Aviation Unit 3 Test Questions and Answers Graded A+

Aviation Unit 3 Test Questions and Answers Graded A+ If the outside air temperature (OAT) at a given altitude is warmer that standard, the density altitude will be what? (Higher, Lower, or Equal to pressure altitude?) Higher than pressure altitude What effect does high density altitude have on aircraft performance? It reduces climb performance What minimum pilot certification is required for operation on Class B airspace? Private pilot certificate or student pilot certificate with appropriate logbook endorsements A blue "segmented circle" (with dashes) on a sectional chart depicts or indicates which "class" of airspace? Class D The width of a Federal Airway from either side of the airway center line is how many miles? 4 nautical miles Which atmospheric factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport? (an increase or decrease of what?) An increase in ambient temperature What sort of atmospheric conditions would decrease or reduce aircraft take off and climb performance? High temperature, High relative humidity, and High-density altitude If an aircraft is loaded 90 pounds over its maximum certificated gross weight and fuel (gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained? 15 gallons What are the items that are included in the empty weight of the aircraft? Unusable fuel, Full operating fluids, and Full engine What are the standard temperature and pressure values for sea level? 15 degrees celsius and 29.92" Hg What effect, if any, does high humidity have on aircraft performance? It decreases performance What type of weather briefing would you use if the information requested is 6 or more hours in advance of the proposed departure time? An outlook briefing What effect does high density altitude, as compared to low density altitude have on propeller efficiency and why? Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes When converting from true course to magnetic heading, a pilot should do what with the given variation? Add westerly variation and subtract left wind correction angle Responsibility for collision avoidance in an Alert Area with whom? All pilots Know the relationship of Latitude and Longitude
