1Under 14 CFR Part 119 and FAA Advisory Circular 120-12A, what key element differentiates 'common carriage' from 'private carriage'?
A.A holding out of willingness to transport persons or property from place to place for compensation or hire to the general public
B.Whether the flight is conducted under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
C.The maximum certificated takeoff weight of the aircraft being operated
D.Whether the pilot holds a First-Class or Second-Class FAA Medical Certificate
Explanation: Common carriage results from a holding out of a willingness to furnish transportation to any person who desires it for compensation or hire. As defined in AC 120-12A, holding out can occur through advertising, agents, or simply gaining a reputation for serving the general public. Private carriage involves carrying persons or property for hire under individual contracts with a limited number of clients without holding out.
2According to 14 CFR §119.1(e), which of the following operations may a commercial pilot conduct for compensation or hire without an air carrier or commercial operator certificate under Part 119?
A.Non-stop sightseeing flights conducted within a 25-nautical-mile radius of the departure airport complying with specific drug testing requirements
B.Scheduled passenger shuttle flights between two airports located 40 nautical miles apart
C.On-demand air taxi charter flights carrying passengers in a light twin-engine airplane
D.Cargo transport flights for five separate corporate clients conducted on an ad-hoc schedule
Explanation: 14 CFR §119.1(e)(2) explicitly exempts non-stop commercial air tour / sightseeing flights conducted within a 25 NM radius of the departure airport from Part 119 certification, provided the operator complies with drug and alcohol testing requirements under Part 120 and Part 91 subpart N rules. Options B, C, and D require air carrier or commercial operator certification under Part 121 or Part 135.
3If a commercial pilot certificate applicant holds a Commercial Pilot Airplane rating but does not hold an Instrument Rating (Airplane), what limitation is placed on their commercial pilot certificate under 14 CFR §61.133(b)?
A.The carriage of passengers for hire on cross-country flights in excess of 50 nautical miles or at night is prohibited
B.The pilot may not act as pilot-in-command of any aircraft carrying passengers for hire under any circumstances
C.The pilot is restricted to flying within 25 nautical miles of the departure airport during daylight hours only
D.The pilot may only fly single-engine piston aircraft with a maximum gross weight under 12,500 pounds
Explanation: Under 14 CFR §61.133(b)(1), if a commercial pilot does not hold an instrument rating in the same category and class, their certificate will bear the limitation: 'The carriage of passengers for hire in airplanes on cross-country flights in excess of 50 nautical miles or at night is prohibited.' Carrying cargo for hire is not restricted by this specific limitation.
4A 38-year-old commercial pilot receives a Second-Class FAA Medical Certificate on March 15, 2026. For the purpose of exercising commercial pilot privileges, when does this medical certificate expire?
A.March 31, 2027
B.March 15, 2027
C.March 31, 2028
D.March 31, 2031
Explanation: Under 14 CFR §61.23(d), a Second-Class medical certificate expires at the end of the 12th calendar month after the month of the date of examination shown on the certificate for operations requiring a commercial pilot certificate, regardless of the pilot's age. Issued in March 2026, it remains valid for commercial privileges until midnight on March 31, 2027.
5To act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying passengers for hire, 14 CFR §61.57 requires the pilot to have made at least three takeoffs and three landings within the preceding 90 days. If the flight is conducted in a tailwheel airplane at night, what specific landing requirement applies?
A.Three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop conducted during the period from 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise in a tailwheel airplane
B.Three touch-and-go landings conducted between evening civil twilight and morning civil twilight in any airplane
C.Three landings to a full stop conducted during official sunset to official sunrise in a tricycle-gear airplane
D.Five takeoffs and landings to a full stop conducted within the preceding 60 days in a tailwheel airplane
Explanation: 14 CFR §61.57(b) mandates that for night passenger-carrying currency, the pilot must have made three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop during the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise. Additionally, §61.57(a)(1)(ii) requires tailwheel landings to be to a full stop in the same category, class, and type (if type rating required).
