FAA INSTRUMENT PILOT TEST KINGS
SCHOOLS EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
What is the meaning of a single coded identification received only once
approximately every 30 seconds from a VORTAC? - ANSWER-The DME component
is operative and the VOR component is inoperative.
You may cancel an IFR flight plan - ANSWER-if in VMC outside class A airspace.
What is the expected duration of an individual microburst? - ANSWER-Seldom
longer than 15 minutes from the time the burst strikes the ground until dissipation.
What happens to residual ice that remains after deice boots are inflated and shed
ice? - ANSWER-Residual ice increases with a decrease in airspeed or temperature.
Hazardous wind shear is commonly encountered near the ground - ANSWER-during
periods of strong temperature inversion and near thunderstorms.
If the outside air temperature increases during a flight at constant power and at a
constant indicated altitude, the true airspeed will - ANSWER-increase and true
altitude will increase.
What are the minimum fuel requirements in IFR conditions, if the first airport of
intended landing is forecast to have a 1,500 foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility at flight-
planned ETA? Fuel to fly to the first airport of intended landing, - ANSWER-fly to the
alternate, and fly thereafter for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed.
Absence of the sky condition and visibility on an ATIS broadcast specifically implies
that - ANSWER-the ceiling is more than 5,000 feet and visibility is 5 miles or more.
Thrust is managed to maintain IAS, and glide slope is being flown. What
characteristics should be observed when a headwind shears to be a constant
tailwind? - ANSWER-PITCH ATTITUDE: Decreases; REQUIRED THRUST:
Increased, then reduced; VERTICAL SPEED: Increases; IAS: Decreases, then
increases to approach speed.
Which sources of aeronautical information, when used collectively, provide the latest
status of airport conditions (e.g., runway closures, runway lighting, snow conditions)?
- ANSWER-Chart Supplement, Distant (D) NOTAMs, and FDC NOTAMs.
If a standard rate turn is maintained, how much time would be required to turn to the
left from a heading of 090° to a heading of 300°? - ANSWER-50 seconds.
What is a waypoint when used for an IFR flight? - ANSWER-A predetermined
geographical position used for an RNAV route or an RNAV instrument approach
