gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller; a. received and logged ground and flight
training from an authorized flight instructor in a complex airplane, or in a flight simulator
and have been found proficient in the operation and systems of that airplane. b.
received a one-time endorsement in your logbook from an authorized instructor who
certifies you are proficient to operate a complex airplane.
Define: Category - ANS-a broad classification of aircraft; i.e., airplane, rotorcraft, glider,
etc.
Define: Class - ANS-a classification of aircraft with in a category having similar
operating characteristics; i.e., single-engine land, multi-engine land, etc.
Define: Type - ANS-a specific make and basic model of aircraft including modifications
that do not change its handling or flight characteristics; i.e., DC-9, B-737, C-130, etc.
What are the requirements to remain current as a private pilot? - ANS-a. Within the
preceding 24 months, accomplished a flight review given in an aircraft for which that
,pilot is rated by an authorized instructor and received a logbook endorsement certifying
that the person has satisfactorily completed the review.
b. To carry passengers, a pilot must have made, within the preceding 90 days have had
3 takeoffs and landings as the sole manipulator of flight controls of an aircraft of the
same category and class (if tailwheel, landings must be to a full stop), and if operations
are to be conducted during the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour
before sunrise, 3 takeoffs and 3 landings to a full stop during that period in an aircraft of
the same category and class
To exercise the privileges of a private pilot certificate, what medical certificate is
required, and how long is it valid? - ANS-Third-class medical certificate; Before 40th
birthday: 36th month after the date of the examination, After 40th birthday: the 24th
month after the date of the examination
What documents are required on board an aircraft prior to flight? - ANS-Airworthiness
Certificate, Registration Certificate, Owner's manual or operating limitations, and Weight
and balance data
Who is responsible for ensuring that an aircraft is maintained in an airworthy condition?
- ANS-The owner or operator of the aircraft
After aircraft inspections have been made and defects have been repaired, who is
responsible for determining that the aircraft is in an airworthy condition? - ANS-The
pilot-in-command
What records or documents should be checked to determine that the owner or operator
of an aircraft has complied with all required inspections and airworthiness directives? -
ANS-The maintenance records (aircraft and engine logbooks)
Can a pilot conduct flight operations in an aircraft with known inoperative equipment? -
ANS-Yes, under specific conditions. CFR Part 91 describes acceptable methods for the
operation of an aircraft with certain inoperative instruments and equipment that are not
essential for safe flight - they are: operation of aircraft with a minimum equipment list
(MEL) and operation of aircraft without a MEL
What are the required maintenance inspections for aircraft? - ANS-Annual inspection-
within the preceding 12 calendar months
100-hour inspection - if carrying any person (other than crew member_ for hire or giving
flight instruction for hire
, Define "preventative maintenance" - ANS-Simple or minor preservation operations and
the replacement of small standard parts, not involving complex assemble operations.
Typical operations include oil changes, wheel bearing lubrication, hydraulic fluid
(brakes, landing gear system) refills.
What are "Airworthiness Directives" (ADs)? - ANS-An Ad is the medium the FAA uses to
notify aircraft owners and other potentially interested persons of unsafe conditions that
may exist. ADs are regulatory in nature, and compliance is mandatory.
What are the standard temperature and pressure values for sea level? - ANS-15 C and
29.92" Hg
What are "isobars"? - ANS-An isobar is a line on a weather chart which connects areas
of equal or constant barometric pressure
What does that spacing of isobars mean on a surface weather chart or a constant
pressure chart? - ANS-The spacing of isobars on these charts defines how steep or
shallow a pressure gradient is. When isobars are spaced very close together, a steep
pressure gradient exists which indicates higher wind speeds. A shallow pressure
gradient usually means wind speeds will be less.
What causes the winds aloft to flow parallel to the isobars? - ANS-The Coriolis force
At what rate does atmospheric pressure decrease with an increase in altitude? - ANS-1"
Hg per 1,000 feet
What does "dew point" mean? - ANS-Dew point is the temperature to which a sample of

When temperature and dew point are close together (within 5 degrees), what type of
weather is likely? - ANS-Visible moisture in the form of clouds, dew, or fog. Also, these
are ideal conditions for carburetor icing.
What factor primarily determines the type and vertical extent of clouds? - ANS-The
stability of the atmosphere.
What is the average lapse rate for temperature? - ANS-2 degrees Celsius per 1,000 feet
What conditions are necessary for structural icing to occur? - ANS-Visible moisture and
below freezing temperatures at the point moisture strikes the aircraft.
