Practice test
  1. 201.A pilot is planning a flight through an area where an AIRMET Tango has been issued. What specific weather phenomenon should the pilot anticipate?Weather
  2. 202.A helicopter's performance charts indicate a maximum gross weight of 2,800 lbs under current conditions. The aircraft's empty weight is 1,800 lbs. If the pilot and passenger weigh 350 lbs combined and 150 lbs of baggage is loaded, what is the maximum fuel (in pounds) that can be carried?Performance and Limitations
  3. 203.During an autorotation, what is the primary purpose of maintaining rotor RPM within the green arc?Performance and Limitations
  4. 204.A helicopter pilot has just completed an annual flight review and received a satisfactory endorsement. The pilot has not flown at night for several months. Before conducting a night flight with passengers, what is the minimum recent flight experience required by 14 CFR Part 61?Human Factors
  5. 205.A pilot is experiencing a strong illusion of pitching up during a helicopter approach over sloping terrain at night. The pilot responds by pushing the cyclic forward, which decreases the collective and power, resulting in a dangerously low and fast approach. This scenario is characteristic of which visual illusion?Human Factors
  6. 206.A private helicopter pilot is conducting a night flight over an unlit rural area. The pilot is looking for an unlit helipad with only the aid of a landing light. Which visual illusion is the pilot most susceptible to?Human Factors
  7. 207.A helicopter pilot departing from an airport in the Western United States is briefed on a forecast for 'low-level wind shear'. What is the primary hazard associated with low-level wind shear for helicopters?Weather
  8. 208.A pilot is experiencing mild chest discomfort, tingling in the extremities, and lightheadedness during a stressful flight. The pilot's breathing is noticeably rapid and shallow. What is the most likely physiological problem the pilot is experiencing?Human Factors
  9. 209.A helicopter pilot receives a Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) that includes the group 'PROB30 1820/1822 4SM -TSRA BKN030CB'. What is the probability of thunderstorms and rain occurring during the specified time period?Weather
  10. 210.A pilot is planning a flight requiring an OGE hover. The performance chart shows that at the planned pressure altitude and temperature, the maximum gross weight for an OGE hover is 2,500 lbs. If the helicopter's current gross weight is 2,600 lbs, what action is primarily required to safely perform the OGE hover?Performance and Limitations
  11. 211.A pilot is planning a high-altitude takeoff from an unimproved surface. Compared to a takeoff from a paved runway at sea level, what is the primary effect on the helicopter's performance?Performance and Limitations
  12. 212.A pilot is flying a helicopter at 90 knots indicated airspeed (IAS) at 5,000 feet pressure altitude on a standard day. What effect will climbing to 10,000 feet pressure altitude at the same IAS have on the true airspeed (TAS)?Performance and Limitations
  13. 213.During a preflight weather briefing, a pilot notes a forecast for 'moderate rime icing' at the planned cruising altitude. Which characteristic best describes moderate rime icing?Weather
