How many can you answer correctly? Add up your score and see where you stand.
1. Why must the angle of attack be increased to maintain a constant altitude during a coordinated turn?
2. What percent of the vertical speed should be used to determine the number of feet to level off from a climb?
3. To level off from a descent to a specific altitude you should lead the level off by?
4. What procedure should be used to prevent or overcome spatial disorientation?
5. Your only attitude indicator has spilled in IMC, you get into an unusual attitude, how would you know when the nose is passing through level flight?
6. When must you add an alternate airport to your instrument flight plan?
7. Your aircraft static system and altimeter was checked and approved on September 27, 1998 when must it be done again to remain IFR current?
8. To be legal on an IFR flight the VOR equipment must be checked at least?
9. You are on an approach to an airport with an operating VASI, when is it legal to descend below the glide scope operating in VFR?
10. Who is the responsible party to determine an aircraft is airworthy before a specific flight?
Did you answer them correctly?
1. The vertical component of lift has decreased, as a result of the bank. 2. Ten percent 3. Ten percent of the vertical speed 4. You must rely entirely on your instruments 5. The airspeed and altimeter stop movement and the vertical speed reverses its trend. 6. Try this: The 1-1-2-3 rule, when your primary airport is reporting from one hour before to one hour after your ETA 2000' and three miles. 7. September 30, 2000 8. Within the last thirty days 9. Only when necessary to complete a safe landing 10. The pilot in command.
Add up your score. Add 10 points for every correct answer, and subtract 10 for every incorrect answer. If you scored 100 – great job, keep up the safe flying. If you scored between 70 and 90 - brush up on your skills, these are just some of the basic skills. If you scored 60 or below – please contact your local flight school for a refresher class. |
