6
Q
During level turns in side-by-side airplanes which is characteristic of student performance?
A
Diving during left turns because the nose appears to rise during entry into these turns.
7
Q
During training for steep turns, if the nose is allowed to become excessively low, and significant altitude is lost, the pilot should

A
Airspeeds appropriate for landing approaches, and flight at reduced airspeeds.
9

A
7.
18

A
3 and 4.
24
Proper execution of S-turns across a road required that the aircraft be crabbed into the wind the greatest amounts at which points?
2 and 5.
25
While practicing S turns, a consistently smaller half circle is made on one side of the road then on the other, and this turn is not completed before crossing the road or reference line this would most likely occur in turn
4-5-6 because the bank is increased to rapidly during the early part of the turn.
26
In properly coordinated eights-on-pylons, if the reference point is behind the pylon, it means the
Airplane is above the pivotal altitude.
27
The pivotal altitude for eights-on-pylons is depended primarily upon the
groundspeed.
28
If the wing moves behind the pylon during properly coordinated eights-on-pylons the airplane is
Above pivotal altitude.
29
While performing eights on pylons the turn and slip indicator appears as shown in '2.' The pilot must
Increase altitude to obtain the correct pivotal altitude and correct the skidding turn.
30
Misuse of rudder in attempting to hold the pylon during the performance of eight on pylons will resort in which turn and slip indication
'1' if above pivotal altitude; '2' if below pivotal altitude.
31
Students should be taught that throughout a level 720° steep turn to the right the rudder is normally used to
Prevent yawning.
32
Pilots who initiates a chandelle with a bank that is too steep will most likely
Perform a comparatively level steep turn with a nose high rollout at the 180° point.
33
What may occur if the initial bank is too shallow when performing a chandelle?
Stalling the aircraft before reaching the 180° point.
34
When performing a chandelle where should maximum pitch occur?
90° point.
35
Which best describes pitch and bank during the first 90° of a chandelle?
Constant bank and changing pitch.
36
Which best describes pitch and bank during the second 90° of a chandelle?
Constant pitch and changing bank.
37
When performing a lazy eight where should the maximum pitchup altitude occur?
45° point.
38
When performing a lazy eight when should the aircraft be at a minimum airspeed?
90° point.
39
When performing a lazy eight where should the maximum pitchdown altitude occur?
135° point.
40
When performing a lazy eight when should the maximum altitude occur?
90° point.
41
What should occur at the 90° point of a lazy eight?
Steepest bank, minimum airspeed, maximum altitude, and level pitch attitude.
42
What would cause the 45° point to be reached before the maximum pitchup altitude during a lazy eight?
Beginning with too rapid a rate of roll.
43
Which is the most probable result if a pilot initiates the climbing turn portions of the lazy eight with banks that are to steep?
Turning at a rate too fast for the rate of climb and therefore completing each 180° change of direction with excessive airspeed.
44
At what point in a lazy eight is it most likely necessary to exert opposing aileron and rudder pressures in order to maintain coordinated flight?
At the point of slowest speed.
45
During practice of lazy eights the most probable cause of the uncoordinated situation at the completion of 90° turn (indicated by the turn and slip indicator shown in 1) is the
Use of too much right rudder pressure.
46
If poor aircraft controllability is experienced during an emergency go around with full flaps, the causes is most probably due to
The high-power, low airspeed situation with the airplane trimmed for a full flap configuration.
47
A go around from a poor landing approach should
Generally be preferable to last-minute attempts to prevent a bad landing.
48
During go arounds from a full flap approach in conventional airplanes which procedure should be used if the flight manual does not specify differently?
Start retracting the flaps first, then retract the gear.
49
One reason the student tends to round out high during landing is
Focusing on references that are too close or looking directly down.
50
What could be a result of a student focusing too far ahead during a landing approach?
Difficulty in judging the closeness of the ground resulting in a nose first touchdown.
51
Under normal conditions, a proper crosswind landing on a runway requires that at the moment of touchdown, the
Direction of motion of the aircraft and it's longitudinal axis be parallel to the runway.
52
During a power approach to a short field landing, the correct airspeed may be verified by
Little or no floating during the landing flare.
53
What is the correct procedure to follow if an aircraft is in the region of reverse command during a landing approach?
Decrease angle of attack and increase power.
54
Which can result when operating in the region of reverse command?
Increased nose up pitch causes increased rate of the decent.
55
What procedure should be used to correct for slight ballooning during landing?
Hold a constant landing altitude.
56
During power off stalls with flaps down, the stall occurs and the pointer on the airspeed indicator shows a speed less than the minimum limit of the white arc on the indicator. This is most probably due to
Installation error in the pitot static system
57
Which instrument would be affected by excessively low pressure in the airplane's vacuum system?
Heading indicator.
58
What suggestion could you make to students who are experiencing motion sickness?

The "taxiway location" sign serves to
Identify taxiway on which an aircraft is located.
68
When exiting the runway the "runway exit" sign indicates the
Direction to turn to exit runway onto named taxiway.
69
When an air-traffic controller issues radar traffic information in relation to the 12 hour clock the reference the controller uses is the aircraft's
Ground track.
70
How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?
Outward,upward, and around each tip.
71
What effect would a crosswind of 5 kn or less have on the wingtip vortices generated by a large aircraft that had just taken off?
The upwind vortex would tend to remain on the runway longer then the downwind vortex.
72
During a takeoff made behind a departing large jet airplane, the pilot can minimize the hazard of wingtip vortices by
Being airborne prior to reaching the Jet's flightpath until able to turn clear of its wake.
73

82
A person should be able to overcome the symptoms of hyperventilation by
Slowing the breathing rate and increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the body.
83
What type of oxygen system is most commonly found in general aviation aircraft?
Continuous flow.
84
The advantage of experiencing hypoxia in an altitude chamber is
It helps pilots learn to recognize their own symptoms in a controlled environment.
85
Anemic hypoxia has the same symptoms as hypoxic hypoxia but it is most often a result of
A leaking exhaust manifold.

93
A common student error in the performance of straight and level flight is
Attempting to establish or correct airplane attitude using flight instruments rather than outside visual references.
94
A common student error in the performance of intentional stalls is
Overreliance on the airspeed indicator while excluding other cues.
95
During training flights, an instructor should interject realistic distractions to help the student
Develop the ability to determine whether a particular distraction warrants further attention or action.
96
Flat (skidding) turns at low altitudes such as when in the traffic pattern are often the result of
A conscious or subconscious effort to avoid banking close to the ground.

Medium turns so the student has the opportunity to grasp the fundamentals of turning flight.
105
If a second class medical certificate is issued to a commercial pilot 13 months ago during the next 11 months the pilot may
Act as PIC and carry passengers and property, but not for compensation or hire.
106
The purpose of an elevator trim stall is to demonstrate
The results of applying full power for a go around and not maintaining positive control.
107
During the performance of eight on pylons if the pilot appears to move forward of the reference line the pilot should
Apply forward elevator pressure to lower the nose.
108
Which of the following is true concerning stall/spin awareness training?
In-flight stall/spin awareness training should include "demonstration" maneuvers such as cross-control stalls even if not required by practical test standards.
109
You are preparing a student for the addition of an airplane multiengine land rating to an existing private pilot certificate with airplane single-engine land and instrument airplane rating on that certificate.
