FINAL EXAM CFI QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE ANSWERS
True - Answer One way to avoid a learning plateau is to inform students that they are
normal before they happen
Cognitive - Answer What is one of the domains of learning that we talked about in class
Cognitive - Answer Which of the following is not one of the Characteristics of Learning?
True - Answer The law of primacy states that what is learned first is most often
remembered
True - Answer A negative self concept inhibits the perceptual process by introducing
psychological barriers
Self Actualization
Esteem
Safety Needs - Answer What are three levels of Maslow Hierarchy of Needs?
True - Answer Compensation disguises an undesirable quality by emphasizing a more
positive one
All answers apply (Severe anger, inappropriate laughter, mood changes) - Answer What
can be described as an abnormal reaction to stress?
Stress is a response to a threat in a given situation
Anxiety is a reaction to stress and generally involves feeling of nervousness or worry -
Answer Explain the difference between anxiety and stress
Motivation - Answer What is the dominant force which governs progress and the ability
to learn?
False - Answer Useful load is the weight of the pilot, co-pilot, passengers, baggage,
hydraulic fluid, and usable fuel
The regulations require us to become familiar with, and comply with the operating
limitations of the aircraft - Answer Why do we as pilots calculate weight and balance
prior to each flight?
6.02 LBS - Answer The standard weight of AVGAS is:
, Both are true (warm air is less dense, cold air is more dense) - Answer For a given
volume of air, which of the following is true?
Usable Fuel - Answer Basic empty weight does NOT include:
True - Answer 91.103 requires us to become familiar with all available information prior
to flight
Instrument - Answer CAS is airspeed corrected for position and _________________
error
Temperature and Pressure - Answer Computation of Density Altitude involves
consideration of _________________ and __________________
Increases - Answer True airspeed ____________ with altitude
True - Answer Pressure altitude is the aircrafts height above the standard datum plane
True - Answer It is possible that a lack of common experience could be a barrier to
communication
False - Answer When listening, it is a good idea to tune out the senders message and
think about what you are going to say instead
Role playing allows someone to experience what they will be teaching (students
pretending to be flight instructors) in real-world situations to help them find the most
effective way to relay information to a new student - Answer Describe how using role
playing during flight instruction can improve communication
The Source
The Symbol
The Receiver - Answer The three required elements of effective communication are:
A couple interferences that could affect training could be noise (such as playing music)
or vibrations (engine) that could distract the student and interfere with the learning
process - Answer With reference to the communication barrier known as "Interference"
what is one type of interference that can affect training?
It allows the student to better identify and troubleshoot issues with aircraft instruments
and systems that could occur during flight - making an overall safer and smarter pilot -
Answer Why is it important for a student to gain an in-depth knowledge of an aircrafts
system?
(1) You preflight the aircraft and everything seems fine. You begin to start the aircraft
and the engine catches fire. What are your actions?
