What is the minimum control speed with the critical engine inoperative.
The minimum visibility required for VFR flight in Class E airspace above 10,000 feet MSL.
What is 5 SM visibility, 1000 feet above, 1000 feet below, and 1 SM horizontal from clouds?
The speed limit below 10,000 feet MSL.
What is 250 knots indicated airspeed?
When the alternator fails in flight, this is the first action a pilot should take.
What is reduce electrical load and check circuit breakers?
A commercial pilot may not carry passengers for hire at night or beyond 50 NM without this additional training.
What is a Commercial Pilot Instrument Rating or compliance with 14 CFR 61.133(b)?
The effect on stall speed as weight increases.
What is an increase?
The three ingredients required for a thunderstorm.
What is moisture, lifting action, and unstable air?
This airspace requires an ATC clearance and is typically associated with busy airports.
What is Class B?
The purpose of the propeller governor in a constant-speed propeller system.
What is to adjust blade pitch and maintain a selected RPM?
The part of the FARs governs commercial pilot operations.
What is 14 CFR Part 61 & 91 for certification, Part 135 for charter, Part 121 for airlines, etc.?
The difference between best angle of climb (VX) and best rate of climb (VY)
What is VX gives the most altitude in the shortest distance; VY gives the most altitude in the shortest time?
This type of fog forms when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface.
What is advection fog?
The meaning of the phrase “Cleared for the Option” when given by ATC.
What is a touch-and-go, stop-and-go, low approach, or full-stop landing at the pilot's discretion?
When a magneto check during run-up shows no RPM drop on one magneto, this indicates...
What is a broken P-lead or grounding issue, meaning the magneto is still live when the ignition switch is off?
The amount of flight time that must be logged in a complex or technically advanced airplane for a commercial certificate under Part 61.
What is 10 hours?
The significance of a region of reverse command in performance.
What is slower speeds require more power to maintain altitude due to increased induced drag?
The standard lapse rates for temperature and pressure in the troposphere.
What is 2°C per 1,000 feet and 1" Hg per 1,000 feet, respectively?
These items are required to enter Class A airspace.
What is two-way radio communication, an IFR flight plan, and a Mode C transponder with altitude encoding (ADS-B Out)?
The significance of a loadmeter vs. an ammeter in monitoring an aircraft electrical system.
What is a loadmeter shows system demand; an ammeter shows whether the battery is charging or discharging?
The type of commercial operations allowed under 14 CFR 119.1(e) without an operating certificate.
Certain types, including banner towing, aerial photography, flight instruction, and pipeline patrol.
Aerodynamic principle that explains why an aircraft can roll in the opposite direction of rudder input during an engine failure.
What is P-factor and asymmetric thrust which contribute to the yaw, making the aircraft roll toward the dead engine due to loss of lift on that side?
One would use this method to calculate the density altitude if the pressure altitude is 5,000 feet and the temperature is 30°C, and the approximate answer.
What is the density altitude formula or E6B: Rough estimate—each 10°C above standard adds ~1,000 feet, so approximately 7,500 feet DA?
The requirements to operate in a Mode C veil.
What is a Mode C transponder (or ADS-B Out) when operating within 30 NM of a Class B airport, generally at or above 10,000 feet MSL in controlled airspace?
With respect to instruments and ATC communication, the pilot should do these actions in the event of a vacuum system failure in IMC.
What is use backup instruments, rely on electric gyro instruments if available, and declare an emergency if necessary?
