requirements. correct answer: Competency Check
What is the difference between an AOC and a COA? correct
answer: AOC= Air Operator's Certificate
COA= Certifcate of Airworthiness
Maximum Air Speed Rules are always in what type of

When flying from a altimeter setting region to a Standard
Pressure Region you should set your altimeter to 29.92 just
__________ entering the SPR correct answer: After
What is the main difference between a reportable aviation
incident and accident? correct answer: a Reportable aviation
Incident does not apply to small aircraft (> 5,700 kg). It covers
emergencies (fire, going off runway, Control issues) that could
have resulted in a major accident.
,Pilots operating at an uncontrolled Aerodrome at which no
ground station exists or frequency is published should broadcast
on correct answer: 123.2
When is refueling of an air taxi flight not permitted with
passengers on board? correct answer: When the pilot-in-
command is not available to monitor the fueling
how many hours can a flight crew log in a 24 hour period? If the
pilot is single engine IFR how many hours can be logged?
correct answer: 14 and 8
When should you carry a journey Log on an Aircraft? correct
answer: At all times unless the aircraft will not land and
shutdown at another location.
When penetrating the ADIZ ETA must be within ________
minutes and _________ NMs. correct answer: 5 20
In a carburetor the fuel to air ratio is governed by... correct
answer: Mass (or weight)
What happens to the Fuel/Air ratio when Carb heat is applied?
As a result what should you do for prolong carb heat usage.
correct answer: Air is warmer therefore less dense so you
should lean the mixture for prolong use of Carb heat.
What happens to an engine when fuel is not leaned at high
altitudes? correct answer: the fuel to air mixture becomes too
rich this results in a drop of RPMs and spark plugs may foul.
,This will also result an more fuel used than calculated as per the
POH.
What happens when you lean the mixture at cursing altitude?
correct answer: You are decreasing the amount of fuel to air
ratio to compensate for the less dense air at higher altitudes.
When Carb heat is applied what happens to the fuel to air ratio?
correct answer: The fuel gets richer because the air becomes
less dense.
As the Angle of attack is increased what happens to lift and
induced drag? correct answer: They both increase.
The First Symptom of Carburetor icing is
a. Engine Roughness
b. RPM decrease correct answer: b
A turbo Charger is powered by __________ _________ and a
supercharger is powered by _____ _________ correct answer:
Exhaust gases, internally driven compressor powered by the
engine.
If the pitot tube and its drain becomes blocked What would the
Airspeed indicator do? correct answer: Act like a VSI or
altimeter
If a pitot tube becomes blocked but the drain remains clear what
will the Airspeed indicator do? correct answer: This is a partial
block which will allow the dynamic pressure to slowly leak out.
In this case the ASI will decrease to 0
, What will happen to the Airspeed indicator if the static port gets
blocked? correct answer: It will under-read more and more as
you climb and over read more and more as you descend.
What will happen to the altimeter if the static port gets blocked?
correct answer: It will freeze on the last altitude before
blockage
Where can you find the CRFI recommended value for a specific
crosswind? correct answer: Under that specific crosswind in the
Chart titled Crosswind limits for CRFI
What is a trough and how is it depicted on a GFA? correct
answer: It is an elongated are of low pressure and is shown as a
single purple line.
What does a double purple line indicate on a GFA? correct
answer: an upper air trough.
What is the difference between a trowal and a trough and how is
each depicted on a GFA? correct answer: A Trowal (or an
occluded front) occurs when cold air catches up with warm air.
It is shown on the GFA as zipper cold and warm front. A trough
is an elongated area of low pressure. It is shown on the GFA as a
single purple line.
You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 30.12. Along
the route while level at 5,000 you check the AWOS at a nearby
airport and it 30.02. What altitude are you actually at? correct
answer: 4,900
