A headwind shears to a tailwind causes an initial decrease in airspeed.
- 10.When an aircraft is rapidly accelerated in straight and level, such as take- off, what inhderent precession characteristics, if any will be displayed?
- A.
The miniature aircraft would indicate a descent.
- B.
The miniature aircraft would indicate a climb.
- C.
It depends on whether the altitude indicator is an electric or vacuum type.

No precession characteristic is evident unless a force.
- 11.In the event of an engine emergency, the use of a cockpit check procedure by the flight crew is:
- A.
Not recommended because of excess time involved in its proper utilization.
- B.
Discouraged because of possible failure of the cockpit lightning system.
- C.
Required by regulations to prevent reliance upon memorized procedures.
- 12.Choose the correct statement regarding wake turbulence.
- A.
The primary hazard is loss of control because of induced roll.
- B.
The greatest vortex strength is produced when the generating airline is heavy, clean and fast.
- C.
Vortex generation begins with the initiation of the takeoff roll.
- 13.When diverting to an alternate airport because of an emergency, pilots should:
- A.
Rely upon radio as the primary method of navigation.
- B.
Apply rule-of-thumb computations, estimates, and other appropriate shortcuts to divert to the new course as soon as possible.
- C.
Climb to a higher altitude because it will easier to identify checkpoints.
- 14.Which procedure should you follow to avoid wake turbulence if a large jet crosses your course from left to right approximately 1 mile ahead at your altitude?
- A.
Slow your airspeed to VA and maintain altitude and course.
- B.
Make sure you are slightly above patch of the jet.
- C.
Make sure you are slightly below the patch of the jet and perpendicular to the course.
- 15.When receiving radar vectors, if an airplane is approaching on a collision course from your left, what action should you take?
- A.
Take whatever action is necessary to avoid collision.
- B.
Expect the other pilot to give way as required by regulations.
- C.
Wait until ATC issues a new heading altitude that will ensure adequate separation.
- 16.To avoid possible wake turbulence from a large jet aircraft that has just landed prior to your takeoff, at which point on the runway should you plan to become airborne?
- A.
Approximately 500 feet prior to the point where the jet touched down.
- B.
At the point where the jet touched down, or just prior to this point.
- C.
Past the point where the jet touched down.
- 17.During landing on a runway covered with water or slush which braking technique is most effective?
- A.
Refrain from using brakes because the wheels will lock and cause uncontrollable skidding.
- B.
Apply breaks firmly and immediately upon runway contact to establish a squeegee or drying action of the tires against the runway surface and use differential braking.
- C.
Apply moderate braking after wheels have had ample time to spin up. If a skid develops, release completely and apply moderate differential braking.
- 18.When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance?
- A.
Stay well below its final approach flightpath and land at least 2,000 feet behind.
- B.
Stay below and to one side of its final approach flightpath.
- C.
Stay above its final approach flightpath all the way to touchdown.
- 19.What is the most important procedure to follow in case of engine fire in flight wherein, there is smoke, fumes, and fire engine warning light illuminated?
- A.
Start descent to suitable landing area.
- B.
Close throttle of affected engine.
- C.
General switch (affected engine) -Off
- 20.When turbulence is encountered during the approach to landing what action is recommended and for what primary reason?
- A.
Increase the airspeed slightly above normal approach speed to attain more positive control.
- B.
Decrease the airspeed slightly below normal approach speed to prevent overshooting the landing area.
- C.
Increase the airspeed slightly above normal speed to penetrate the turbulence as quickly as possible.
- 21.How can you determine if another aircraft is on collision course with your aircraft?
- A.
There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft.
- B.
The other aircraft will always appear to get larger and closer at a rapid rate.
- C.
The nose of each aircraft is pointed at the same print in space.
- 22.Pilot -static system errors are generally the greatest in which range of airspeed?
- A.
Left turn
- B.
Maneuvering speed
- C.
Cruising airspeed
- D.

- A.
Reduce power, correct the bank attitude, and raise the nose to a level attitude.
- B.
Reduce power, raise the nose to level attitude, and correct the bank attitude.
- C.
Increase pitch attitude, reduce power, and level wings.
- 24.What procedure is recommended if a pilot should unintentionally penetrate embedded thunderstorm activity?
- A.
Set power for recommended turbulence airspeed and attempt to maintain a level flight attitude.
- B.
The pilot should reverse aircraft heading or proceed toward an area of known VFR conditions.
