JEPPESEN PRIVATE PILOT COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
UPDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔What is P-factor? - ✔✔Asymmetric thrust caused by a higher angle of attack on the
right descending propeller blade, which causes the airplane to yaw to the left
✔✔What is the primary force that causes an airplane to turn? - ✔✔Centrifugal force
✔✔Select the true statement regarding load factor. - ✔✔Load factor is the ratio of the
load supported by the airplane's wings to the actual weight of the airplane
✔✔What is the recommended method of scanning for other aircraft during the day? -
✔✔A series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10 degree sector
of the viewing area
✔✔What is the most practical way to compensate for blind spots in aircraft design while
climbing or descending? - ✔✔Shallow S-turns
✔✔While heading north, you find that you are on a converging course with another
airplane headed west at the same altitude. What action should you take? - ✔✔
✔✔Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude
required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over congested areas? - ✔✔1,000 feet above
the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 2,000 feet of the aircraft
✔✔Select the true statement regarding the effect of wind during taxi. - ✔✔The most
critical situation exists when you are taxiing a high-wing tricycle-gear airplane in a
strong quartering tailwind
✔✔Your instructor is going to demonstrate a maneuver. What is the proper procedure to
transfer control of the airplane to another pilot? - ✔✔Tell the pilot, "You have the flight
controls," continue flying until the pilot says, "I have the flight controls," and then repeat,
, "You have the flight controls," while visually confirming that the pilot has the flight
controls
✔✔Refer to the illustration and determine the appropriate landing runway and traffic
patter direction. - ✔✔
✔✔What is the purpose of a displaced threshold? - ✔✔To direct pilots to land their
aircraft farther down the runway
✔✔What does a large letter "X" placed near the runway threshold indicate? - ✔✔The
runway is closed
✔✔Select the true statement regarding the airport beacon. - ✔✔Airport beacons that
indicate civilian land airports use alternating white and green lights
✔✔When using two-bar VASI lights, what will you see when you are on the proper glide
slope? - ✔✔Near bar white, far bar red
✔✔You accept a LASHO clearance but on short final you experience wind shear. Your
approach becomes unstable and you are uncertain that you can land and stop before
the intersecting runway. What should you do? - ✔✔Go around, inform ATC immediately,
and maneuver to avoid any conflicting traffic
✔✔Which is an example of a best practice to keep airports and aircraft secure? -
✔✔You call 1-866-GA-SECURE and the nearby FBO manager to report someone who
appears to be attempting to open the doors of multiple aircraft
✔✔What is the approximate latitude and longitude of Bridgeport Airport (XBP)? (1) - ✔✔
✔✔What is true about Decatur Airport? (2) - ✔✔Fuel services are available during
normal business hours
✔✔Select the true statement regarding the communication and navigation frequencies.
- ✔✔You can contact Heritage Creek UNICOM on 122.9
✔✔What is the minimum ceiling requirement for VFR operations when operating in the
traffic pattern at Ft. Worth Alliance Airport? (6) - ✔✔
✔✔What are the entry and equipment requirements to fly at 8,500 feet MSL in the
airspace at position 7? - ✔✔