6How does 14 CFR §61.51 logging of Flight Time differ from Transport Canada CARs 101.01 Air Time when recording pilot logbook entries for FAA compliance?
A.FAA Flight Time is block-to-block time when the aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight, whereas TC Air Time measures time from wheels-off to wheels-on
B.FAA Flight Time only counts time when the aircraft is airborne above 50 feet AGL, whereas TC Air Time includes taxi time
C.FAA Flight Time requires an active flight plan filed with ATC, whereas TC Air Time is logged automatically by hobbs meter
D.FAA Flight Time and TC Air Time are legally identical definitions measured exclusively from engine start to engine shutdown
Explanation: Under 14 CFR §1.1, FAA 'Flight Time' (block time) begins when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing. Under Transport Canada CARs 101.01, 'Air Time' is the period from the moment the aircraft leaves the supporting surface until it touches down. Canadian pilots must record FAA Flight Time (block-to-block) for FAA currency and logbook compliance.
7Which of the following aircraft inspection requirements applies to an airplane operated for compensation or hire under 14 CFR Part 91, but is NOT required for a Part 91 airplane flown solely for non-commercial personal use?
A.A 100-hour inspection under 14 CFR §91.409(b)
B.An annual inspection under 14 CFR §91.409(a)
C.A transponder inspection every 24 calendar months under 14 CFR §91.413
D.An Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) inspection every 12 calendar months under 14 CFR §91.207
Explanation: Under 14 CFR §91.409(b), no person may operate an aircraft carrying any person (other than a crewmember) for hire, or give flight instruction for hire, unless within the preceding 100 hours of time in service it has received an annual or 100-hour inspection. Annual, transponder, and ELT inspections are required for all civil aircraft regardless of commercial usage.
8Under 14 CFR §91.211, what is the minimum cabin pressure altitude at which the required minimum flight crew must be provided with and use supplemental oxygen for that part of the flight that is of more than 30 minutes duration?
A.12,500 feet MSL
B.10,000 feet MSL
C.14,000 feet MSL
D.15,000 feet MSL
Explanation: 14 CFR §91.211(a)(1) specifies that at cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet MSL up to and including 14,000 feet MSL, the required minimum flight crew must use supplemental oxygen for that part of the flight at those altitudes that is of more than 30 minutes duration. Note that Canadian CAR 605.32 specifies 10,000 feet ASL for flights exceeding 30 minutes.
914 CFR §91.17 prohibits any person from acting or attempting to act as a crewmember of a civil aircraft within how many hours after the consumption of any alcoholic beverage, and with what maximum concentration of alcohol in the blood?
A.8 hours after consumption and a blood alcohol concentration of less than 0.04 percent
B.12 hours after consumption and a blood alcohol concentration of 0.00 percent
C.24 hours after consumption and a blood alcohol concentration of less than 0.08 percent
D.6 hours after consumption and a blood alcohol concentration of less than 0.02 percent
Explanation: 14 CFR §91.17(a) prohibits acting or attempting to act as a crewmember within 8 hours after the consumption of any alcoholic beverage ('8 hours bottle to throttle') or while having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.04 percent by weight or more.
10Under 14 CFR §91.159, what VFR cruising altitude should a pilot select when operating an aircraft above 3,000 feet AGL up to 18,000 feet MSL on a magnetic course of 090 degrees?
A.An odd-thousand foot MSL altitude plus 500 feet (e.g., 5,500 feet or 7,500 feet)
B.An even-thousand foot MSL altitude plus 500 feet (e.g., 4,500 feet or 6,500 feet)
C.Any odd-thousand foot MSL altitude based on magnetic heading
D.An even-thousand foot MSL altitude based on true track
Explanation: 14 CFR §91.159 states that when operating VFR in level cruising flight above 3,000 feet AGL on a magnetic course of 000 to 179 degrees ('East is Odd'), pilots must fly an odd-thousand foot altitude plus 500 feet. On magnetic courses of 180 to 359 degrees ('West is Even'), fly even-thousand plus 500 feet.
