AGI (Additional) Ground Instructor-
Questions with Complete Solutions
2025-2026 Updated.
Holder of AGI is authorized to - Answer provide ground training in aeronautical knowledge
required for issuance of sport, recreational, private pilot certificates. And may provide
recommendation for knowledge test required for certificate issuance.
AGI rating allows - Answer ground training toward any certificate or rating issued under
14CFR Part 61, with the exception of an instrument rating.
Holder of an AGI may not exercise the privileges of the certificate unless they have - Answer
been employed as a ground instructor giving pilot, flight instructor, or ground instructor training
within the preceding 12 months.
Operational Control with respect to a flight means - Answer authority of initiating,
conducting, or terminating a flight.
Stopway means an area designed for use in - Answer decelerating the aircraft during an
aborted takeoff.
Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) - Answer is an overrun that will degrade as
required to stop an aircraft.
V-Speed - Answer 1. V1 - Max. takeoff speed to abort a takeoff.
2. V2 - Takeoff safety speed
3. Vef - speed at which a critical engine is assumed to fail during takeoff.
4. Vr - Rotation speed, controls are actuated for take-off.
5. Vlof - aircraft speed as it leaves the runway.
A second in command (SIC) of plane requiring 2 pilots may log - Answer All IFR flight time
when operating with instruments.
ATP holder is - Answer 1. Entitled to same privileges as a commercial pilot certificate with
instrument rating.
2. May instruct other pilots in Air Transportation Service for a maximum of 36 hours in any 7 day
consecutive day period. (work 36 hours a week).
, 14 CFR Part 121 on multi engine airplane - Answer If instrument becomes inoperative en
route, the ceretificate holder's manual will dictate whether the flight may continue.
14 CFR Part 121 Cockpit voice recorders - Answer All info. recorded during normal operations
can be erased except for the information over the last 30 minutes.
Gyroplanes that use small wings will cause - Answer 1. Rotor drag to decrease at higher
cruise speeds because wingtips help produce lift and reduce the need for rotors to produce life;
this decreases drag.
Helecopter flight controls: - Answer 1. Cyclic
2. Collective
3. Anti Torgue
4. Throttle.
Helicopter/Cyclic (Lateral) - Answer Function- Varies main rotor blade pitch (left versus
right).
1. Primary Effect - Creates left/right direction of thrust and tilted rotor system.
2. Secondary Effect- Induces rolling/tilting moment.
3. In forward flight- Turns the helicopter/holds ground track.
4. In Hover flight - moves helicopter sideways.
Helicopter/Cyclic (Longitudinal) - Answer Function - Directly varies main rotor pitch forward
versus aft.
1. Primary Effect - Creates forward/aft directional thrust and tilted rotor system.
2. Secondary Effect - Induces nose down or nose up pitching action often neutralized in stable
forward flight by horizontal stabilizer down force.
3. In Forward Flight - Controls altitude or airspeed.
4. In Hover Flight - Moves helicopter forward and backward.
Helicopter/Collective - Answer Function - Directly controls main rotor pitch angle/angle of
incidence
1. Primary Effect - Increases/decreases total main rotor thrust.
2. Secondary Effect - Increases/decreases total thrust for altitude and/or airspeed, power, and
antitorque requirements.
3. In Forward Flight - Adjusts/maintains altitude and/or airspeed settings.
4. In Hover Flight - Adjusts/maintains hover altitude.
