Name:_____________________SCAN Homework #7 (part 2)
1. What are the fuel requirements for a night VFR flight? 2. While operating an aircraft in Class G airspace at night, what are your cloud clearance and visibility requirements in the traffic pattern? 3. Under basic VFR, what is the minimum ceiling required for you to do pattern work at RHV? 4. When determining the required visibility for a VFR flight departing from a Class D airport in low visibility, what is controlling: prevailing visibility, ground visibility, flight visibility, etc.? 5. While cruising at 1,200 feet MSL (and AGL), in an area where class E airspace starts at 1,200 AGL what are your cloud clearance and visibility requirements during the day? 6. Can I fly special VFR from RHV to PAO (Palo Alto)? Why or why not? 7. What is necessary to fly special VFR at night? 8. Enroute to Stockton (an easterly heading if out couldn't figure that out), you decide to fly at an altitude of 4,500 MSL (2,900 AGL). Is that a proper VFR cruising altitude? Why or why not? 9. On a ferry flight of a Piper Seneca to DFW (Dallas), your aircraft has been fitted with a fuel tank in the passenger compartment. What document(s) are required to be onboard the aircraft for this flight? 10. What are the required equipment for Day VFR flight? 11. How about Night VFR? 12. While providing flight instruction in an airplane which the instructor did not provide, what (if any) extra equipment is required to be onboard for a day VFR flight that takes the aircraft beyond power off gliding distance from the shore? 13. If you come out to preflight your brand spankin' new C172 for a day VFR flight and notice that the left wing-tip strobe light is inoperative. Since the strobe is your only anti-collision light, and you still have the right side working, can you legally fly the aircraft? Why or why not? 14. When must the ELT battery be replaced? 15. When must the ELT be inspected? 16. For how long (if at all) can you operate your aircraft without an ELT? Are there any modifications that must be made to the aircraft in this case? 17. After arriving at the local FBO to complete your BFR flight, the instructor tells you that this aircraft has been without an ELT for 2 years, but he seems to think nothing of this. Is your flight going to be legal? Why or why not? 18. When must your navigation lights be on? 19. While pre-flighting your 1979 C152 you notice that the rotating beacon is inoperative. Assuming you deactivate and placard it in accordance with 91.213, can you make your day VFR flight legally? 20. Above what altitude are your passengers required to use oxygen? 21. While cruising at 13,000 feet with your altimeter set to 30.62", for how long at that altitude must you use supplemental oxygen? 22. How about if you are cruising at 12,000 feet with your altimeter at 29.32", how long must you use oxygen for the flight? 23. If you are flying a small, non-turbine powered airplane for which no Minimum Equipment List (MEL) exists, what must be done for you to fly the aircraft with inoperative instruments and/or equipment? 24. What is a MEL? 25. When is a Mode C transponder required? 26. If you are flying in over the desert in the middle of nowhere in Class E airspace below 10,000 feet, may you turn off your transponder to save gas? 27. If your aircraft does not have a transponder, but you wish to fly into a Class C airport, how far in advance must you make your request with ATC? 28. Can you do aerobatics above an airport without a waiver from the FAA? If so, under what conditions? 29. Define aerobatic flight? 30. If you have a parachute available in your aircraft for emergency use, how often and by who must it be repacked? 31. When are you required to have a parachute onboard your aircraft? 32. If you are practicing spins with a CFI, do you need a parachute? 33. Does the FAA have to be notified before you tow a glider if you depart from an airport that has Class E airspace down to the surface? 34. If I get bored and decide to tow a water skier from the back of my aircraft is that legal? Why or why not? 35. If an aircraft is operating under an experimental certificate, what are you required to tell ATC and your passengers regarding the aircraft? 36. Can a Private Pilot receive money for flying a candidate in a federal election? If so, how much money? 37. Who is responsible for maintaining an aircraft in an airworthy condition? 38. If an instrument is inoperative per 91.213, when must that instrument be fixed? 39. If you go out to an airplane and see that the AFD has been properly deactivated and has been placarded "INOP," is the aircraft legal to fly? 40. Your local mechanic changes your oil but has yet to put that down in the MX logs. Since he went home for the night and said he will log it tomorrow, can you go flying? 41. If an operational check (test flight) is necessary, what pilot certificate(s) must the person performing the check hold? 42. For what operations is a 100-hour inspection required? 43. 100-hour inspections are required at a local FBO that you receive training from. For your next training flight you notice that the airplane you are about to fly has 99.8 hours since the last inspection and you wish to do a local training flight that will take 1 hour. Can you legally fly the aircraft? Why or why not? 44. How often must your static system be tested if the aircraft is used for VFR flight? 45. How often must your transponder be inspected? 46. While checking the logbooks of an aircraft at your FBO, you notice that there appears to be no records of annual and 100-hour inspections from more that one year ago (the current annual and 100-hours are present). You know that the airplane has had those inspections but they are not in the logbooks anymore. Is this legal?
