1Under 14 CFR Part 121, what is the domestic IFR fuel reserve requirement for a turbojet aircraft landing at its destination when no alternate airport is required?
A.Fly to the airport of intended landing and thereafter for 45 minutes at normal cruising fuel consumption.
B.Fly to the airport of intended landing, then for 30 minutes at holding speed at 1,500 feet above the destination.
C.Fly to the airport of intended landing, plus 10 percent of the total time required for the flight.
D.Fly to the airport of intended landing and thereafter for 2 hours at normal cruising fuel consumption.
Explanation: Under 14 CFR § 121.639, a Part 121 domestic flight must carry enough fuel to fly to the airport to which dispatched, thereafter for a period of 45 minutes at normal cruising fuel consumption, plus fuel to fly to the most distant alternate airport if required. Unlike Transport Canada CAR 602.88 which specifies a 30-minute reserve for turbojets, US FAR Part 121 requires 45 minutes of cruising fuel reserve for all domestic flights regardless of engine type.
2According to 14 CFR Part 91.117(a), what is the maximum indicated airspeed permitted when operating an aircraft below 10,000 feet MSL in US airspace, unless otherwise authorized by ATC?
A.250 knots IAS
B.200 knots IAS
C.230 knots IAS
D.280 knots IAS
Explanation: 14 CFR § 91.117(a) dictates that no person may operate an aircraft below 10,000 feet MSL at an indicated airspeed of more than 250 knots (250 KIAS), unless specifically authorized or required by ATC or aircraft operational limitations.
3Under 14 CFR Part 121.619 (the '1-2-3 Rule'), when is a Part 121 domestic flight REQUIRED to list at least one destination alternate airport on the dispatch release?
A.If weather reports or forecasts indicate that for at least 1 hour before to 1 hour after ETA, the ceiling will be less than 2,000 feet above airport elevation, or visibility will be less than 3 SM.
B.If weather reports or forecasts indicate that for 2 hours before to 2 hours after ETA, the ceiling will be less than 1,000 feet above airport elevation, or visibility will be less than 2 SM.
C.Whenever the destination airport has only one operational runway or non-precision approach procedure available.
D.If the flight duration exceeds 3 hours regardless of destination weather forecasts.
Explanation: 14 CFR § 121.619 specifies that no person may dispatch a domestic Part 121 aircraft unless at least one alternate airport is specified in the release. The exception is the '1-2-3 Rule': no alternate is required if for at least 1 hour before to 1 hour after the estimated time of arrival (ETA), the ceiling will be at least 2,000 feet above the airport elevation and the visibility will be at least 3 statute miles.
4A Part 121 twin-engine transport category airplane departs an airport where weather is below landing minimums. According to 14 CFR § 121.617, what is the maximum distance a takeoff alternate airport can be located from the departure airport?
A.Not more than 1 hour from the departure airport at normal cruising speed in still air with one engine inoperative.
B.Not more than 2 hours from the departure airport at normal cruising speed in still air with one engine inoperative.
C.Not more than 50 nautical miles from the departure airport.
D.Not more than 200 nautical miles regardless of aircraft engine performance.
Explanation: Under 14 CFR § 121.617(a)(1), for aircraft having two engines, the takeoff alternate airport must be located not more than 1 hour from the departure airport at normal cruising speed in still air with one engine inoperative.
5Under 14 CFR Part 117 Flight Time Limitations, what is the maximum flight time limit for an unaugmented flight crew consisting of two pilots scheduled between 0700 and 1259 table report time?
A.9 hours
B.8 hours
C.10 hours
D.12 hours
Explanation: According to Table A to 14 CFR Part 117 (Maximum Flight Time for Unaugmented Operations), for an unaugmented 2-pilot crew reporting between 0700 and 1259, the maximum scheduled flight time limit is 9 hours.
6Under 14 CFR Part 91.211, when is the required minimum flight crew of an unpressurized aircraft required to continuously use supplemental oxygen?
