1. Collision Avoidance (1104_64)
To scan properly for traffic, a pilot should
A - slowly sweep the field of vision from one side to the other at intervals.
B - concentrate on any peripheral movement detected.
C - use a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the sky into the central visual field.
 
2. Takeoff and Landing Performance (1104_67)
Density altitude, and its effect on landing performance, is defined by
A - pressure altitude and ambient temperature.
B - headwind and landing weight.
C - humidity and braking friction forces.
 
3. Wind (1104_170)
Which is true with respect to a high- or low-pressure system?
A - A high-pressure area or ridge is an area of rising air.
B - A low-pressure area or trough is an area of descending air.
C - A high-pressure area or ridge is an area of descending air
 
4. 4 cycle and 2 cycle Engines (lsp_7134)
In order to improve engine efficiency, two-cycle engine exhaust systems are tuned to
A - close the exhast valve to stop the fuel mixture from exiting the cylinder.
B - stop the fuel mixture from exiting the cylinder before cumbustion.
C - use a reed valve to stop the fuel mixture from exiting the cylinder.
 
5. Wing (lsp_7163)
What gives your powered parachute wing/canopy its airfoil shape?
A - The risers because, by decreasing the length of the right riser you will get the precise airfoil shape.
B - The suspension lines as they are precisely measured and fitted to a specific location.
C - The air as it enters the cell openings on the leading edge of the airfoil.
 
6. Airframe (lsp_7146)
During preflight, the fuel vent system should always be checked
A - to ensure the vent is closed.
B - to ensure the vent is open.
C - to ensure the vent system pressure is in the green range.
 
7. Pitot Static Flight Instruments (lsp_2339_0607)
The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument?
A - Altimeter.
B - Vertical-speed indicator.
C - Airspeed indicator.
 
8. Balloon Operations (lsp_2288_0607)
How should a balloon fuel system be checked for leaks prior to flight?
A - Listen and smell.
B - Check all connections with a lighted match.
C - Cover all connections and tubing with soapy water.
 
9. Wing (lsp_7156)
The torque effect of an engine that rotates clockwise in a powered parachute is counteracted by
A - increasing the length of the right and decreasing the length of the left riser cables.
B - decreasing the length of the left riser cables.
C - decreasing the length of right riser cables.
 
10. Aircraft Documents Maintenance and Inspections (1104_33)
How should an aircraft preflight inspection be accomplished for the first flight of the day?
A - Quick walk around with a check of gas and oil.
B - Any sequence as determined by the pilot-in-command.
C - Thorough and systematic means recommended by the manufacturer.
