Private Pilot Stage 3 Exam Questions
and Complete Solutions
What is the effect of a temperature increase from 25 to 50°F on the density altitude if
the pressure altitude remains at 5,000 feet? ✅1,650-foot increase.
What is the CG location after the airplane is loaded with full fuel? ✅42.66 inches
What is the maximum amount of baggage that can be carried when the airplane is
loaded as follows?
Assume an aircraft has a total weight of 2,950 pounds and a total moment of 240,700
pound-inches. If the CG range is from 82.1 to 86.7 inches, what action, if any, should
you take before you fly the aircraft? ✅Move some load aft in the aircraft.
Based on the following conditions, what is the total moment/1000 pound-inches?
Empty weight: 1,467 lb.
Empty moment/1000: 57.3 pound-inches
Pilot and front passenger: 300 lb.
Rear seat passenger: 100 lb.
Baggage area 1: 100 lb.
Fuel: 40 gal. ✅96.8
Calculate the moment of the airplane and determine which category is applicable:
Empty weight: 1,350 lb.
Empty moment/1000: 51.5
Pilot and front passenger: 310 lb.
Rear passenger: 96 lb.
Fuel: 38 gal.
Oil: 8 qt. ✅80.8, utility category.
The weight of the loaded aircraft is 2,207 pounds and the moment/1000 is a 96.8
pound-inches. According to the center of gravity moment envelope, the aircraft's CG is
✅within normal category limits but outside utility category limits.
, If your aircraft's fuel consumption rate is 5.6 g.p.h., how much fuel will it use on a flight
on 230 n.m. with an average groundspeed of 93 knots? ✅13.8 gallons
Assuming a constant fuel consumption rate throughout the flight, how much fuel will
remain after the pilot lands at the destination? ✅12.2 gallons
Determine the approximate total distance required to land over a 50-foot obstacle.
OAT: 90°F
Pressure altitude: 4,000 ft.
Weight: 2,800 lb.
Headwind component: 10 kt. ✅1,775 feet.
Determine the total distance required to land over a 50-foot obstacle. ✅1,004 feet.
Large accumulations of carbon monoxide in the human body result in ✅loss of
muscular power.
If you have several cruising altitudes selected for a flight, how are they entered in a VFR
flight plan? ✅List only the first altitude.
What is the difference between the range and the endurance of an aircraft? ✅With a
given amount of fuel, range is the distance that the aircraft can fly, and endurance is the
amount of time that the aircraft can remain in the air.
If airplane B has 280° set in the course selector, the VOR indications will correspond to
those of instrument ✅3
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft collision avoidance during
nighttime hours is to use ✅peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing
offcenter viewing.
What preparation should a pilot make to adapt the eyes for night flying? ✅Avoid bright
white lights at least 30 minutes before the flight.
The best way to view dim objects at night is to ✅use off-center viewing and avoid
staring at the object for too long.
VFR approaches to land at night should be accomplished ✅the same as during
daytime.
If a pilot experiences spatial disorientation during flight in a restricted visibility condition,
the best way to overcome the effect is to ✅rely upon the aircraft instrument indications.
