FAA Private Pilots Written UPDATED
ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Which aircraft construction material combines two or more materials together to make a
structure that is much stronger than the individual components? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
Composite
In addition to wire-braced wings, what identifies open truss structure? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- Clearly visible struts
Which fuselage design cannot tolerate dents or deformations of the surface? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- Monocoque
Which wing design contains no external bracing? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Cantilever
A conventional empennage always contains what two components? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- Vertical stabilizer, or fin, and a horizontal stabilizer
What small hinged device on an airplane is used to help minimize the pilot's workload? -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Trim tab
Aircraft brakes are located on which wheels? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Main wheels
Most general aviation airplane propellers have how many blades? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- 2 or 3
Where are the required operating limits and weight and balance records for a particular
aircraft found? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Pilots Operating Handbook (POH)
What is the other accepted name for the pilot's operating handbook (POH)? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- FAA Approved Flight Manuel
,Using the ISA standards for altitude change, if an aircraft is at 4,000 feet and 10 degrees C,
what will the temperature be if the aircraft increases to 10,000 feet? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- -2 degrees C
What is the pitot-static system used for? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- To determine speed,
altitude, and altitude trend
The pitot-static system generally consists of what two components? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- The pitot tube and pitot-static instruments
Vso - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Airspeed indicator: Lowest limit of the white arc, the stall
speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration.
Vs1 - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Airspeed: Lowest limit of the green arc, the stall speed or
minimum steady flight speed obtained in a specific configuration
Vfe - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Maximum speed with the flaps extended. Upper limit of
the green arch
Vno - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Upper limit of the green arc, the maximum structural
cruising speed
Va - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Design maneuvering speed. Listed in POH. Speed you can
use full control movement and not cause structural damage to the aircraft. It changes with
aircraft weight. It's greater when aircraft is heavy and lower when the load is light.
Vlo and Vle - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Max landing gear operating airspeed and
maximum landing gear extended airspeed
Indicated airspeed (IAS) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- On airspeed indicator. It's calibrated
for sea level conditions.
Doesn't reflect variation in air density.
,Importance performance airspeeds are always the same indicated airspeed, regardless of
altitude.
Calibrated airspeed (CAS) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Indicated airspeed corrected for
installation error and instrument error.
Determine by looking at chart in the POH.
True airspeed (TAS) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Actual speed through the air. Calibrated
airspeed corrected for density changes due to altitude and temperature.
Use flight computer to determine.
Groundspeed - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Actual speed over the ground.
TAS and Groundspeed are equal in a no wind situation.
- A headwind decreases groundspeed
- A tailwind increases groundspeed
- It is not on the airspeed indicator
Vn - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Maximum structural cruising speed
What is the altimeter? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- It measures the aircraft's altitude and is
part of the pitot-static system.
- Indications are based on the mean sea level (MSL)
-Change the Kollsman window to compensation for changes in local pressure.
-Indicated altitude changes about 1,000 feet for every inch of change in the setting.
-Altimeter settings are accurate only in the vicinity of the reporting station.
What do the dials on the altimeter mean? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The longer of the two
needles indicates multiples of 100 feet.
The shorter of the two needles indicates multiples of 1,000 feet
The pointer indicates multiples of 10,000 feet
- A crosshatched area appears at altitudes below 10,000 feet MSL
, What is the Kollsman window? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The altimeter setting window.
Turn the know to a higher setting increases the indicated altitude. Changes 1,000 feet for
every inch of change in the setting.
What are the 6 main types of altitude? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Indicated altitude
Pressure altitude
Density altitude
True altitude
Absolute altitude
Calibrated altitude
Indicated Altitude - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The altitude measured by the altimeter, the
altitude used most often during flight.
-
Pressure altitude - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The height above the standard datum plane.
The standard datum plane is a theoretical reference point at sea level where pressure is 29.92
of mercury.
Used to compute density altitude, true altitude, true airspeed and other performance data
Density Altitude - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Pressure altitude corrected for temperature.
When conditions are standard, Density and Pressure altitude are the same.
If temp is higher, the density altitude is higher than pressure altitude
If the temp is lower, density altitude is lower than pressure altitude
It is important because it's directly related to aircraft performance.
True altitude - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The vertical distance above the mean sea level.
Absolute altitude - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The actual height of the aircraft above the
earth's surface, commonly referred to as height AGL.
It varies based on the height of the surface over which the aircraft is flying.
