Practice test
  1. 201.A pilot is planning a VFR flight from an airport with a control tower to an uncontrolled airfield. The pilot determines the magnetic course for the first leg is 045 degrees. The magnetic variation in the area is 8 degrees West. If the aircraft has a compass deviation of +3 degrees for this heading, what is the compass heading the pilot should fly?Navigation and Flight Planning
  2. 202.A pilot experiences a complete electrical system failure during night flight, including the alternator and battery. Which of the following instruments would become inoperative?Aerodynamics and Aircraft Systems
  3. 203.A pilot is flying a VFR cross-country flight and observes a 'V' shaped symbol on the sectional chart pointing towards a VOR station, accompanied by a specific radial and distance. What does this symbol represent?Navigation and Flight Planning
  4. 204.A private pilot is conducting a flight under VFR conditions. The pilot observes another aircraft approaching from the left, at approximately the same altitude, on a converging course. What action should the pilot take?Regulations
  5. 205.A pilot is planning a VFR flight from an uncontrolled airport to a Class C airport. The pilot wants to obtain the most current and comprehensive weather briefing available. Which of the following is the primary source for pre-flight weather information for this flight?Navigation and Flight Planning
  6. 206.A pilot is planning a VFR flight through an area depicted on a sectional chart with a solid blue line and the letter 'R' followed by a number (e.g., R-2901). What does this symbol indicate, and what action should the pilot take?Navigation and Flight Planning
  7. 207.A pilot is flying VFR and observes a large, circular area on the sectional chart outlined with a solid blue line and labeled 'CLASS B AIRSPACE'. Within this area, there are additional solid blue lines depicting different layers. What does the solid blue line indicate for this airspace?Navigation and Flight Planning
  8. 208.A private pilot is planning a VFR flight from a non-towered airport located within Class E airspace to another non-towered airport also located within Class E airspace. The pilot intends to cruise at 6,500 feet MSL. What are the minimum flight visibility and cloud clearance requirements for this flight?Regulations
  9. 209.A pilot is flying a VFR cross-country flight using a GPS receiver for navigation. The flight plan includes several waypoints. To ensure the highest level of accuracy and integrity for non-precision approaches, what augmentation system should the pilot verify is available and operational?Navigation and Flight Planning
  10. 210.A pilot is flying a VFR cross-country flight and observes a large, irregularly shaped area on the sectional chart outlined with a dashed blue line. This area extends from the surface up to 4,000 feet AGL. What class of airspace does this symbol typically represent, and what are the entry requirements?Navigation and Flight Planning
  11. 211.During a simulated instrument approach, a pilot notices the airspeed indicator is indicating significantly lower than expected, while the altimeter and vertical speed indicator appear to be functioning normally. What is the most likely cause of this discrepancy?Aerodynamics and Aircraft Systems
  12. 212.A pilot is planning a high-altitude flight in a normally aspirated aircraft. To maintain engine performance and prevent spark plug fouling, what adjustment to the fuel-air mixture is typically required as altitude increases?Aerodynamics and Aircraft Systems
  13. 213.A pilot is planning a VFR cross-country flight. The true airspeed is 100 knots, and the planned ground speed is 90 knots. The total distance to the destination is 180 nautical miles. How long will the flight take?Navigation and Flight Planning
