Correct answer: The aircraft is East.
The trick is to know that “left downwind” means the aircraft is flying parallel to the runway, where the runway is to the “left” of the pilot, and the aircraft is flying opposite (or 180 degrees) from the Runway 13 heading of 130 degrees. Again, if you’re having trouble with compass orientation, it can be really helpful to sketch this one out on a blank sheet of paper. Make sure to review the Airport Operations lecture!
Correct answer: attack
The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of attack.
Correct answer: Within 10 days of the accident. [107.9 Accident reporting. “No later than 10 calendar days after an operation that meets the criteria of either paragraph (a) or (b) of this section[.]”]
Report the incident within 10 days of the accident.
Correct answer: Class B, C, E and D
Class G airspace is uncontrolled airspace.
Correct answer: The degrees of latitude north and south from the equator
Option B merely provides the definition of the latitude – a measurement of the distance along the south to north axis from the equator. Options A and C, on the other hand, define the longitude. Knowing the difference between the two is a basic skill in reading any kind of map.
Correct answer: Dissipating
The correct answer is Dissipating. There’s a LOT of information in the Effects of Weather on Small UAS lecture. Make sure you go through this lecture one more time if you’re missing any rote memorization questions like this. Wind shear, density altitude, temperature inversion, the different types of fog…these are all concepts you can be tested on.
Correct answer: Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes.
Letter A is the right reason.
Correct answer: When the aircraft weighs less than .55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that is on-board or attached to the aircraft.
Letter C is the right answer.
Correct answer: Within 10 calendar days.
You must report the incident to FAA within 10 calendar days.
Correct answer: Yes, these indicate military exercises at below 1500 feet AGL
These arrows with labels that are prefixed with VR or IR are indicative of military training routes. The only difference between VR and IR is that IR routes are flown under air traffic control, while VR routes are not.
Correct answer: 340 degrees
If an aircraft is left downwind of the runway, it means they’re flying parallel to the runway, in the opposite, downwind direction (the runway is to the pilot’s left, hence “left downwind”). So the opposite heading (or 180 degrees from) 160 degrees is 340 degrees. It can be helpful to sketch this type of question out on a separate sheet of paper.
Correct answer: Turbulence and showery precipitation.
Turbulence and showery precipitation are the characteristics of a moist and unstable air mass.
Correct answer: All civilian small UAS weighing greater than .55 pounds must be registered regardless of its intended use.
According to 14 CFR part 48, small UAS weighing greater than .55 pounds must be registered regardless of its intended use.
Correct answer: remain the same regardless of gross weight.
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will remain the same regardless of gross weight.
Correct answer: 122.7
The Mason Jewett Airport, with its magenta-colored symbol, is an example of an uncontrolled airport. Pilots are expected to self-announce their position and intention everytime they approach this airport because there is no air traffic control. These are broadcast on the CTAF for that airport, which is conveniently noted on sectional charts for that airport.
When looking for the CTAF for an uncontrolled airport, check for the frequency next to the magenta C symbol. The CTAF is 122.7 in the case of Mason Jewett Airport.
Correct answer: 4,000 ft. MSL
Take your time determining the location of Hicks Airport (T67). In that section of the chart, search for the fraction 110/40, which indicates the ceiling and floor of Class B airspace. Each portion contained by the blue solid line has a different ceiling and floor, so scan your eyes inside Hicks Airport's enclosed space. The 110/40 indicates that the Class B airspace ceiling is 11,000 feet MSL and the floor is 4,000 feet MSL in that part of the chart.
Correct answer: sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft.
TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft.
Correct answer: The owner is less than 13 years of age. [48.25 says, “(b) A small unmanned aircraft must be registered by its owner using the legal name of its owner, unless the owner is less than 13 years of age. If the owner is less than 13 years of age, then the small unmanned aircraft must be registered by a person who is at least 13 years of age.” Keep in mind that they are trying to make you know Part 48. There are other answers as to why a person could not register via Part 47 such as being a foreign citizen.]
Correct answer: Turbulence and good surface visibility.
Turbulence and good surface visibility are the characteristics of an unstable air.
Correct answer: 1568 feet MSL
MSL refers to the height or altitude of any object measured from the sea level. Since the sea level is approximately the same for any point on the planet, this means that all MSL measurements are measured from a single reference. From this definition, it also follows that MSL measurements will always be higher than AGL measurements. For our example, the 1568 feet in the symbol indicate the MSL measurement while the 1169 feet indicate the AGL measurement.
Correct answer: As long as the pilot has completed special awareness training and remains clear of the SFRA.
Letter A is the right answer.
Correct answer: The Certificate of Aircraft Registration.
The small unmanned aircraft’s serial number be listed in the Certificate of Aircraft Registration.
Correct answer: Follow the rules.
Follow the rules is the antidote when a pilot has the hazardous attitude of “Anti-authority."
Correct answer: Class E airspace from 700 feet
For this question, the shaded magenta circle represents Class E airspace. Specifically, the shaded magenta border refers to Class E airspace from 700 feet. Class E airspace can also be represented by broken magenta lines (surface to 700 feet) or a shaded blue line (starting at 1200 feet above).
Correct answer: Private non-towered.
Card airport is a private non-towered.
