PAR ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
2025/2026 GRADED A+
What regulation allows a private pilot to perform preventive maintenance? - 14 CFR
Part 43.7
What is the approximate base of a cumulus cloud if the surface air temperature at
1,000" MSL is 70'F and dew point 48'F? - 6,000" MSL (70-48=22, 22/4.4=5 thousand)
so you can add 5,000 to the 1,000 field elevation
Which items are included in the empty weight of an aircraft? - Unusable fuel and
undrainable oil (along with empty airframe, powerplant, and optional equipment
What is the action of the airplane if the ball of the inclinometer moves to the right of
center during a left turn? - The airplane is skidding
Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem? - Becoming airborne before
reaching recommended takeoff speed.
Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value? -
Standard temperature
The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing depends on the - speed of
the airplane
Which aileron positions should a pilot generally use when taxiing in strong quartering
headwinds? - Aileron up on the side from which the wind is blowing.
A pilot can expect a wind-shear zone in a temperature inversion whenever the
windspeed at 2,000 to 4,000 feet above the surface is at least - 25 knots
When flying the crosswind leg of a rectangular course the airplane must be: - Crabbed
into the wind.
What type military flight operations should a pilot expect along IR 644? - IFR training
flights above 1,500 feet AGL at speeds in excess of 250 knots.
When flying in the airspace underlying Class B airspace, the maximum speed
authorized is - 200 knots
Detonation may occur at high-power settings when - the fuel mixture ignites
instantaneously instead of burning progressively and evenly
What would decrease the stability of an air mass? - Warming from below
, The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will - remain the same regardless of
gross weight
What minimum visibility and clearance from clouds are required for VFR operations in
Class G airspace at 700 feet AGL or below during daylight hours? - 1 mile visibility and
clear of clouds.
A stable air mass is most likely to have which characteristic? - Poor surface visibility.
Which restriction applies to private pilots flying without a current medical certificate
under the guidance of BasicMed? - You may not operate an airplane for compensation
or hire.
Advisory Circulars (AC) are issued to inform the public of non-regulatory material and -
Are not binding
What is the lowest altitude permitted for aerobatic flight? - 1,500 feet AGL.
During the runup at a high-elevation airport a pilot notes a slight engine roughness that
is not affected by the magneto check, but grows worse during the carburetor heat
check. Under these circumstances, which of the following would be the most logical
initial action? - check the results obtained with a leaner setting of the mixture control
Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is the continuous broadcast of recorded
information concerning - noncontrol information in selected high-activity terminal areas.
You can expect dangerous turbulence in mountain waves and: - below rotor clouds
What are the standard temperatures and pressure values at sea level? - 15'C and 29.92
inches in Hg
The "yellow demarcation bar" indicates - Runway with a displaced threshold that
precedes the runway
With certain exceptions, when must each occupant of an aircraft wear an approved
parachute? - When intentionally pitching the nose of the aircraft up or down 30º or more.
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude
required for a pilot to operate an aircraft anywhere? - An altitude allowing, if a power
unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the
surface.
What conditions are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms? - High humidity,
lifting force, and unstable conditions
