Chapter 4 Jeppesen Private Pilot Test Guide with Solutions.
Which aircraft has the right of way over all other air traffic? correct answers An aircraft in
distress
What action is required when two aircraft of the same category converge, but not head-on?
correct answers The aircraft on the left shall give way
Which aircraft has the right-of way over the other aircraft listed? correct answers Glider (not
airship or aircraft refueling other aircraft)
An airplane and an airship are converging, If the airship is left of the airplane's position,
which aircraft has the right of way? correct answers The airship (its the least maneuverable)
A seaplane and a motorboat are on crossing courses. If the motorboat is to the left of the
seaplane, which has the right of way correct answers the seaplane (it is to the right)
Which aircraft has the right of way over the other aircraft listed? correct answers aircraft
towing other aircraft (over airship and gyroplane)
What action should the pilots of a glider and an airplane take if on a head on collision course?
correct answers Both pilots should give way to the right.
When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for landing, the right of way belongs to
the aircraft ______ correct answers at the lower altitude, but it shall not take advantage of this
rule to cut in front of or to overtake another
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude for a pilot to
operate an aircraft anywhere? correct answers An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an
emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing what is the minimum safe altitude required for
a pilot to operate an aircraft over congested areas? correct answers An altitude of 1,000 feet
above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude for a pilot to
operate an aircraft over other than a congested area? correct answers An altitude of 500 feet
above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 1,000 feet
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, an aircraft may not be operated closer than
what distance from any, person, vessel, vehicle, or structure? correct answers 500 feet
When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be used?
correct answers Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing
Which aileron positions should a pilot generally use when taxiing in a strong quartering
headwinds? correct answers Aileron up on the side from which the wind is blowing
Which wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nosewheel equipped high-wing
airplane correct answers Quartering tailwind
, the most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during
daylight house is to use correct answers a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to
search each 10 degree sector
which technique should you use to scan for trffic to the right and left during straight and level
flight correct answers systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals
How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft? correct
answers No relative motion is apparent between your aircraft and the other aircraft.
Most midair collision accidents occur during correct answers clear days
How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tricycle gear equipped airplane into a
left quartering headwind? correct answers Left aileron up, elevator neutral
How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane into a right
quartering headwind? correct answers Right aileron up, elevator up
How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane with a left
quartering tailwind? correct answers left aileron down, elevator down
Before starting a maneuver, pilots should correct answers visually scan the entire area for
collision avoidance
Your instructor has demonstrated a maneuver and wants you to try it. What steps should you
complete to assume control of the airplane? correct answers After you instructor says "you
have the flight controls" say "I have the flight controls" and watch for your instructor to
confirm again "you have the flight controls"
What collision avoidance procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VRF on
an airway? correct answers Execute gently banks, left and right for continuous visual
scanning of the airspace
What effect does haze have on your ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?
correct answers All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual
distance
The FAA specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below
10,000 feet, day or night, and especially when operating correct answers in conditions of
reduced visibility
What is the appropriate way to use a cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) to avoid a
collision? correct answers Continuously scan for traffic by looking outside and cross check
the CDTI to learn what areas need increased attention
When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine airplane, it is important to
maintain a constant glide speed because variation in glide speed correct answers nullify all
attempts at accuracy in judgement of gliding distance and landing spot
Which aircraft has the right of way over all other air traffic? correct answers An aircraft in
distress
