required, takeoff and landing distance.
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? >> Correct Answer-> Yes
You may not fly as pilot of a civil aircraft within hours after consumption

What are the general requirements pertaining to the use of safety belts and
shoulder harnesses? >> Correct Answer-> Must be worn while taxing, take off, and
landing.
What is the minimum fuel reserve for the day VFR flight, and on what cruise speed
, is the fuel reserve based? >> Correct Answer-> Fly to the first point of intended
landing +30 more minutes of flight time, normal cruise speed.
A transponder with Mode C is required at all times in all airspace at and above
feet MSL, excluding that airspace at and below feet AGL. >> Correct Answer->
10,MSL, 2,5AGL.
What aircraft certificates and documents must be on board when you are flying
solo? >> Correct Answer-> AROW.
No person may operate an aircraft so close to another aircraft as to create a(n) .
>> Correct Answer-> Collision hazard.
Who has the right-of-way when two aircraft are on final approach to land at the

altitudes when flying over congested and other than congested areas? >> Correct
Answer-> Congested areas = 1000 above and 2000 horizontal from the tallest
obstacle.
Uncongested areas = 500 AGL.
Sparsely populated areas = must be 500AGL from any obstacles, persons, etc.
