Chapter 4 Jeppesen Private Pilot Test
Guide
Which aircraft has the right of way over all other air traffic? - answer An aircraft in
distress
What action is required when two aircraft of the same category converge, but not head-
on? - answerThe aircraft on the left shall give way
Which aircraft has the right-of way over the other aircraft listed? - answer 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? - answerThe 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 - answerthe seaplane (it is to the right)
Which aircraft has the right of way over the other aircraft listed? - answeraircraft 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? - answerBoth 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 ______ - answerat 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? - answerAn 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? - answerAn 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? - answerAn 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? - answer500 feet
, When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be used? -
answerAileron 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? - answerAileron 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 - answerQuartering tailwind
the most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during
daylight house is to use - answera 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 - answersystematically 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? -
answerNo relative motion is apparent between your aircraft and the other aircraft.
Most midair collision accidents occur during - answerclear days
How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tricycle gear equipped airplane into
a left quartering headwind? - answerLeft aileron up, elevator neutral
How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane into a right
quartering headwind? - answerRight aileron up, elevator up
How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane with a left
quartering tailwind? - answerleft aileron down, elevator down
Before starting a maneuver, pilots should - answervisually 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? - answerAfter 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? - answerExecute 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?
- answerAll traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance
