What is the pilot's medical status? - -He still has 11 months to be able to be
a private pilot and do a local flight because the medical certificate has a 2
year validation.
- With a true course of 160 degrees, a magnetic variation of 4 degrees east,
and a compass deviation of -2 degrees, what would the compass heading
be? - -154 degrees
- A pilot is planning a flight to LA at a true airspeed of 300 knots. The
distance is 600 nautical miles, and forecasts predict a 25-knot headwind.
Approximately how long will the flight take? - -2 Hours 19 min.
- A pilot is planning a day VFR flight that will take about 2.5 hours. The

airports of intended use, and the following takeoff and landing distance
information.
- Which FAA publication provides very detailed information on airports

- How can pilots determine if the GPS signal may be unreliable during their
