GROUND SCHOOL FINAL REVIEW
(FAA TEST) QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
if a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate
change in indication? - ANSWER-altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower
when departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by
maneuvering the aircraft - ANSWER-above and upwind from the heavy aircraft
if the magnetic bearing TO the station is 240 degrees, the magnetic heading is -
ANSWER-195 degrees
What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed
indicators? - ANSWER-maneuvering speed
what force makes an airplane turn? - ANSWER-the horizontal component of lift
with respect to the certification of airmen, which is a category of aircraft? - ANSWER-
airplane, rotorcraft, glider, lighter than air
A slight high glide slope indication from a precision approach path indicator is -
ANSWER-three white lights and one red light
As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a
particular configuration will - ANSWER-remain the same regardless of altitude
Low level turbulence can occur and icing can become hazardous in which type of
fog? - ANSWER-steam fog
An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft
CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this
airplane would be - ANSWER-difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition
which instruments will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged? -
ANSWER-airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed
under what condition may an aircraft operate from a satellite airport within class C
airspace? - ANSWER-the pilot must contact ATC as soon as practicable after takeoff
what feature is associated with temperature inversion? - ANSWER-a stable layer of
air
an airplane said to be inherently stable will - ANSWER-require less effort to control
