PP1 Ch4 flight environment pt1

Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, an aircraft may not be operated closer than what distance from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure?

• 1,000 feet.

• 700 feet.

• 500 feet.

(Refer to Figure 9, area C.) How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane with a left quartering tailwind?

• Left aileron up, elevator neutral.

• Left aileron down, elevator neutral.

• Left aileron down, elevator down.

The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day or night, and especially when operating

• in Class B airspace.

• in conditions of reduced visibility.

• within 15 miles of a towered airport.

When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the right-of-way belongs to the aircraft

• that has the other to its right.

• at the lower altitude, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of or to overtake another.

• that is the least maneuverable.

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

• Ailerons neutral.

• Aileron down on the downwind side.

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

Which aircraft has the right-of-way over the other aircraft listed?

• Gyroplane.

• Aircraft towing other aircraft.

• Airship.

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

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

• An altitude of 500 feet AGL, except over open water or a sparsely populated area, which requires 500 feet from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

• An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.

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

• An altitude of 500 feet above the surface and no closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

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

• An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.

Most midair collision accidents occur during

• cloudy nights.
• clear days

• hazy days

(Refer to Figure 9, area A.) How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tricycle-gear equipped airplane into a left quartering headwind?

• Left aileron up, elevator neutral.

• Left aileron down, elevator neutral.

• Left aileron up, elevator down.