A.At cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet MSL up to and including 14,000 feet MSL for that part of the flight over 30 minutes duration, and continuously at cabin pressure altitudes above 14,000 feet MSL.
B.Continuously at all cabin pressure altitudes above 10,000 feet MSL.
C.At cabin pressure altitudes above 10,000 feet MSL for flight over 30 minutes, and continuously above 12,000 feet MSL.
D.Continuously at cabin pressure altitudes above 15,000 feet MSL only.
Explanation: 14 CFR § 91.211(a)(1) & (2) dictates that required flight crew members must use supplemental oxygen for that part of the flight at cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet MSL up to 14,000 feet MSL that is of more than 30 minutes duration, and continuously at cabin pressure altitudes above 14,000 feet MSL.
7Under 14 CFR § 121.533, who holds JOINT operational control responsibility for the initiation, continuation, diversion, and termination of a Part 121 domestic flight?
A.The Pilot in Command (PIC) and the Aircraft Dispatcher.
B.The Pilot in Command (PIC) and the Chief Pilot.
C.The Aircraft Dispatcher and the Director of Operations only.
D.The Chief Dispatcher and the FAA Principal Operations Inspector.
Explanation: Under 14 CFR § 121.533(a), the aircraft dispatcher and the pilot in command are jointly responsible for the preflight planning, delay, and dispatch release of a flight. Both must agree before a flight release can be issued.
8Under 14 CFR § 121.625, what must the weather reports or forecasts indicate before an airport may be listed as an alternate in a dispatch or flight release?
A.That conditions at the alternate will be at or above the alternate weather minima specified in the certificate holder's operations specifications when the flight arrives.
B.That conditions at the alternate will be at or above basic VFR minimums for the entire period the flight is airborne.
C.That conditions at the alternate will be at or above the published straight-in landing minimums at the time of dispatch.
D.That conditions at the alternate are forecast to improve by at least 500 feet and 1 statute mile before the flight departs.
Explanation: 14 CFR § 121.625 ties the alternate to the operations specifications rather than to the published approach minimums: no person may list an airport as an alternate unless the weather reports or forecasts, or a combination of them, indicate that conditions will be at or above the alternate weather minima specified in the certificate holder's operations specifications for that airport when the flight arrives. Those OpSpecs minima are normally derived by adding an increment to the published approach minimums.
9Under 14 CFR § 91.211(b), what oxygen requirement applies to a pressurized airplane operating at flight altitudes above FL350 when one pilot leaves the flight deck controls?
A.The remaining pilot at the controls must put on and use an oxygen mask until the other pilot returns to their duty station.
B.Both pilots must request a descent to FL200 prior to one pilot leaving the flight deck.
C.The remaining pilot may rely on the quick-donning mask exception and need not put a mask on at or below FL410.
D.An automated cabin pressure monitoring system must be activated, but no mask usage is required.
Explanation: 14 CFR § 91.211(b)(2) overrides the quick-donning relief: whenever one pilot must leave the controls above FL350, the remaining pilot at the controls must put on and use an oxygen mask until the other pilot returns to that station. Above FL250 the separate requirement is a 10-minute supply of supplemental oxygen for each occupant.
10If a pilot's instrument currency has expired under 14 CFR § 61.57(c) and the subsequent 6-month grace period has also elapsed, how can the pilot re-establish instrument currency?
A.Pass an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) given by an FAA inspector, authorized check airman, or CFII.
B.Complete 6 instrument approaches and holding procedures in an aircraft with a safety pilot.
C.Log 10 hours of instrument flight time in actual IMC within the next 30 days.
D.Pass an FAA written knowledge test on instrument procedures.
Explanation: Under 14 CFR § 61.57(d), if a pilot fails to meet instrument currency requirements within the 6-month currency period AND the following 6-month grace period, instrument privilege cannot be regained by standard logging. The pilot must successfully complete an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC).
