should request: a standard briefing.
3. What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on
an airway?: Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual
scanning of the airspace.
4. What is the lowest altitude permitted for acrobatic flight?: 1,500 feet AGL.
5. With respect to passengers, what obligation, if any, does a pilot in
command have concerning the use of safety belts?: The pilot in command

placed (or recharged if the battery is rechargeable)?: After one-half the

'Res- ignation'?: I am not helpless.
16.Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe
altitude for a pilot to operate an aircraft anywhere?: An altitude allowing, if
