Which statement is true regarding this graphical forecasts for aviation (GFA) figure ?
A. The chart primarily focuses on high-altitude flights.
B. Each full barb on the wind direction arrow represents 5 knots of wind
C. The slider bar allows you to select a specific hour for the forecast weather ✔️✔️C. The slider
bar allows you to select a specific hour for the forecast weather
What weather conditions might you expect over southeastern Texas ?
A. IFR conditions and calm winds
B. Marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with winds out of the southeast
C. VFR conditions with winds out of the northwest at 20 knots gusting to 25 knots ✔️✔️B.
Marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with winds out of the southeast
To operate in IFR conditions, you must have enough fuel to complete the flight to the first
airport of intended landing and then.
A. Hold for 15 minutes prior to performing an approach, and fly after that for 45 minutes at
normal cruising speed.
,B. Fly from that airport to the alternate airport (if required), and fly after that for 30 minutes at
normal cruising speed.
C. Fly from that airport to the alternate airport (if required), and fly after that for 45 minutes at
normal cruising speed. ✔️✔️C. Fly from that airport to the alternate airport (if required), and
fly after that for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed.
What transponder code should you use to declare an emergency not involving a hostile act ?
A. 7500
B. 7600
C. 7700 ✔️✔️B. 7600
If you experience a radio communication failure while on an IFR flight plan in VFR conditions,
you should
A. Continue the flight as assigned by ATC
B. continue the flight as filed in your flight plan
C. remain in VFR conditions and land as soon as practicable ✔️✔️C. remain in VFR conditions
and land as soon as practicable
If you experience a radio communication failure while on an IFR flight plan in IFR conditions, at
what altitude should you fly ?
A. Any altitude above the MOCA
, B. The highest of the last assigned altitude or the minimum safe altitude designated for your
sector of flight
C. The highest of the last assigned altitude, the minimum altitude for IFR operations, or the
altitude ATC has advised you to expect in a further clearance ✔️✔️C. The highest of the last
assigned altitude, the minimum altitude for IFR operations, or the altitude ATC has advised you
to expect in a further clearance
During a precision approach (PAR), what can you expect with regard to controller
communications ?
A. The controller provides only azimuth navigational guidance.
B. The controller provides precise navigational guidance in azimuth and elevation and course
deviation trend information to help you stay on the approach path.
C. When the approach ends in a circle-to-land maneuver, you tell the controller your aircraft
approach category, and the controller provides the appropriate provides MDA. ✔️✔️C. When
the approach ends in a circle-to-land maneuver, you tell the controller your aircraft approach
category, and the controller provides the appropriate provides MDA.
At the decision altitude, the pilot does not have the runway environment in sight. After adding
power to perform the missed approach and beginning to climb, he sees a break in the clouds
ahead and thinks "If I cut power and descend quickly, I might be able to see the runway and still
land." What hazardous attitude is the pilot exhibiting and what is the antidote ?
A. Attitude-Anti-authority; Antidote--It could happen to me. The weather conditions could get
worse so I should start heading for my alternate airport immediately.
