Attempt to restart the engine immediately

Immediately switch the fuel selector to another tank containing fuel

Clear selection

What is the first step a pilot should take if complete engine power loss occurs in flight at low altitude?

1 point

Switch the ignition switch to "L" then "R" then back to "BOTH"

Switch the fuel selector to another tank containing fuel

Clear selection

If a complete engine power loss occurs in flight, what steps should a pilot follow to attempt to restore power, and what additional measures can be taken if initial steps fail to restore power?

1 point

Turn off the ignition switch, switch the fuel selector to another tank, and wait for power to restore automatically.

Switch the fuel selector to another tank containing fuel, turn on the electric fuel pump, set the mixture to rich, turn on carburetor heat, check engine gauges, and ensure the primer is locked. If no fuel pressure is indicated, check the tank selector position. If power is restored, turn off the carburetor heat and electric fuel pump. If power is not restored, try different ignition switch settings, throttle and mixture settings, and other fuel tanks if time permits.

Immediately land the aircraft and inspect the engine.

Set the mixture to lean, turn off the electric fuel pump, and check the oil pressure gauge.

1 point

70 MPH IAS

80 MPH IAS

90 MPH IAS

100 MPH IAS

Clear selection

What is the most common cause of engine fires during start?

1 point

Cranking the starter excessively, thus flooding the engine

Over-priming

Priming with the auxiliary boost pump

Clear selection

What should be the pilot's altitude above the selected field when in the downwind position to make a normal approach?

1 point

Clear selection

What is the correct procedure for stopping the engine after parking the aircraft?

1 point

Turn off the master switch, pull the mixture control to idle cut-off, turn off the magneto switch, and set the parking brake

Turn off the electric fuel pump, turn off the air conditioner and radios, pull the mixture control to idle cut-off, leave the throttle full aft, turn off the magneto and master switches, and set the parking brake

Turn off the air conditioner and radios, pull the mixture control to idle cut-off, leave the throttle full forward, turn off the master switch, and set the parking brake

Turn off the electric fuel pump, pull the mixture control to idle cut-off, leave the throttle full forward, turn off the master switch, and set the parking brake

Clear selection

What should be done to ensure safe taxiing of the airplane?

1 point

Check wing clearances when taxiing near buildings, but do not worry about having a guide outside the airplane

Taxi at high RPM over loose stones or gravel to clear the ground quickly

Apply brakes after taxiing forward a few feet to determine their effectiveness, make slight turns to check steering, observe wing clearances, look for holes and ruts on uneven ground, and avoid operating the engine at high RPM over loose materials that may cause damage to the propeller blades.

Start taxiing without performing any checks if ground personnel are present

Clear selection

What is the typical cause of engine roughness?

1 point

Carburetor icing

Fuel contamination

Magneto malfunction

Oil leakage

Clear selection

What cautionary advice is provided in POM regarding the use of partial carburetor heat?

1 point

Partial carburetor heat should be avoided altogether to prevent engine damage.

Always use partial carburetor heat to prevent ice accumulation in the intake system.

Partial carburetor heat may cause more harm than good, as it can lead to refreezing of melted ice in the intake system. Thus, full heat should be used, and the control should be returned to the full cold position after ice removal.

Carburetor heat should only be used during extreme icing conditions to avoid engine roughness.

Clear selection

What is the likely consequence if the cabin door of a Cherokee aircraft springs partially open during flight?

1 point

It will cause significant aerodynamic instability, making it unsafe to continue the flight.

The aircraft will experience a sudden loss of altitude and airspeed.

Normal flight characteristics will remain unaffected, allowing for a safe landing with the door open.

The aircraft will become difficult to control, necessitating an emergency landing.
