Questions with Accurate Answers
A controller may issue a safety alert to an aircraft under his control when that
aircraft is correct answer unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or another
aircraft.
A large letter "X" placed near the runway threshold indicates the correct answer
runway is closed
A power loss occurs when you apply carburetor heat because correct answer less
dense air is entering the engine.
According to the markings on the accompanying airspeed indicator, what is the
maximum speed with flaps fully extended? correct answer 85 knots (white arc)
After departing runway 36, you make a left turn to a heading of 180º. If the
magnetic compass initially indicates a turn in the opposite direction, you should
know that this reaction is correct answer normal for all magnetic compasses
under similar conditions. (magnetic dip)

answer a military airport
