flight surgeon prior to further flight

27
Q

How many hours after landing can decompression sickness occur?

A

Up to 12 hours

28
Q

If you experience hypoxia in flight, are you allowed to fly once you feel better after landing?

A

No you must be evaluated by a flight surgeon

29
Q

Can you turn on landing lights prior to crossing the hold short line?

A

No you must turn them on after takeoff clearance is received and the aircraft is on the active runway

30
Q

What must the yielding aircraft not do when avoiding traffic?

A

They must not pass over, under, abeam or ahead of the other aircraft unless well clear

31
Q

Who has the right away over all air traffic?

A

Aircraft in distress

32
Q

When an aircraft of the same category are converging at approximately the same altitude, who has the right away?

A

The aircraft to the other’s right

33
Q

What shall you do if you are approaching an aircraft head on?

A

Each aircraft shall alter their course to their right

34
Q

If you are about to overtake an aircraft, who has the right away and what must you do?

A

The overtaken aircraft has the right away. You, as the overtaker, must alter your course to the right

35
Q

Whom does an aircraft on final approach have the right of way over?

A

Other aircraft on the ground or in the air

36
Q

If two or more aircraft are approaching to land, who has the right away?

A

The aircraft at the lower altitude

37
Q

What is the order of priorities for right away for aircraft of different categories?

A
  1. Balloons
  2. Gliders
  3. Aircraft towing or refueling other aircraft
  4. Airships
  5. Rotary or Fixed Wing
38
Q

Regardless if an operation is conducted under IFR or VFR, who must maintain vigilance for the see and avoid principle?

A

Each pilot operating an aircraft

39
Q

If an ATC clearance is given to you containing altitude, restrictions, vectors, headings, altimeter settings, and runway assignments. Do you have to read them back, and if so in what order?

A

Yes you must, and read them back in the order that they were given.

40
Q

Descent gradients in excess of what may induce spatial D?

A

Greater than 1 degrees (1,000 ft per NM)

41
Q

Below what altitude should you avoid a descent gradient more than 10 degress NL?

A

Below 15,000 ft

42
Q

In what knot increments are speed adjustments made?

A

10 knot increments

43
Q

What margin of error must you maintain your airspeed within (when ATC assigns you a speed)?

A

+/- 10 knots or 0.02 mach

44
Q

If ATC tells you to “resume normal speed”, does that cancel the published speed restrictions on an instrument approach?

A

No

45
Q

What is the approximate separation guide for operating near other aircraft?

A

500 ft

46
Q

Under what areas and clearances must you squawk 4000?

A

When operating VFR or IFR in restricted areas, warning areas, or on a VFR mil training route

47
Q

If you get a TAS alert, are you allowed to immediately deviated from an assigned ATC clearance?

A

You are, however, do not deviate from the clearance based solely on the TAS alert. Attempt to attain visual contact and maintain safe separation. A TAS alert does not immediately grant you clearance to deviate from ATC instructions
