Answer 16

in conditions of reduced visibility.

Question 17

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

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

Question 21

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

Answer 21

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

Question 22

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

Quartering tailwind.

Question 23

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

Answer 23

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

Question 24

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

Answer 24

10 miles of any airport.

Question 25

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

Answer 25

peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing offcenter viewing.

Question 26

Eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should

Answer 26

10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second.

Question 27

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?

Answer 27

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

Question 28

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

Answer 28

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

Question 29

Susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases as

Answer 29

altitude increases.

Question 30

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

Answer 30

Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.

Question 31

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

Answer 31

Recognizing hazardous thoughts.
