1. The correct answer is C. Hypoxia means
reduced oxygen or not enough oxygen. The
greatest concern regarding hypoxia during flight is
lack of oxygen to the brain, since it is particularly
vulnerable to oxygen deprivation. Any reduction in mental function while flying can result in
life-threatening errors. (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 17)
2. The correct answer is A. A person holding a
private pilot certificate may approve an aircraft
for return to service after performing preventive
maintenance.
3. The correct answer is B. Pressure altitude is
determined by setting the altimeter to 29.92 inches
and reading the hands. In this example, that would
involve a decrease of only 0.05 inches, from 29.97
to 29.92, equivalent to roughly 50 feet. (Pilot's
Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 11)
4. The correct answer is C. The pilot in command
is always responsible for assessing his or her fitness
to fly prior to each and every flight. (FAR 91.3)
5. The correct answer is B. FAR 61.31(f ) requires
some amount of logged ground and flight instruction, and a one-time logbook endorsement from
the training instructor.
6. A blocked pitot tube. When the pitot is clogged,
air pressure in the bourdon tube (the diaphragm
inside the instrument) remains constant. Decreasing static pressure during a climb allows the
diaphragm to expand and the airspeed indication
to increase. The opposite occurs during descent.
7. The correct answer is C. Airplane, glider, and
rotorcraft are categories of aircraft. Another
category of aircraft is lighter-than-air, not balloon.
(Balloons and airships are members of the lighterthan-air category.)
8. Distrails (or dissipation trails) are streaks of
clearing that occur behind an airplane as it flies
near the top of or barely within a thin cloud
layer. The heat of exhaust and/or the mixing of dry
downwash air from the wings causes the cloud to
dissipate.
9. The correct answer is C. Poor visibility can
give a pilot the impression that he is farther from
the runway than he really is. This causes a delayed
descent and high approach. Unusually high visibility can lead to premature descents.
10. False. Pilots of most balloons and some airships
are not required to abide by this regulation.
