FINAL EXAM ANSWERS

Continued from page 20

1. The correct answer is A. In cruise, the angle
of attack changes with changes in airspeed-it
increases as speed slows and decreases as
speed increases. The critical angle of attack is
reached when the wing can no longer provide
enough lift, the result of which is an aerodynamic stall. (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical
Knowledge, Chapter 4)

3. The correct answer is B. The formula for
temperatures in Fahrenheit is-(T-DP)/4.4
X 1,000 + FE, where the spread between
temperature and dew point is divided by 4.4
(convergence rate), then multiplied by 1,000
to give the cloud base in feet above ground
level. Add to that the field elevation to obtain
the cloud base in msl. 70-48 = 22. 22/4.4 = 5. 5
x 1,000 = 5,000. 5,000 + 1,000 = 6,000. (Pilot's
Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter
11)
4. The correct answer is A. Some characteristics of a temperature inversion include warmer
air above colder air, poor visibility in the lower
levels of the atmosphere, and stratiform
clouds. Pilots will notice an increase in outside
air temperature as altitude is increased.
(Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge,
Chapter 11)
5. The correct answer is A. FAR 91.155 details
that when in Class G airspace above 1,200 feet
agl and below 10,000 msl during the day, the
minimum VFR visibility required is one statute
mile.
6. The correct answer is A. FAR 91.155 details
that when in Class G airspace below 1,200 feet
agl during the day, the minimum VFR visibility
required is one statute mile, and the pilot must
remain clear of clouds.
7. The correct answer is B. Many aircraft
accidents are not preceded by any type of
mechanical or structural malfunction; in other
words, the aircraft was operating in good
condition when the accident occurred. Pilot
judgment and human error are causal factors
in many aircraft accidents. Pilot's Handbook of
Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 17)

2. The correct answer is C. He ran out of gas
four miles short of home base. An airplane
spends more time fighting a headwind than it
does benefitting from a tailwind. His outbound
flight time was 1:29, while his inbound time
would have been 3:05. Unfortunately, the
engine quit at 3:01. Plan each flight based on
fact, not guesswork.
