There are generally four different types, but all relate to a deficiency of oxygen in the body. Hypoxia refers to reduced oxygen, or not enough oxygen. Like converging right-of-way rules, if an aircraft and a vessel are on a crossing course, the one on the other’s right has the right of way. Of course, it is much easier to add only the proper amount of fuel to keep the aircraft under gross weight.ĥ. To reduce the aircraft weight by 110 pounds, 18.4 gallons must be offloaded. Aviation gasoline (avgas) weighs about six pounds per gallon. ( Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, page 11-15)Ĥ. Both advection and upslope fog require wind to form. Fog is a cloud that begins within 50 feet of the surface.

( Aeronautical Information Manual 5-1-14)ģ. A pilot could ask tower personnel to relay a cancellation, but should not assume it will be done without asking. A call to a flight service station is all that is required. It is important to know that a VFR flight plan is not automatically closed by the tower when an aircraft lands. ( Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, page 6-7)Ģ. Operating at 24 inches and 2,200 rpm, however, is over square. Operating at 24 inches and 2,400 rpm is referred to as 24 squared.

For specifics, always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for power settings, but as a general guide, don’t operate over square-letting the manifold pressure, in inches, exceed the rpm in hundreds. If an alteration or repair substantially affects an aircraft’s operation in flight, that aircraft must be test flown by an appropriately rated pilot and approved for return to service prior to being operatedĬ. lowest layer of clouds reported as scattered, broken, or thin.Ĩ. lowest reported obscuration and the highest layer of clouds reported as overcast.Ĭ. lowest broken or overcast layer or vertical visibility into an obscuration.ī. For aviation purposes, ceiling is defined as the height above the Earth’s surface of theĪ. A condition of gas bubble formation around the joints or muscles.ħ. A state of oxygen deficiency in the body.Ĭ. An abnormal increase in the volume of air breathed.ī.

Which description best defines hypoxia?Ī. If the motorboat is to the left of the seaplane, which has the right of way?Ĭ. A seaplane and a motorboat are on crossing courses. If avgas is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained?ĥ. An aircraft is loaded 110 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight. What types of fog depend upon wind in order to exist?Ĥ. The pilot must close the flight plan with the nearest FSS or other FAA facility upon landing.ģ. The tower will relay the instructions to the nearest FSS when the aircraft contacts the tower for landing.Ĭ. The tower will automatically close the flight plan when the aircraft turns off the runway.ī. How should a VFR flight plan be closed at the completion of the flight at a towered airport?Ī. avoid high rpm settings with high manifold pressure.Ģ. always use a rich mixture with high rpm settings.Ĭ. avoid high manifold pressure settings with low rpm.ī. A precaution for the operation of an engine equipped with a constant-speed propeller is toĪ.
