FINAL EXAM ANSWERS
Continued from page 16 1. The correct answer is A. Spatial disorientation can be prevented only by visual reference to reliable, fixed points on the ground or to the flight instruments. (Aeronautical Information Manual,, Chapter 8-1-5) 2. The correct answer is C. An accident is usually precipitated by a chain of events leading up to the accident, rather than by one particular incident. Break a link in the chain and the accident may be avoided. Structural failure is rare, and often a result of a weather interaction. Mechanical failure does happen, but not nearly as often as human error. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 17) 3. The correct answer is A. Trying to remain in visual conditions while continuing into deteriorating weather is referred to as scud running. A proper course of action is to make a 180-degree turn and return to an area of better weather and an alternate airport or landing site to wait for improvement. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 17) 4. The correct answer is B. Haze creates the visual illusion that traffic and terrain appear farther away than they really are, causing a potential collision hazard for an aircraft in flight. (Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 16) 5. The correct answer is A. When the PIC has determined that it would not be safe to land on the runway distance available in a LAHSO clearance, he should decline the clearance and request full length for landing. (AIM, Chapter 4-3-11) 6. The correct answer is A. To act as PIC of a high-performance airplane, both ground and flight training must have been received in a high-performance airplane. The instructor must then enter a one-time endorsement into the pilot’s logbook, certifying he is proficient to operate a high performance airplane. (Federal Aviation Regulations Part 61.31(f)) 7. The correct answer is A. Special VFR operations may only be conducted with an ATC clearance, clear of clouds, with a flight visibility of at least 1 statute mile (except helicopters), and between sunrise and sunset (again, except for helicopters). (FAR Part 91.157(b)) 8. The correct answer is C. PIC recent flight experience is detailed in FAR Part 61.57, and requires that the pilot act as the sole manipulator of the flight controls for those takeoffs and landings.
