(CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR) CERTIFICATION EXAM
PREP |
• A private pilot with an airplane single-engine land rating may act as pilot in
command of an airplane towing a glider if the pilot has -✓✓ b) three flights as pilot
in command of a glider towed by an aircraft within 24 calendar months before the
flight.
• A turbine-powered or large airplane is required to enter an airport traffic pattern
at an altitude of at least -✓✓ c) 1,500 feet AGL.
• NTSB Part 830 requires an immediate notification as a result of which incident? -
✓✓ c) Flight control system malfunction
• (Refer to Figure 48.) In flying the rectangular course, which would describe the
proper angle of bank? -✓✓ c) Corner 1 shallow to medium, corner 2 medium to
steep, corner 3 steep to medium, and corner 4 medium to shallow.
• What does the lower limit of the green arc on an airspeed indicator represent? -
✓✓ c) Power-off stalling speed in a specified configuration.
• An aircraft is loaded with the CG at the aft limit. What are the performance
characteristics compared with the CG at the forward limit? -✓✓ b) The aft CG
provides the lowest stalling speed, the highest cruising speed, and least stability.
• If the center of gravity of an aircraft is moved from the aft limit to beyond the
forward limit, how will it affect cruising and stalling speed? -✓✓ c) Decrease the
cruising speed and increase the stalling speed.
, • Given:
True course - 258 degrees
Variation - 10 degrees East
Indicated airspeed - 142 kts
Ambient Temp. - +5 degrees C
Pressure Alt. - 6,500 ft
Forecast wind - 350 at 30 kts
Under these conditions, the magnetic heading and groundspeed would be
approximately -✓✓ a) 259 degrees and 155 kts
• On a cross-country fight, point A is crossed at 1500 hours and the plan is to reach
point B at 1530 hours. Use the following information to determine the indicated
airspeed required to reach point B on schedule.
Distance between A and B - 70 NM
Forecast wind - 310 at 15 kts
Pressure atl. - 8,000 ft
Ambient temp. - -10 degrees C
True course - 270 degrees
The required indicated airspeed would be approximately -✓✓ c) 137 kts
• When an airplane is in an unusual flight attitude and the attitude indicator has
exceeded its limits, which instruments should be relied upon to determine pitch
attitude before recovery? -✓✓ b) Airspeed indicator and altimeter
• While maintaining a magnetic heading of 060 degrees and a true airspeed of 130
kts, the 150 degree radial of a VOR is crossed at 1137 and the 140 degree radial at
