Strategies Review of Key Quizzes with
100% Correct Answer (Rated Grade
Quiz_________________?
After aircraft inspections have been made and defects have been repaired, who is
responsible for determining that the aircraft is in an airworthy condition? -
Answer✅
The pilot-in-command
Quiz_________________?
At what rate does atmospheric pressure decrease with an increase in altitude? -
Answer✅
1" Hg per 1,000 feet
Quiz_________________?
Can a pilot conduct flight operations in an aircraft with known inoperative equipment? -
Answer✅
Yes, under specific conditions. CFR Part 91 describes acceptable methods for the operation
of an aircraft with certain inoperative instruments and equipment that are not essential for
safe flight - they are: operation of aircraft with a minimum equipment list (MEL) and
operation of aircraft without a MEL

, Quiz_________________?
Can other types of fuel be used if the specified grade is not available? -
Answer✅
Airplane engines are designed to operate using a specific grade of fuel as recommended by
the manufacturer. If the proper grade of fuel is not available, it is possible, but not desirable,
to use the next higher grade as a substitute. Always reverence to the aircraft's AFM or
POH.
Quiz_________________?
Define "preventative maintenance" -
Answer✅
Simple or minor preservation operations and the replacement of small standard parts, not
involving complex assemble operations. Typical operations include oil changes, wheel
bearing lubrication, hydraulic fluid (brakes, landing gear system) refills.
Quiz_________________?
Define and state how you would determine: Absolute altitude -
Answer✅
The vertical distance of an aircraft above the terrain.
Quiz_________________?
Define and state how you would determine: Density altitude -
Answer✅
Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature variations. Directly related to an
aircraft's takeoff, climb, and landing performance.
2
, Quiz_________________?
Define and state how you would determine: Indicated altitude -
Answer✅
The altitude read directly from the altimeter (uncorrected) after it is set to the current
altimeter setting.
Quiz_________________?
Define and state how you would determine: Pressure altitude -
Answer✅
The altitude when the altimeter setting window is adjusted to 29.92. Pressure altitude is
used for computer solutions to determine density altitude, true altitude, true airspeed, etc.
Quiz_________________?
Define and state how you would determine: True altitude -
Answer✅
The true vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level. Airport, terrain, and obstacle
elevations found on aeronautical charts are true altitudes.
Quiz_________________?
Define the term "maneuvering speed." -
Answer✅
the maximum speed at which abrupt control movement can be applied or at which the
airplane could be flown in turbulence without exceeding design load factor limits
Quiz_________________?
3
, Define the term "pressure altitude," and state why it is important. -
Answer✅
Pressure altitude is the altitude in the standard atmosphere corresponding to a particular
pressure level. Pressure altitude is important as a basis for determining aircraft performance
as well as for assigning flight levels to aircraft operating at high altitude. Pressure altitude can
be determined by setting the barometric scale of the altimeter to 29.92" Hg and reading the
indicated altitude.
Quiz_________________?
Define the term "wind shear," and state the areas in which it is likely to occur. -
Answer✅
The rate of change of wind velocity (direction and/or speed) per unit distance;
conventionally expressed as vertical or horizontal wind shear; can occur at any level in the
atmosphere but 3 areas are of special concern: wind shear with a low-level temperature
inversion, wind shear in a frontal zone or thunderstorm, clear air turbulence at high levels
associated with a jet stream or strong circulation
Quiz_________________?
Define: Arm -
Answer✅
the horizontal distance in inches from the reference datum line to the center of gravity of
the item.
Quiz_________________?
Define: Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) -
Answer✅
The airspeed indicator reading corrected for position and instrument errors.
