PRIVATE PILOT STAGE 3 PRACTICE GUIDE 2026
FULL SOLUTION SET
◉ (Refer to Figure 27.) An aircraft departs an airport in the Pacific
standard time zone at 1030 PST for a 4-hour flight to an airport
located in the central standard time zone. The landing should be at
what coordinated universal time? Answer: 2230Z.
◉ (Refer to figure 22.) Determine the magnetic heading for a flight
from St. Maries Airport (area 4) to Priest River Airport (area 1). The
wind is from 340A° at 10 knots, and the true airspeed is 90 knots.
Answer: 329A°.
◉ (Refer to Figure 20, area 5.) The CAUTION box denotes what
hazard to aircraft? Answer: Unmarked balloon on cable to 3,008 feet
MSL.
◉ (Refer to Figure 26, area 3.) When flying over Arrowwood
National Wildlife Refuge, a pilot should fly no lower than Answer:
2,000 feet AGL.
◉ The vertical limit of Class C airspace above the primary airport is
normally Answer: 4,000 feet AGL.
, ◉ (Refer to Figure 21, area 2.) Which airport is located at
approximately 47A°35'30"N latitude and 100A°43'00"W longitude?
Answer: MAKEEFF.

not authorized? Answer: Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas
Love Field.
◉ (Refer to Figures 23 and 58.) Determine the compass heading for
a flight from Claxton-Evans County Airport (area 2) to Hampton
Varnville Airport (area 1). The wind is from 280A° at 08 knots, the
true airspeed is 85 knots, and the magnetic variation is 5 degrees
West. Answer: 042A°.
◉ (Refer to Figure 25, area 4.) The airspace directly overlying Fort
Worth Meacham is Answer: Class D airspace to 3,200 feet MSL.
◉ Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with
Answer: all pilots.
◉ The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on Answer:
the instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is
established.
