Questions and CORRECT Answers
When converting from true course to magnetic heading, a pilot should - CORRECT
ANSWER - add westerly variation and subtract left wind correction angle.
Which combination of atmospheric conditions will reduce aircraft takeoff and climb
performance? - CORRECT ANSWER - high temperature, high relative humidity, and high
density altitude.
Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude? - CORRECT
ANSWER - when standard atmospheric conditions exist.
Which factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport? - CORRECT
ANSWER - An increase In ambient temperature.

(Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) What effect does a 35-gallon fuel burn (main tanks) have on the
weight and balance if the airplane weighed 2,890 pounds and the MOM/100 was 2,452 at
, takeoff? - CORRECT ANSWER - Weight is reduced by 210 pounds and the CG is aft of
limits.
(Refer to Figure 60.) How should the 500-pound weight be shifted to balance the plank on the
fulcrum? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1 inch to the left.
Which V-speed represents maximum landing gear extended speed? - CORRECT
ANSWER - VLE.
VNo is defined as the - CORRECT ANSWER - Maximum structural cruising speed
Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be - CORRECT
ANSWER - Less stable at all speeds
Why is frost considered hazardous to flight? - CORRECT ANSWER - Frost spoils the
smooth flow of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capability.
The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is - CORRECT
ANSWER - C heavy, clean, and slow.
Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's - CORRECT ANSWER -
aerodynamic balance and controllability.
During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight.
If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate change in
indication? - CORRECT ANSWER - Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower.
(Refer to Figure 26, area 2.) What is the approximate latitude and longitude of Cooperstown
Airport? - CORRECT ANSWER - 47°25 'N - 98°06'W.
