See how you measure up to FAA [6]. True or False? A pilot is banking into a sideslip
standards with questions. You will find while maintaining a constant heading with opposite
(top) rudder. As bank angle increases, the turn
the answers on (Page #5). coordinator will show that the aircraft is turning.

NO CHEATING! [7]. Which of the following automated weather
reporting stations provides the least amount of
[1]. The width of a federal airway from either side of information? Which provides the most?
the centerline is: A. ASOS
A. 6 nautical miles. B. AWOS-A
B. 4 nautical miles. C. AWOS-1
C. 8 nautical miles. D. AWOS-2
E. AWOS-3
[2]. If more than one cruising altitude is intended,
which should be entered in the flight plan?: [8]. During the preflight runup and magneto check,
A. Initial cruising altitude. a pilot inadvertently turns off both magnetos. What
B. Highest cruising altitude. should he do before returning the magnetos to
C. Lowest cruising altitude. [On]?

[3]. The most important rule to remember in the [9]. What is the most likely reason for both

[5]. If a pilot suspects that the engine (with a fixed-

takeoff, the initial corrective action to take would
be to:
