Certificate
COA= Certifcate of Airworthiness
Maximum Air Speed Rules are always in what type of Airspeed? - Answers -Indicated
Knots (KIAS)
When flying from a altimeter setting region to a Standard Pressure Region you should
set your altimeter to 29.92 just __________ entering the SPR - Answers -After
What is the main difference between a reportable aviation incident and accident? -
Answers -a Reportable aviation Incident does not apply to small aircraft (> 5,700 kg). It
covers emergencies (fire, going off runway, Control issues) that could have resulted in a
major accident.

In a carburetor the fuel to air ratio is governed by... - Answers -Mass (or weight)
What happens to the Fuel/Air ratio when Carb heat is applied? As a result what should
you do for prolong carb heat usage. - Answers -Air is warmer therefore less dense so
you should lean the mixture for prolong use of Carb heat.
,What happens to an engine when fuel is not leaned at high altitudes? - Answers -the
fuel to air mixture becomes too rich this results in a drop of RPMs and spark plugs may
foul. This will also result an more fuel used than calculated as per the POH.
What happens when you lean the mixture at cursing altitude? - Answers -You are
decreasing the amount of fuel to air ratio to compensate for the less dense air at higher
altitudes.
When Carb heat is applied what happens to the fuel to air ratio? - Answers -The fuel
gets richer because the air becomes less dense.
As the Angle of attack is increased what happens to lift and induced drag? - Answers -
They both increase.
The First Symptom of Carburetor icing is
a. Engine Roughness
b. RPM decrease - Answers -b
A turbo Charger is powered by __________ _________ and a supercharger is powered
by _____ _________ - Answers -Exhaust gases, internally driven compressor powered
by the engine.
If the pitot tube and its drain becomes blocked What would the Airspeed indicator do? -
Answers -Act like a VSI or altimeter
If a pitot tube becomes blocked but the drain remains clear what will the Airspeed
indicator do? - Answers -This is a partial block which will allow the dynamic pressure to
slowly leak out. In this case the ASI will decrease to 0
What will happen to the Airspeed indicator if the static port gets blocked? - Answers -It
will under-read more and more as you climb and over read more and more as you
descend.
What will happen to the altimeter if the static port gets blocked? - Answers -It will freeze
on the last altitude before blockage
Where can you find the CRFI recommended value for a specific crosswind? - Answers -
Under that specific crosswind in the Chart titled Crosswind limits for CRFI
What is a trough and how is it depicted on a GFA? - Answers -It is an elongated are of
low pressure and is shown as a single purple line.
What does a double purple line indicate on a GFA? - Answers -an upper air trough.
, What is the difference between a trowal and a trough and how is each depicted on a
GFA? - Answers -A Trowal (or an occluded front) occurs when cold air catches up with
warm air. It is shown on the GFA as zipper cold and warm front. A trough is an
elongated area of low pressure. It is shown on the GFA as a single purple line.
You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 30.12. Along the route while level at
5,000 you check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.02. What altitude are you
actually at? - Answers -4,900
If a POH is not available what is a good rule of thumb for determining the max
crosswind of an AC? - Answers -20% of stall speed.
What are the uses of wing fences and winglets? - Answers -To Less vortices and
reducing induced drag
Describe the differences between parasite drag and induced drag? - Answers -Parasite
drag is caused by everything but the lift created by the wings (skin, Antennas, struts,
wheels, etc.) and induced drag is the by-product of lift being created.
When is more Thrust Produced on the ground stationary or immediately at rotation?
Why? - Answers -on the Ground stationary. This is because before the Aircraft start to
move there is no drag being created.
Describe what happens to the ASI when the Pitot tube opening and drain hole are
blocke but the static port remains open? - Answers -The Ram Pressure gets trapped so
ASI will freeze. However, if you climb the air will get thinner and your ASI will increase.
The opposite happens if you descend.
Describe what happens if both the Pitot Tube (All holes) and the Static Port gets
blocked with Ice - Answers -Everything will freeze
What does WAM mean? - Answers -Weight X Arm = Moment
For W&B questions on the exam, it is better to
a. draw out a table and use the WAM formula to determine the Moment
b. Use the Chart to determine the Moment - Answers -Draw out a table. This will save
time and provide more exact CG calculations
What does IWAM mean? - Answers -Item Weight Arm Moment
What is the best way to Interpolate between two numbers - Answers -sum the total and
divide by 2
What causes wind? - Answers -horizontal differences in air pressure
