answer>>>Dead reckoning

When two powered vessels are coming toward each other head on, who has the right of
way? - answer>>>Both vessels should give way to the starboard (right) side
When two powered vessels are crossing paths, who has the right of way? - answer>>>The
vessel on the operator's left gives way to the right; the vessel on operator's right is stand-
on and can maintain course
When a powered vessel wishes to overtake another powered vessel, who has the right of
way? - answer>>>The vessel overtaking has the right of way and should pass on either
side; the vessel BEING OVERTAKEN is stand-on and should maintain course
,Who has the right of way concerning a powered vessel vs. a sailing vessel? -
answer>>>The powered vessel should give way to the sailing vessel; the sailing vessel is
stand-on
When it comes to a powered vessel vs. a sailing vessel in one wanting to overtake the
other, who has the right of way? - answer>>>Whichever one is overtaking (powered OR
sailing) is give-way and should pass on either side
When it comes to a sailing vessel vs. another sailing vessel, and the wind is on the SAME
side, who has the right of way? - answer>>>The leeward (downwind) vessel is stand-on
and should maintain course
When it comes to a sailing vessel vs. another sailing vessel, and the wind is on DIFFERENT
sides, who has the right of way? - answer>>>The vessel with wind on its starboard side is
stand-on
If operating a power driven vessel, to which other vessels must you give way to? -
answer>>>Any vessel not under command, restricted in its ability to maneuver, engaged
in commercial fishing, and sailing vessels UNLESS they are overtaking
If operating a sailing vessel to which other vessels must you give way to? - answer>>>Any
vessel not under command, restricted in its ability to maneuver, and any vessel engaged
in commercial fishing
Concerning aircraft, which aircraft ALWAYS has the right of way? - answer>>>Aircraft in
distress?
,When aircraft are approaching each other head on, which has the right of way? -
answer>>>Both aircraft must give way to the right
When one aircraft wishes to overtake another, who has the right of way? - answer>>>The
overtaking aircraft must pass the slower aircraft to the right and stay well clear
When aircraft of the same category are converging, who has the right of way? -
answer>>>The aircraft to the other's right has right of way
When two aircraft are converging or approaching from the side, who has the right of
way? - answer>>>The aircraft to the left must give way to the aircraft on the right
When aircraft of DIFFERENT categories are converging, who has right of way? -
answer>>>The least maneuverable aircraft has right of way
Arrange the following in order of least maneuverable aircraft to most maneuverable -
answer>>>Balloon, glider, aircraft refueling, airship, airplane/rotorcraft
When approaching for a landing, which aircraft has right of way? - answer>>>The aircraft
of lower altitude has the right of way (ALSO: aircraft in approach for landing has right of
way over others in the pattern on the ground)
Where is the longitudinal axis on an airplane? - answer>>>Along the fuselage
What does the longitudinal axis do, and what is its movement called? -
answer>>>Provides lateral stability, movement about: banking
, Where is the lateral axis on an airplane? - answer>>>Along the wings
What does the lateral axis do, and what is its movement called? - answer>>>Provides
longitudinal stability, movement about: pitching
Where is the vertical axis located on an airplane? - answer>>>It is a perpendicular axis,
and runs through the top and bottom of the fuselage
What is the movement provided by the vertical axis called? - answer>>>Yawing
What is the wing span? - answer>>>The length running from wing tip to wing tip
If wing area is doubled, what is the results? - answer>>>Doubled lift and drag
Longer wings compared to short wings result in what? - answer>>>Shallower glide angle
What does a headwind do to an aircraft during takeoff? - answer>>>shortens takeoff,
increase angle of climb
What does a tailwind do to an aircraft during takeoff? - answer>>>Lengthens takeoff run,
decreases angle of climb
One nautical mile is equal to how many statute miles? - answer>>>1 NM = 1.15 statute
mile
Nautical/Statute ratio = 8.7
