Increase of indicated airspeed during a climb

Decrease of indicated airspeed during a climb

Constant indicated airspeed during a climb or descent

Correct! Wrong!

Correct! Wrong!

Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than actually flown (true altitude)?

Air temperature lower than standard

Atmospheric pressure lower than standard

Air temperature warmer than standard

Correct! Wrong!

When turning onto a taxiway from another taxiway, the "Taxiway directional sign" indicates

designation and direction of taxiway leading out of an intersection

designation and direction of exit taxiway from runway

direction to the take-off runway

Correct! Wrong!

Direct

Parallel

Teardrop

Correct! Wrong!

ATC can issue a STAR

When ATC deems it appropriate, unless the pilot requests "NO STAR"

Only if the pilot requests a STAR in the "Remarks" section of the flight plan

to all pilots wherever STARs are avilable

Correct! Wrong!

What indications are displayed by the miniature aircraft of a turn coordinator?

Limits of f controlled airspace, military routes and special use airspace

Class A, special use airspace, Class D and Class E

Special use airspace, Class E, Class D, Class B and Class C

Correct! Wrong!

How can an IAF identified on a Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) Chart?

All fixes that are labeled IAF

The procedure turn and the fixes on the feeder facility ring

Any fix illustrated within the 10 mile ring other than the FAF or step down fix

Correct! Wrong!

Which practical test should be made on the electric gyro instruments prior to starting an engine?

Check that the attitude of the miniature aircraft is wings level before turning on electrical power

Turn on the electrical power and listen for any unusual or irregular mechanical noise

Check that the electrical connections are secure on the back of the instruments

Correct! Wrong!
