at N47°40 and W98°31 Can you accept this job?
Figure 26
1. No, you can never enter restricted airspace
2. Yes, if you obtain prior permission from the controlling agency of Restricted Area
R-5401
3. No, you are unable to fly in national wildlife refuge areas. - ANSWER2. Yes, if you
obtain prior permission from the controlling agency of Restricted Area R-5401
Airspace at an airport with a part-time control tower is classified as Class D airspace
only
1. when the associated control tower is in operation.
2. when the associated Flight Service Station is in operation.
3. when the weather minimums are below basic VFR. - ANSWER1. when the
associated control tower is in operation.
What effect does high density altitude have on the efficiency of a UA propeller?
1. Propeller efficiency is decreased.
, 2. Propeller efficiency is increased.
3. Density altitude does not affect propeller efficiency. - ANSWER1. Propeller
efficiency is decreased.
The vertical limits of the portion of Class E airspace designated as a Federal Airway
over Magee Airport are (Refer to Figure 22, area 3)
Figure 22
1. 700 feet MSL to 12,500 feet MSL.
2. 7,500 feet MSL to 17,999 feet MSL.
3. 1,200 feet AGL to 17,999 feet MSL. - ANSWER3. 1,200 feet AGL to 17,999 feet
MSL.
Magee Airport on Fig. 22 is northwest of 3. The question asks for the vertical limits of
the Class E airspace over the airport. Class E airspace areas extend upwards but do
not include 18,000 ft. MSL (base of Class A airspace). The floor of a Class E
airspace designated as an airway is 1,200 ft. AGL, unless otherwise indicated.
Refer to Figure 26. You've been commissioned to fly in the wildlife preserve located
at N47°40 and W98°31 from a moving boat is it legal to fly there?
Figure 26
1. No, you can never enter restricted airspace
2. Yes, as long as you're over a sparsely populated area
3. No, you are unable to fly in national wildlife refuge areas. - ANSWER2. Yes, as
long as you're over a sparsely populated area
Every physical process of weather is accompanied by, or is the result of, a
1. pressure differential.
2. heat exchange.
3. movement if air. - ANSWER2. heat exchange.
Who would a Remote Pilot in Command contact to "CHECK NOTAMS" as it is noted
in the CAUTION box regarding the unmarked balloon?
1. Flight Service
2. NTSB office
3. FAA district office - ANSWER1. Flight Service
If the temperature/dewpoint spread is small and decreasing, and the temperature is
62°F, what type weather is most likely to develop?
1. Fog or low clouds.
2. Thunderstorms.
3. Freezing precipitation. - ANSWER1. Fog or low clouds.
What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a Military Operations
Area (MOA)?
1. Obtain a clearance from the controlling agency prior to entering the MOA.
2. Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.
3. Operate only on the airways that transverse the MOA. - ANSWER2. Exercise
extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.
