Lesson 10 Pre-Quiz

Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should

• Check altitude, airspeed, and heading indications.

• Visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance.

• Announce their intentions on the nearest CTAF.

What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?

• Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace.

• Advise the nearest FSS of the altitude changes.

• Fly away from the centerline of the airway before changing altitude.

Eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should

• Not exceed 10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second.

• by 30 degrees and view each sector at least 3 seconds.

• Use peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.

How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?

• The other aircraft will always appear to get larger and closer at a rapid rate.

• The hose of each aircraft is pointed at the same point in space.

• There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft.

Which aircraft has the right-of-way over all other air traffic?

• A balloon.

• An aircraft in distress.

• An aircraft on final approach to land.

What action is required when two aircraft of the same category converge, but not head on?

• The faster aircraft shall give way.

• The aircraft on the left shall give way.

• Each aircraft shall give way to the right.

An airplane and an airship are converging. If the airship is left of the airplane's position, which aircraft has the right-of-way?

• The airship.

• The airplane.

• Each pilot should alter course to the right.

Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude for a pilot to operate an aircraft over congested areas?

• An altitude of 1,000 feet above any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

• An altitude of 500 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 1,000 feet of the aircraft.

• An altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.

When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be used?

• Aileron down on the downwind side.

• Ailerons neutral.

• Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing.

(Refer to Figure 49). Select the proper traffic pattern and runway for landing.

• Left-hand traffic and Runway 18.

• Right-hand traffic and Runway 18.

• Left-hand traffic and Runway 22.
