green arc.
5. An aircraft is loaded with the CG at the aft limit. What are the performance
characteristics compared with the CG at the forward limit?
A. The aft CG provides the highest stall speed and cruising speed.
B. The aft CG provides the lowest stalling speed, the highest cruising speed, and
least stability.
C. Cruising speed is lower because of more induced drag created by the elevator
or stabilizer being required to provide more lift with an aft CG. - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > B. The aft CG provides the lowest stalling speed, the highest cruising
speed, and least stability.
,8. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe
altitude for a pilot to operate an aircraft anywhere?

of 2,000 feet.
B. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface and no closer than 500 feet to any
person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
C. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue
hazard to persons or property on the surface. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > C. An
altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue
hazard to persons or property on the surface.
10. To absorb maximum engine power and to develop maximum thrust, a
constant-speed propeller should be adjusted to a blade angle which will produce
a
A. large angle of attack and low RPM.
B. large angle of attack and high RPM.
C. small angle of attack and high RPM. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > C. small angle of
attack and high RPM.
5. An airship has the right-of-way over which aircraft?
A. Glider.
B. Gyroplane.
C. Aircraft towing another aircraft. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > B. Gyroplane.

A. Attitude indicator.
B. Turn coordinator.
,C. Heading indicator. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > B. Turn coordinator.
1. From which measurement of the atmosphere can stability be determined?
A. Ambient lapse rate.
B. Atmospheric pressure.
C. Difference between standard temperature and surface temperature. - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > A. Ambient lapse rate.
6. The forward speed of a rotorcraft is restricted primarily by
A. dissymmetry of lift.
B. transverse flow effect.
C. high-frequency vibrations. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > A. dissymmetry of lift.
8. Under FAR Part 61, a commercial pilot-airplane applicant is required to have a
minimum of how much cross-country experience?
A. 30 hours.
B. 40 hours.
C. 50 hours. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > C. 50 hours.
6. How are 4-cycle engines lubricated?
A. A vaporized mix of fuel and oil.
B. Mixing the lubricating oil in the fuel.
C. Forcing oil directly to the engine components that require lubrication. - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > C. Forcing oil directly to the engine components that require
lubrication.
, 9. From sunset to sunrise, no person may park or move an aircraft in a night-flight
operations area of an airport unless the aircraft
A. is in an area marked by obstruction lights.
B. is equipped with an electric landing or taxi light.
C. has lighted aviation red or white anticollision lights. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > A.
is in an area marked by obstruction lights.
10. Why should an airplane be headed into the wind for the pretakeoff check?
A. To prevent the need for more brake pressure to keep the airplane from moving
forward.
B. To obtain more accurate operating indications and to minimize engine
overheating during run-up.
C. To prevent excessive load factors which could occur during run-up if a
crosswind condition exists. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > B. To obtain more accurate
operating indications and to minimize engine overheating during run-up.
4. Hazardous attitudes which contribute to poor pilot judgment can be effectively
counteracted by
A. an appropriate antidote.
B. taking meaningful steps to be more assertive with attitudes.
C. early recognition of these hazardous attitudes. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > A. an
appropriate antidote.
8. If a wave were to form on a stationary front running east and west across the
United States, that portion east of the wave would normally
A. remain stationary with that portion west of the wave becoming a cold front.
