PRE-SOLO WRITTEN EXAM 2026 LATEST COMPLETE
QUESTION AND ANSWER (CORRECTLY ANSWERED)
When practicing steep turns, stalls and maneuvering during slow flight, the entry altitude
must allow a recovery to be complete no lower than how many feet AGL?
1500 FT
When is a go around appropriate?(AFH chp.8)
Bad approach, another aircraft on runway, wind shear, wake turbulence, mechanical failure,
and unstabilized approach, or any other time successful landing is on doubt
Discuss the steps in the go around process(Cessna 150 manual)
Wing flap setting should be reduced to 20 immediately after full power is applied. After
reaching safe airspeed, flaps should be slowly retracted to full up position
What general steps should you follow after an engine failure in flight?
Pitch for best glide (65), pick best spot you intend to make an emergency landing on, follow
checklist for engine restart (check fuel on, mixture full, carb heat on, full throttle, key is on
both, master stitch)
During flight, you begin to see a gradual decrease in power. What is a likely cause and what
should be done to remedy the situation? (AFH chp. 16)
Cause is probably carb ice build up, to correct this add carb heat until RPM is restored. Also
increase power
During engine run up, you cause rocks, debris and propeller blast to be directed toward
another aircraft or person. Could this be considered careless or reckless operation of an
aircraft? Why or why not?(91.13)
This is reckless and carless, could be prevented by having prop blast go in another direction
What altitudes should you use when operation VFR in level cruising flight at more than 3000
ft AGL and what determines those altitudes? (91.159)
Course of 180-359 even thousands +500
Course of 0-179 odd thousands +500
, List the minimum equipment and instruments that must be working properly in your aircraft
for day VFR flight.
1.) Airspeed (2.) Altimeter (3.) Compass (4.) tachometer (5.) fuel gauge (6.) Oil temp and
pressure (7.)Anti-Collision light (8.) ELT (9.) seat belts
What personal documents and endorsements are you required to have before you fly solo?
Student pilot certificate, Class 3 or higher medical Cert, FAR 61.87b pre solo exam
endorsement, FAR 61.87c pre-solo flight training endorsement. 61.87N
What are your limitations as a student pilot regarding carrying of passengers or cargo and
flying for compensation or hire?
A student may not act as a pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying property for
compensation or hire. NO PASSENGERS
Who has the final authority and responsibility for the operation of the aircraft when you are
flying solo?
The pilot in command (ME)
Explain student pilot limitations regarding visibility, ceilings and flight above clouds? (61.89)
May not act as pilot in command of an aircraft with a flight surface visibility less than 3 miles
during daylight hours or 5 miles at night, or when flight can not be made with reference to
surface.
Discuss what preflight action concerning the airport and aircraft performance is specified in
the regulations for a local flight? (91.103)
1.) Weather report and forecasts, (2.) fuel requirements, (3.) Alternatives available if flight
cannot be complete, (4.) Flight manual with take off and distance data, (5.) Reliable info
including airport elevation, runway slope, aircraft gross weight and wind/temp.
What are the general requirements pertaining to the use of safety belts and shoulder
harnesses?(91.107)
The pilot in command must make sure all passengers know how to use seat belts properly. Pilot
must use safety belt at all times. Shoulder harness is required only during take off and landings.
