Sporty's Private Pilot Study
Which factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport? - correct
answer-Increase in Ambient Temperature
While on final approach for landing, an alternating green and red light followed by a flashing
red light is received from the control tower. Under these circumstances, the pilot should -
correct answer-Exercise extreme caution and abandon the approach, realizing the airport is
unsafe for landing
Should it become necessary to hand prop an airplane engine, it is extremely important that a
competent pilot - correct answer-Be at the controls in the cockpit
An approved chair-type parachute may be carried in an aircraft for emergency use if it has
been packed by an appropriately rated parachute rigger within the preceding - correct
answer-180 Days
How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft? - correct
answer-There will be no relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft
If a recreational or private pilot had a flight review on August 8, this year, when is the next
flight review required? - correct answer-August 31, 2 years later
What measurement can be used to determine the stability of the atmosphere? - correct
answer-Actual Lapse Rate
An airspace of defined dimensions, extending from 3 nautical miles outward from the coast
of the United States, that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft
is called: - correct answer-A Warning Area
If instructed by ground control to taxi to Runway 9, the pilot may proceed - correct answer-To
the next intersecting runway where further clearance is required
Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting? - correct
answer-The current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport elevation
If a certificated pilot changes permanent mailing address and fails to notify the FAA Airmen
Certification Branch of the new address, the pilot is entitled to exercise the privileges of the
pilot certificate for a period of only - correct answer-30 Days after the date of move
Under what condition may an aircraft operate from a satellite airport within Class C
airspace? - correct answer-The pilot must contact ATC as soon as possible after takeoff
In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic
compass will normally indicate - correct answer-Correct, when on a north or south heading
, For private pilot operations, a Second-Class Medical Certificate issued to a 42-year-old pilot
on July 15, this year, will expire at midnight on - correct answer-July 31, 2 years later
How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? - correct answer-Pressure levels are
raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude
When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex
avoidance? - correct answer-Stay above it's final approach all the way till touchdown
Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by - correct answer-Certain metals and
electrical systems within the aircraft
On aircraft equipped with fuel pumps, when is the auxiliary electric driven pump used? -
correct answer-In the event the engine-driven pump fails
What document(s) must be in your personal possession or readily accessible in the aircraft
while operating as pilot in command of an aircraft? - correct answer-An appropriate pilot
certificate and an appropriate current medical certificate if required
What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators? -
correct answer-Maneuvering speed
If an in-flight emergency requires immediate action, the pilot in command may - correct
answer-Deviate from any rule of 14 CFR part 91 to the extent required to meet the
emergency
When approaching to land at an airport, without an operating control tower, in Class G
airspace, the pilot should - correct answer-Make all turns to the left, unless otherwise
specified
How is engine operation controlled on an engine equipped with a constant-speed propeller?
- correct answer-The throttle controls power output as registered on the manifold pressure
gauge and the propellor control regulates engine RPM
On a turn from south: - correct answer-The compass exaggerates the rate of turn
If a person is convicted of flying an airplane while intoxicated, he or she might expect: -
correct answer-Denial of an application for an FAA certificate or rating
Pilots flying over a national wildlife refuge are requested to fly no lower than
-1,000 MSL
