CFII Knowledge Test Questions and
Answers 100% Correct
What data must be recorded for VOR operational check? - ANSWER-Place of
operational check
Amount of bearing error
Date of check
Signature
Indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the right
from an easterly heading - ANSWER-Compass will indicate the approximate correct
magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth
Indication on the magnetic compass when turning left from a south heading - ANSWER-
Indicate a turn to the left, but at a faster rate
Rate of turn at any airspeed is dependent upon - ANSWER-Horizontal component of lift
Skidding turn - ANSWER-Centrifugal force is greater than horizontal lift
Load factor is increased
When airspeed is decreased in a turn, what must be done to maintain level flight? -
ANSWER-Decrease angle of bank and/or increase the angle of attack
VOR CDI from center to last dot on either side should be between - ANSWER-10 and
12º
VOR ground check - ANSWER-CDI must center within 4º of that radial with a FROM
indication
A system which transmits information the the instruments has malfunctioned. Which
instruments can you use to determine which system has failed? - ANSWER-Magnetic
compass and vacuum pressure gauge
Information that needs to be entered on the logbook for currency flights - ANSWER-
Location
Type of each instrument approach completed
Name of safety pilot
Which flight time may be logged as instrument time when on an instrument flight plan? -
ANSWER-Only the time you controlled the airplane solely by reference to flight
instruments
, Grace period - ANSWER-6 months
If pilot's IFR experience expires with July 1, when does grace period expire? -
ANSWER-Dec 31
Safety pilot needs to be... - ANSWER-at least a PPL
Minimum altitude for IFR flight - ANSWER-2000' above the highest obstacle in
mountainous terrain
1000' above the highest obstacle over the terrain elsewhere
Fuel requirements - ANSWER-Fuel to fly to the first airport

Then fly for 45 mins
No person may operate an aircraft under IFR below 2000' within a horizontal distance
of... - ANSWER-4nm from the course flown
Purpose of FDC NOTAMs - ANSWER-To advise changes in flight data which affect
instrument approach procedure aeronautical charts and flight restrictions prior to normal
publication
Where are VFR-on-top operations prohibited? - ANSWER-In Class A airspace
Vertical limits of a transition area - ANSWER-700' AGL or more to the base of the
overlying controlled airspace
Floor of Class E when designated in conjunction with an airport with IAP - ANSWER-
700' AGL
What does declaring minimum fuel to ATC imply? - ANSWER-An advisory that indicates
an emergency situation is possible
"Cruise six thousand" - ANSWER-Climbs may be made to, or descents made from
6000' at pilot's discretion
Authorizes a pilot to conduct flight at any altitude from minimum IFR altitude up to and
including 6000
Response expected when ATC issues an IFR clearance to airborne aircraft - ANSWER-
Read back those parts containing altitude assignments or vectors and any part requiring
verification
Clearance given in an abbreviated IFR departure clearance - ANSWER-Destination
airport, altitude, DP name, number and/or transition
