in bold are my answers: I got one wrong!

Answer 2001 The risk of being involved in a runway incursion can be greatly reduced by

A- Improving communication skills, knowledge of airport taxiways and runways, and cockpit procedures.
B- Avoiding non-towered airports.
C- Not accepting "land and hold short" clearances.
2002 Maximum gliding distance of an aircraft is obtained when

A- induced drag and parasite drag are equal.
B- induced drag equals the coefficient of lift.
C- parasite drag is the least.
2003 Most stall/spin accidents occur

A- during practice of intentional spins.
B- in the traffic pattern (takeoff, approach and landing, go-around).
C- when practicing stalls.
2004 Which of the following are necessary to enter a spin?

A- A stalled wing and no engine power.
B- Full back elevator and full aileron deflection.
C- A stalled wing and a yawing moment.
2005 The critical angle of attack at which a given aircraft stalls is dependent on the

A- Attitude and airspeed.
B- Gross weight.
C- Design of the wing.
2006 Which of the following best describes spin recovery technique?
A- Apply full aileron against the direction of spin rotation, then apply full forward elevator.
B- Apply full forward elevator followed by a coordinated rollout from the resulting steep spiral.
C- Reduce power to idle, apply full rudder opposite the direction of spin rotation followed by forward elevator.
2007 The objective of a cross-control stall demonstration is to

A- emphasize the hazard of slips during a landing approach.
B- show the result of using steep angles of bank during maneuvering in the traffic pattern.
C- show the effect of improper control technique and emphasize the importance of correct control usage.
2008 If the atmospheric pressure and temperature remain constant, how would an increase in humidity affect airplane takeoff performance?

A- Shorter takeoff distance; the air is less dense.
B- Longer takeoff distance; the air is more dense.
C- Longer takeoff distance; the air is less dense.
2009 When practicing steep spirals (assuming there is wind), on the downwind side of the maneuver:
A- the airspeed will normally exceed that of the upwind side of the maneuver.
B- the pitch attitude must be lowered to maintain the proper airspeed.
C- the pitch attitude must be raised to maintain the proper airspeed.
WRONG!!!


2010 Which statement best describes the use of checklists?

A- Checklists are primarily intended to reassure anxious passengers.
B- The proper use of checklists requires a verbal challenge and response system.
C- Checklists help assure that crucial items are checked in a logical sequence.
2011 If the certification category of an airplane is listed as utility, it means the airplane is intended for which maneuvers?
A. Any maneuver incident to normal flying except acrobatics or spins.
B. Any type of acrobatic maneuver.
C. All nonacrobatic maneuvers plus limited acrobatics including spins.
2012 The primary purpose of practicing operations at reduced airspeeds is to enable students to
A. safely fly airport traffic patterns at various airspeeds.
B. develop proficiency in their sense of feel and their ability to use the controls properly at various speeds.
C. develop proficiency in anticipating the onset of power-on stalls.
2013 Which best describes pitch and bank during the first 90° of a chandelle?
A. Constant pitch and bank.
B. Changing pitch and bank.
C. Constant bank and changing pitch.
2014 What is the location of the CG if 60 pounds are removed from Station 70?
Aircraft weight 8,420 lb
CG location Station 85
A. 84.1.
B. 84.9.
C. 85.1.
2015 During a takeoff made behind a departing large jet airplane, the pilot can minimize the hazard of wingtip vortices by
A. being airborne prior to reaching the jet's flightpath until able to turn clear of its wake.
B. extending the takeoff roll and not rotating until well beyond the jet's rotation point.
C. remaining below the jet's flightpath until able to turn clear of its wake.
