XINNIX FLIGHT SCHOOL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
/ What is density altitude? - Answer-✅The pressure altitude corrected for non-standard
temperature.
/.During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? - Answer-✅Both wings are
stalled
/.Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged? -
Answer-✅Airspeed, altimeter and vertical speed
/.If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate
change in indication? - Answer-✅Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower
/.What is Bernoulli's principle? - Answer-✅Air Traveling faster over the curved upper
surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface.
/.The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is... - Answer-
✅heavy, clean, and slow
/.what must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effects? - Answer-✅Induced drag
decreases; therefore, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable
floating.
/.If the outside air temp (OAT) at a given altitude is warmer than standard, the density
altitude is... - Answer-✅higher than pressure altitude
/.What effect does high density altitude, as compared to low density altitude, have on
propeller efficiency and why? - Answer-✅Efficiency is reduced because the prop exerts
less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes
/.how long does the airworthiness certificate of an aircraft remain valid? - Answer-✅As
long as the aircraft is maintained and operated as required by Fed. Aviation Regulations
/.what is the standard code for vfr - Answer-✅1200

/.The pilot in command is required to hold a type rating in what kind of aircraft? -
Answer-✅Aircraft having a gross weight of more than 12,500 pounds

should... - Answer-✅indentify yourself as a pilot
/.A pilot can expect a wind-shear zone in a temp. inversion whenever the windspeed at
2,000 to 4,000 feet above the surface is at least... - Answer-✅25 knots

change in the ... - Answer-✅wind direction

clouds

temp. inversion with freezing rain at a higher altitude
/.If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster...
- Answer-✅groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and the likelihood of
overshooting the desired touchdown point.
/.What is the purpose of the runway/runway hold position sign? - Answer-✅denotes
intersecting runways
/.Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, relies
on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight? - Answer-
✅Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment
/.What is hypoxia? - Answer-✅A state of oxygen deficiency in the body
/.Which condition is most favorable to the development of carburetor icing? - Answer-
✅Temp. between 20-70 degrees F and high humidity
/.when approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator
(VASI), the pilot shall... - Answer-✅maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.
