Answer: A. Center of gravity moves aft

Question: 3. Light beacons producing red flashes indicate:A. End of runway at departure endB. A pilot should remain clear of an airport traffic pattern and continue circlingC. Obstructions or areas considered hazardous to aerial navigation

Answer: C. Obstructions or areas considered hazardous to aerial navigation

Question: 4. Why should flight speeds above Vne be avoided?A. Excessive induced drag will result in structural failureB. Design limit load factors may be exceeded, if gusts are encounteredC. Control effectiveness is so impaired that the aircraft becomes uncontrollable

Answer: B. Design limit load factors may be exceeded, if gusts are encountered

Question: 5. During a take-off made behind a departing large jet airplane, the pilot can minimize the hazard of wingtip vortices by: A. Extending the takeoff roll and not rotating until well beyond the jet's rotation point.B. Being airborne prior to reaching the jet's flight plan until able to turn clear or its wake. C. Maintain extra speed on take-off and climbout.

Answer: B. Being airborne prior to reaching the jet's flight plan until able to turn clear or its wake.

Question: 6. Which action is appropriate if a pilot becomes involved in hijacking? A. Transmit code H on 121.5 B. Append the code PAPA to the aircraft call sign during all radio transmissions. C. Set codes 7500 on the aircraft transponder.

Answer: C. Set codes 7500 on the aircraft transponder

Question: 7. A pilot's most immediate and vital concern in the event of complete engine failure after becoming airborne on takeoff is: A. Maintaining a safe airspeed. B. Landing directly into the wind.C. Turning back to the takeoff field.

Answer: A. Maintaining a safe airspeed.

Question: 8. The pilot-in -command of an aircraft operated under IFR, in controlled airspace, shall report as soon as practical to ATC when: A. Climbing or descending to assigned altitudes. B. Experiencing any malfunctions of navigational, approach, or communications equipment, occurring in flight. C. Requested to contact a new controlling facility.

Answer: B. Experiencing any malfunctions of navigational, approach, or communications equipment, occurring in flight.

Question: 9. Which statement is true relating to the effect of low-level wind shear on airplane performance? A. A tailwind shears to a headwind causes the airplane to pitch down. B. A headwind which shears to a tailwind causes the airplane to pitch up. C. A headwind shears to a tailwind causes an initial decrease in airspeed.

Answer: C. A headwind shears to a tailwind causes an initial decrease in airspeed.

Question: 10. When an aircraft is rapidly accelerated in straight and level, such as take-off, what inhderent precession characteristics, if any will be displayed? A. The miniature aircraft would indicate a descent. B. The miniature aircraft would indicate a climb.C. It depends on whether the altitude indicator is an electric or vacuum type. D. No precession characteristic is evident unless a force.

Answer: B. The miniature aircraft would indicate a climb.

Question: 11. In the event of an engine emergency, the use of a cockpit check procedure by the flight crew is: A. Not recommended because of excess time involved in its proper utilization.B. Discouraged because of possible failure of the cockpit lightning system. C. Required by regulations to prevent reliance upon memorized procedures.

Answer: C. Required by regulations to prevent reliance upon memorized procedures.

Question: 12. Choose the correct statement regarding wake turbulence. A. The primary hazard is loss of control because of induced roll. B. The greatest vortex strength is produced when the generating airline is heavy, clean and fast. C. Vortex generation begins with the initiation of the takeoff roll.

Answer: A. The primary hazard is loss of control because of induced roll.

Question: 13. When diverting to an alternate airport because of an emergency, pilots should: A. Rely upon radio as the primary method of navigation. B. Apply rule-of-thumb computations, estimates, and other appropriate shortcuts to divert to the new course as soon as possible. C. Climb to a higher altitude because it will easier to identify checkpoints.

Answer: B. Apply rule-of-thumb computations, estimates, and other appropriate shortcuts to divert to the new course as soon as possible.

Question: 14. Which procedure should you follow to avoid wake turbulence if a large jet crosses your course from left to right approximately 1 mile ahead at your altitude? A. Slow your airspeed to VA and maintain altitude and course. B. Make sure you are slightly above patch of the jet.C. Make sure you are slightly below the patch of the jet and perpendicular to the course.

Answer: B. Make sure you are slightly above patch of the jet.

Question: 15. When receiving radar vectors, if an airplane is approaching on a collision course from your left, what action should you take? A. Take whatever action is necessary to avoid collision. B. Expect the other pilot to give way as required by regulations. C. Wait until ATC issues a new heading altitude that will ensure adequate separation.

Answer: A. Take whatever action is necessary to avoid collision.
