Question 1

What is SRM

Answer 1

Single-pilot resource management
Much like CRM (effectively and efficiently utilizing all resources available) except you’re down a resource which of course would be a second pilot

Illness
Medicine
Stress
Alcohol
Fatigue
Emotions

Question 3

Answer 3

MOA
Controlled firing area
Prohibited
Restricted
Alert
Warning
National security
National forest

Question 4

Can you fly through a restricted area?

Answer 4

If the area is not active (‘cold’) or if you have permission from the operator

Question 5

What is a stall

Answer 5

Exceeding the critical AOA

Question 6

Can you enter a spin without being stalled

Answer 6

No

Question 7

What is AOA

Answer 7

AOA is the angle between the chord line of the airfoil and the relative wind

Question 8

What is chord line

Answer 8

The line from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wing

Question 9

What is the critical AOA

Answer 9

Aerodynamic constant for an airfoil in a given configuration
The airplane will ALWAYS stall when the critical AOA has been exceeded

Question 10

What is pressure altitude

Answer 10

The height above the standard datum plane
Setting the altimeter to 29.92 will give you the pressure altitude
Know how to calculate it

Question 11

Effects of density altitude

Answer 11

When DA is high, less air is moving through the engine and being pushed by the prop thus producing less thrust
Less air is flowing over the wings thus producing less lift
A higher TA will be required to reach Vr increasing T/O roll
TA will be higher than indicated increasing our landing roll
A high DA will have an overall negative impact on performance

Question 12

Effects of a forward vs aft CG

Answer 12

Forward
Stall speed increases
Stall recovery is easier
Cruise AOA is higher
Cruise speed is slower
Less fuel efficient
Stability increases
Maneuverability decreases

Aft
Inverse of forward

Question 16

Who can preform an annual vs a 100 hour

Answer 16

Annual: IA
100 hour: IA or AP

Question 17

When can you test an ELT and when does it need to be replaced

Answer 17

During the first five minutes after the hour
Every 12 ca mo it must be inspected
Replaced after 1 hour of cumulative usage or w/in half of the battery life

Question 18

Who should you go to with questions about okay to use medication

Answer 18

Your AME

Question 19

What do you need to do before sending a student pilot on a solo XC

Answer 19

Applicable endorsements
Review their flight plan, make sure they have complied with FAR 91.103 (preflight action, NWKRAFT)

Question 20

What is hypoxia

Answer 20

A person becomes hypoxic when, for a variety of reasons, their brain and organs have been deprived of oxygen

Question 21

Types of hypoxia

Answer 21

Hypoxic
Hypemic
Histotoxic
Stagnant

Question 22

If you’re drunk, would you be more drunk on the ground or in the air

Answer 22

I hopefully wouldn’t be flying but you would be much more drunk at altitude than on the ground

Question 23

What is a TFR

Answer 23

Temporary flight restriction

Question 24

Can you fly through a TFR

Answer 24

If you have the clearance to, yes but otherwise no

Question 25

Do TFRs have a shape

Answer 25

Usually they're circles but they are custom to the situation

Question 26

When are TFR's not a circle

Answer 26

When it would be impractical, like a firefighting TFR

Question 27

What are the different light-gun signals on the ground vs in flight

Question 28

What is wake turbulence and how does it behave

Answer 28

The wingtip vortices left behind by landing aircraft, most notable when heavy, clean, and slow They sink (several hundred feet per minute) and move with the wind, it typically takes about 3-5 minutes for them to dissipate

Question 29

What is LAHSO Do you have to accept it If you accept it, must you comply with it

Answer 29

Land and hold short operations You are not obligated to accept a LAHSO You must comply with the clearance upon acceptance unless the safety of flight is threatened

Question 30

Can a student pilot accept LAHSO

Answer 30

No

Question 31

What do the weather minimums need to be at in order to accept LAHSO

Question 32

VFR day fuel requirements

Answer 32

To your destination, and 30 minutes thereafter at cruise fuel burn

Question 33

How do you avoid wake turbulence

Answer 33

Land after the preceding aircrafts touch down point Takeoff before the preceding aircrafts touchdown point Wait for the vortices to dissipate Sidestep the runway/approach path

Question 34

Answer 35

The manufacturer

Aviate, navigate, communicate

Question 42

Positive transfer of controls

Answer 42

Your controls, my controls, your controls Verbal, visual, feel

Question 43

What is the difference between max elevation of a VFR chart vs IFR chart

Answer 43

VFR is rounded to the nearest 100' IFR requires 1000' clearance for non-mountainous terrain and 2000' clearance for mountainous terrain

Question 44

When is the ILS critical in effect

Answer 44

If towered you'll be asked to hold short 800' and 2sm

Where are you most likely to spin in the traffic pattern with a student

Answer 45
