80 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS VERIFIED BY EXPERTS
Topics Covered :
This document covers Private Pilot knowledge for FAA/Jeppesen exam prep across six
areas:
1. Regulations & Airspace: 14 CFR Part 61/91, flight reviews, passenger currency,
medical/BasicMed, airspace classes A–G, VFR weather minimums, transponder/ADS-
B, SVFR, TFRs, ELTs, preventive maintenance.
2. Weather: METAR/TAF, clouds, fronts, icing, fog, thunderstorms, stability, pressure,
wind, density altitude, PIREPs.
3. Navigation: VOR, GPS/RAIM, sectional charts, E6B, isogonic lines, MOAs, NOTAMs,
fuel requirements.
4. Aerodynamics/Performance: AOA, load factor, stall speed, CG, Vx/Vy/Va, ground
effect, hydroplaning.
5. Aircraft Systems: Carb heat, pitot-static, gyros, mixture, magnetos, electrical,
detonation.
6. Aeromedical/ADM: IMSAFE, PAVE, DECIDE, hypoxia, spatial disorientation, CO
poisoning, night vision.
Answers in bold Green and rationale
Q1
To carry passengers as PIC, you must have made 3 takeoffs and landings within the
preceding 90 days in
A. An aircraft of the same category, class, and type if required
B. Any powered aircraft
C. A simulator only
D. At night only
Rationale: 14 CFR 61.57(a) – currency is category/class/type specific.
Q2
Class G airspace daytime visibility minimum below 1,200 AGL is
A. 1 statute mile
B. 3 statute miles
C. 5 statute miles
, D. Clear of clouds only
Rationale: 91.155 – Class G day below 1,200 AGL = 1 SM, clear of clouds.
Q3
ADS-B Out is required in
A. All airspace above 3,000 AGL
B. Class A, B, C, and above 10,000 MSL excluding at/below 2,500 AGL
C. Only in Class B airspace
D. Only when on an IFR flight plan
Rationale: 91.225 – ADS-B rules match Mode C veil + Class E >10k MSL.
Q4
A VFR flight plan should be closed by
A. ATC automatically at destination
B. The tower when you land
C. FSS after 30 minutes
D. The pilot with FSS or via radio upon landing
Rationale: AIM 5-1-13 – VFR flight plans do not close automatically. Pilot must close.
Q5
Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is
A. 30.00 inHg
B. 29.92 inHg
C. 28.92 inHg
D. 1013.25 mb only
Rationale: ISA standard: 29.92 inHg, 1013.2 hPa, 15°C.
Q6
A stable air mass produces
A. Cumuliform clouds and turbulence
B. Good visibility and showery precipitation
C. Stratus clouds, poor visibility, steady precipitation
D. Thunderstorms
Rationale: Stable = stratiform, smooth air, poor vis.
Q7
Preventive maintenance a private pilot may perform includes
A. 100-hour inspection
B. Overhauling magnetos
C. Annual inspection
D. Replacing landing light bulbs
Rationale: 43 Appendix A(c) lists pilot-approved items.
Q8
To act as PIC under BasicMed, you must have
A. A first-class medical
B. A valid U.S. driver’s license and completed medical education course
C. A third-class medical only
D. No medical requirements
Rationale: 14 CFR 61.23(c) & 68 – BasicMed alternative to 3rd class.
Q9
Load factor in a 30° bank level turn is approximately
