PAR (FAA) KING SCHOOLS MULTIPLE CHOICE EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2025 EDITION,
FREQUENTLY TESTED.
1. What do the runway numbers 9 and 27 indicate?
A. Magnetic headings of 90° and 270°
B. True headings of 9° and 27°
C. Magnetic headings of 9° and 27°
D. Runway lengths in thousands of feet
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Runway numbers are determined by rounding the magnetic
heading to the nearest 10 degrees and omitting the last digit. Runway 9 is
approximately 090°, and runway 27 is approximately 270° magnetic.
2. The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is:
A. Heavy, dirty, and fast
B. Heavy, clean, and slow
C. Light, clean, and slow
D. Light, dirty, and fast
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Wake turbulence is strongest when an aircraft is heavy, clean
(flaps up), and flying slowly, such as during takeoff or landing.
3. The correct method of stating "10,500 feet MSL" to ATC is:
A. "Ten thousand, five zero zero"
B. "One zero thousand, five hundred"
,C. "Ten five hundred feet"
D. "Ten point five thousand"
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: FAA phraseology uses digits for thousands and hundreds,
making "one zero thousand, five hundred" the standard way to communicate
this altitude.
4. When flying VFR on a magnetic course of 090°, what altitude should you
maintain?
A. Even-thousand plus 500 feet
B. Odd-thousand plus 500 feet
C. Even-thousand feet only
D. Any altitude below 18,000 feet
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: VFR cruising altitudes for courses 0° to 179° are odd-thousand
+ 500 feet (e.g., 3,500, 5,500 MSL).
5. To determine the freezing level and probable icing conditions aloft, the
pilot should refer to:
A. METAR
B. TAF
C. Inflight Aviation Weather Advisories (AIRMETs and SIGMETs)
D. Surface Analysis Chart
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: AIRMETs and SIGMETs provide important in-flight advisories
including freezing levels and icing conditions.
, 6. Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude
than true altitude?
A. Air temperature colder than standard
B. Air temperature warmer than standard
C. Standard temperature
D. Low humidity
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Warm air expands, raising pressure levels and causing the
altimeter to read lower than the true altitude.
7. When using a VOR Test Facility (VOT), what should the OBS and
TO/FROM indicator read with a centered needle?
A. 360° TO or 180° FROM
B. 0° FROM or 180° TO
C. 90° FROM only
D. It depends on location
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: A VOT provides a radial of 360° FROM, which is the same as
180° TO. A centered CDI needle confirms proper function.
8. What is the most common cause of preventable aviation accidents?
A. Mechanical failure
B. Weather
C. Bird strikes
D. Human error
